Chapter 28

After leaving Charlize fast asleep in her bed, Luz leaves the room, still looking at the little girl with love.

She goes to her room, looks for a simple pajamas with a long-sleeved shirt and pants, gathers her hair in a high bun, gets in the shower and lets the hot water warm her body , in addition to looking for that relaxation what you need to sleep. When she gets out of there, she dresses quickly and goes to bed, with the nightstand light on, she looks at the ceiling for a while and then turns to hug the pillow, closing her eyes waiting for sleep to come to her.

But every time that happens, the images of that mask in the cloud of her senses attack her and she wakes with a start.

He sighs in frustration, sits up in bed, and checks the time.

-Yes – he reluctantly releases her and she fixes her eyes on the stairs – . She was going for a glass of warm milk.

– I’m going for the same thing, I’ll go with her – but before he takes a step, Luz stops him, closing her eyes and turning towards him -.
