Episode 4

Employee-lawyer, may I come in?

Adam-yes, come in...

Employee-He asked me to let him know if I had any news about Miss Ross.

Adam closes his computer and turns to look at him.

Adam-What do you know about her?

"Tell me..."

Employee- Miss Ross was released 2 days ago!

Adam-uff good, finally.... that's great! he sighed happily.

He leaned back in his office chair.

Employee-Sir... I don't understand why you're happy... her arrest was supposed to be good for you and the prosecutor.

Adam-It's not as simple as that...

"Leave and bring me what I have to sign."

He leans back in his chair, with some relief.

"How is she, what will she do now?"

"Mmm maybe I should go see her... I can help her.. Someone knocks on the door."

Monica-May I?

Adam-Yes, come in..

Monica-Hello love, I missed you.. She sits on his lap.

Adam-Hello beautiful.

"What are you doing here?"

Monica-Can't a girl visit her fiance?

"You look very attractive today."

Adam-Thanks, you more... he grabs her cheek and kisses her sweetly.

Monica-I came to pick you up so we can have dinner at my parents' house, remember, we talked about it 2 days ago..

Adam-Ahh. he grabs his head in doubt.

Monica-You forgot? uff again!

She gets up from his lap.

"It always happens the same way, you have me in the background of your life!"

Adam-Hey wait, I just forgot, you know I have a lot of work!

"We already talked about it several times.."

Monica-No! you talked!

"You promised me, that you would come to my parents' house for a family dinner!"

"It's like you want to sabotage everything..."

Adam-Hey, you're making everything bigger than it is!

"I didn't say I wouldn't go... I just forgot."

Monica-Mm really?

"Will you go?"

Adam-Yes.

Monica-Ahh sorry..

"Sorry for getting like this... it's just that I really love you and I want to be with you!"

"But we're hardly together lately."

Adam-You're right, I'm very busy lately, I know!

"But I really want to go to your parents' house.. yes?"

Monica-Ok, well then I'll see you today?

"Will you pick me up?"

Adam-Of course!

Monica-Ok. she wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him passionately, taking him to the armchair.

Adam-Hey not here, I'm at my job.

Monica-It's been a while since you touched me and we haven't been together...

"Come on, let's mess up your office a little!"

Adam-Let's leave it for another time!

"Come on, be good..."

"We'll see each other for a while!"

Monica-Oook .. good.

"Get very handsome, and pick me up at eight!"

Adam-Ok, I'll be there! he gives her a final kiss on the lips and she leaves.

He is left alone in his office and starts working.

Employee- Sir, they called you from the prosecutor's office, you must go.. Adam looks at his watch.

Adam-Mm it's 18:45..

"Ok, let's go."

"Take the folders.."

(...)

It was 9:30 p.m. he had already left the courthouse and had gone to his office to continue working.

"God, shit, dinner! he grabs his phone and it was off."

He quickly grabbed his suit, adjusted his clothes and went out to find Monica.

In the car he plugged in his phone to charge and started calling her non-stop.

"Come on, answer me."

"God what a fool!"

When he arrived at her apartment he rang the bell and no one came out, he got back in the car and drove to her parents' house.

When he arrived, he rang the doorbell of the house.

Woman-Hello son, what are you doing?

Adam- I'm sorry I was very busy and I missed the dinner.

"Ufff is she inside? can I talk to her?"

Woman-Yes, but she is very angry, it is better if you leave her alone...

"Maybe you can talk tomorrow."

"Yes?"

"I understand you, but she is angry now..."

"If you really want to be with her, you must make time to be together.."

"When you love someone you always find the time."

Adam-Yes, you're right..

"I must organize myself a little, that's all.."

"Thank you, I will return tomorrow."

He got in the car and returned to his apartment.

When he arrived he took a shower, got into bed and took an file from the nightstand, it said Victoria Ross.

There were photos of her arrest, and some more images of evidence.

"The times I've read this and I still have it here.. ufff."

He put on his glasses and stared at the file once more, until he fell asleep.

It had been 3 days since she had been released from prison, almost three whole days without sleep.

She grabbed money, her phone and put everything in a cloth bag and other things, finally before leaving her house, she saw a photograph of her as a child with her mother and grabs it.

Victoria-I miss you ma' so much..

"I miss your food, our talks about nonsense, doing everything together.."

"I love you mommy.."

After grabbing everything, she left the house, walked approx. 3 kilometers, in which she could only think about everything, about her mother, about what happened, about her release from prison.

After a few hours she arrived at the small cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

Upon arrival she took out a paper where she had written down the sector where her mother's tombstone was.

Minutes later she was in front of the tombstone. She began to remove the dry grasses and dry flowers, garbage around.

"You always liked to tidy up the garden, I'm sorry the house is a mess. she starts to cry and get emotional."

"You must have been very scared... being alone in that clinic."

"I didn't stop thinking about you for a day.. she kept removing the grasses with her hands."

She threw some water and with a damp cloth began to clean the tombstone.

She stayed watching it in silence for a while.

"I miss you so much, so much.."

"It's clean now."

She took out a small frank from her cloth bag, put water in it, and put some daisies in it..

"I'm sorry, the florist only had daisies and carnations.."

"They didn't have white roses, I promise to get some for you next time."

"I promise to come very often... she hears a noise and turns around, there was a man all in black with a suit a few meters from her walking between the tombstones."

"As I was saying I promise to come often.."

"I don't know what to do.. I feel lost..."

"I'm afraid to close my eyes.. I feel alone without you. she sat on the floor completely, grabbing her legs without stopping crying."

"I want to be with you, not here.."
