One Year to Part: Passion and Deception
Chapter 27

Chapter 27:.

He walked to his bedroom window and found that outside everything was still dark. Since he wasn’t sleepy he thought he’d get to work for a while. He left the room looking for a good place to settle in, he didn’t like working from his room because it felt very unprofessional.

She had decided to stay in the living room, when Hugo came downstairs, it was the second time Sara saw him without a suit, he was wearing a black tracksuit and his hair was tousled. He no longer gave that image of a bitter businessman, he looked younger.

Sara found herself watching him for too long and quickly looked away. Hugo had noticed it too and smiled.

“I’m going to the kitchen for a glass of milk. Would you like some?” asked Hugo in a nonchalant way and Sara was surprised by this change of attitude.

“Another one for me too, please.” she replied nervously without knowing why.

“Okay.”

Hugo left for the kitchen and Sara stared at the laptop in front of her with a blank mind. Five minutes later Hugo returned with two glasses of warm milk, he extended one to Sara and she took it , they were silent for a few minutes not knowing what to say. Even Hugo spoke up.

“Why don’t you go back to sleep, what are you doing so early?”

Sara hesitated for a moment before answering, she didn’t know whether to confess to him that she was a writer, but considering that he after all was her husband she decided to speak.

“I’m not sleepy and decided to get a head start on work. In my spare time I dedicate myself to writing novels.” Hugo feigned an astonished face, as if he wasn’t already aware of it.

“Interesting, and how many have you published.”

“So far only five, in a few days work starts on my last book and I’m already starting the next one.”

“You seem like a very busy woman, it must be a lot of work to write five books.”

“The truth is that I had the first three ready a long time ago, I just hadn’t had the opportunity to present them to a publisher.”

“If you have a lot of work you can use the study, it’s on the third floor. There are some documents of mine from work but I don’t think they will be in your way too much.”

“Thank you very much, but I prefer to be alone when I write, I replace it hard to replace the words or concentrate when I have people around.”

The couple continued chatting and getting to know each other, when Hugo looked at the clock again he realized that it was already seven in the morning, so he had to leave for work and Sara for the University.

He suddenly remembered that since he had brought her in his car the night before, her car must have stayed in the parking lot of the discotheque. So when he finished dressing he waited for her at the entrance of the villa.

“Would you like a ride?” he said with a radiant smile that left her speechless for a few seconds.

“Yes of course, please.”

“You should stop finishing your answer with please, in the end I am the one offering and after all I am not a stranger, I am your husband.” Sara didn’t know how to respond and remained silent.

It was the first time Hugo called himself that, it was the first time he considered himself a married man and Sara as his wife, but for some surprising reason he didn’t feel strange, on the contrary, he felt comfortable and a warm feeling spread through his chest adorning his face with a beautiful smile.
