That night, Anna dreamed.
She dreamed she was with Matthew, who was kind, wiped her tears, soothed her gently and kissed her.
Although it was a dream, Anna felt that it was all unreal, like a dream too not a dream, and at night she tried hard to dream longer, hoping that the dream would last forever.
But the harder she tried, the faster she woke up.
After a while, Anna's consciousness cleared and she opened her eyes to find that there was light outside the window and the pillows were wet.
Anna was a little confused, had she been crying all night?
She had dreamed last night that she was with Matthew, very happy, but it did not seem real, and she had tried to confirm it but had not dared, so she woke up.
Undoubtedly it had only been in her dreams that her heart's long-desired wish had come true.
And real life, as always, continued.
With this thought, Anna got up to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up and changed the wet pillowcase, then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, changed her clothes and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
After breakfast, Anna immediately went downstairs and was greeted by the first rays of sunshine she encountered all day, which warmed her face and body. Anna stood still for a moment to feel them carefully.
It didn't matter, if she was loveless she had other things, the years were still good and she was getting on with her life.

Four months later
Giancarlo also left his job, and he and Amelia came to help out from time to time, but most of the time they stayed at home watering flowers and making tea, and occasionally went out for walks and dances in the square.
People around her were envious of her, saying that Amelia was great, that she had a daughter who could run a business, that she was enjoying her life ahead of schedule, and that it was a pity Anna hadn't married yet, so they would have to speed up their plans or something.
Serena's belly was already very large. From the beginning, when she had little appetite, to the end, when her appetite had increased, Serena's whole body was much rounder, and the saddest thing was that she also had a lot of edema, and the baby was very fussy in her belly, kicking a lot.
Seeing his wife in that state, Cristian did not even want to take care of the business, he left his job to Luca and went home to spend time with his wife.
Sometimes, when he saw Serena like that, Cristian would slyly approach her.
-If I didn't know she was a female, from the way she treated you, I would have wanted to beat her at birth," he said.
At his words, Serena glowered at him.
-It doesn't make sense, even if it's not a girl, it's still your child, how can you do this?
Cristian looked at her deeply and took her in his arms, kissing her forehead with compassion.
-Don't have any more children when you are done with this one.
Serena froze. She thought Cristian would ask for more children of his own, but no....
-Two is enough, I don't want you to go through this again.
Actually, Serena was not reluctant to have children, but she also thought that two would be enough and nodded in agreement.
-OK, that's enough.
