She was sitting on a stool while wearing a tracksuit and it seemed like she stopped all her movements when she felt Lina's gaze on her as if she had just gotten caught red-handed. She was immobile with the shoelaces in her hands while she was about to tie her shoes and didn't move at all even to raise her head when Lina asked her "What are you doing?"She lifted her head slowly and with a forced smile, she gazed away as if she was looking for a good excuse before she said with an uncertain tone " I-I...

"You're late, I already hung up," she said after she turned slightly her head, so they could hear her voice clearly."What? You have told me you will wait for us to come," Natasha complained while putting her hands on her waist to show her disappointment."Sorry but you were taking too much time," Lina replied not sincere at all, "I have tried to hold him on as long as I could but he has his duty"."I'm sorry, it's my fault if we're late, I have the habit of not noticing the time passing when I'm with my patients," Donald apologized to Natasha while stroking the back of his head."Don't worry," Natasha qu

It's not something easy to believe in and even if they do it's still not certain they will accept it, after all the horrors they went through since that abominable night they may not be mentally ready for what I'm about to ask them," Jamal explained through the phone in a steady voice."You don't need all them to be in, even though it would be better if they could all accept, neither you need to tell them in detail what that mission is all about," Lina outlined, "looking at the actual situation even the 10% of the whole army will be a great help and you know that"."Yeah, I know. I will do my best," he promised.There was a short moment of silence before Lina chuckled, "but I swear, when you said that you will make it in 6 days, I didn't expect you will seriously do it.

•••Nelson had remained silent sitting next to Sania waiting for her to tell him something however since the moment she told him to stay, she didn't open up her mouth. He couldn't stop feeling anxious due to that mysterious tension he could feel in the air at that moment while wondering what she was about to tell him. Minutes passed until he couldn't take it anymore and decided to initiate the discussion himself."If... if you want to tell me how much you loathe me you can go ahead, though I probably already know how you feel. Don't hold back I deserve whatever you will say, after all the things I have done to you".Until then Sania had her arms crossed around her knees while leaning her head on them, without saying a word or turning her head, she slowly released her left hand, and let it wander a little bit until she reached Nelson's right hand and she held it timidly."How?" she said with a little voice smothered by her forearm in front of her mouth."How... ?"
