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.

– One in the morning… the night is long again.

She decides that maybe a glass of warm milk can help her fall asleep for more than just an hour, she reluctantly puts on her slippers, thinking that a therapist would give her thousands of tips for sleeping, but no one will help her if she doesn’t tell her. the source of your insomnia.

She opens the door and rushes out, colliding with a hard, warm body, which catches her before she hits the ground.

Luz only sees Gerard’s eyes, because if she looks the other way she’ll prove her theory that he’s not wearing a shirt, something her hands are pretty sure of.

“S-excuse me, I didn’t think anyone would be up at this hour.”

-I can’t sleep – Gerard tells him enjoying that intimate contact – Insomnia?

-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 -.
