But this time, instead of weeping in the darkness, she furiously started to pick up her things. It didn’t take long. A large piece of luggage and two cardboard boxes were enough to pack her part of the trip that —just a year ago— they had started together, surrounded by their family and friends.

—Mmm… I think I’ve screwed it up again... This piece of luggage was for our anniversary surprise trip to… —Stop it! Stop it before you deAinitely screw it up, —she said, interrupting him with a kiss. And holding his arm she said: —Will you help me to reheat dinner? I need to talk to you.
