Chapter 94: The True Beginning. 2

Hlaugh softly

“Well… someone had to save the situation.”

Clara lowers her gaze to her plate again, still with that sinall smile on her lips.

For a few seconds we eat in silence again, the morning light coming in stronger now, filling the kitchen. And while I watch her there, sitting in front of me, with her bathrobe, her hair still damp and that calm on her face…

I think something that I don’t say out loud, that this scene… This breakfast is simple.

This awkward but kind conversation is strangely… family. As if we were remembering how this is done, how to share a morning.

I walk into the bathroom with my clothes in hand, close the door behind me, and for a moment just stand there, looking around. It is… very Clara.

I wouldn’t know how to explain it any other way, the bathroom is simple, clean, but each little space has something of its own. Above the sink there are several bottles lined up: creams, perfumes, hair products that I don’t know how to name. The mirror has a small corner occupied by a clamp and a black garter.

I open the cabinet a little, more things, bottles, towels folded carefully. Everything has that particular order that she always had.

I breathe, and then I notice it. Its aroma is in the towels, in the air. In the products.

It’s a soft, familiar smell… one that for years was also in my own bathroom.

And suddenly I realize something I’ve never thought about too much.

When Clara left… Many things disappeared from my life all at once.

Not only her, but also those small details. The creams in the sink, the bottles that took up half a shelf, the tongs forgotten everywhere.

Even in that… the spaces were filled by her.

I get in the shower and let the water fall a few minutes longer than necessary. Maybe because this place still feels a little foreign. Or maybe because my head is too full.

When I go out, I dry myself quickly and roll the towel around my waist.

I open the bathroom door, Clara is in the room.

She looks up when I step out, and for a second she stays still.

“Here are your clothes,” she says.

She points to the bed.

it’s already dry.”

look in the direction she indicates, my clothes are folded over the sheets Clean, tidy.

I look at her again. And then I notice something else.
