Answer 1

Chapter 16

When Julio comes into the house he is so tired he cannot think clearly.

Enters the room and gets a glass. Then, approaches the window. While drinking little by little, he remembers the strange light. A white light that would not let him see Laura. Laura! That girl ... do you think of it? ...

Suddenly, he remembers Maribel. Imagines again the dead girl among the garbage cans. Imagine his hands on the white collar on the cold neck of Maribel. Her eyes open as he kisses her. But no ... She loved another and left without saying anything. All go. But this cannot happen again.

Think of Laura, in her eyes, her mouth. This time everything will be different ...

"Ah, son, are you here? Soon you're back!"

Julio's mother came home at that time and has been found near the window.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Nothing, Mom. I was thinking ..."

"Of what, tell me".

Julio, looks on in silence.

"something happened to you, right? Tell me".

Your child does not say a word, just the eye contact.

"It's That Girl, that girl who the police found dead? Isn't it? I feel sorry?"

The woman takes the hand of her son. And continuous.

"You must not be so. You know how all those silly girls are ... Girls just want to laugh at you. As Laura called you many times today heavy ..."

"No mom. Laura is different. Really".
