Mousetrap
Oh, she was really hoping he'd respond soon, but no such luck. She thought he needed time to tell her what he needed to tell her. Oh dear, that didn't bode well at all!
-I'm so glad we're on the same page! I have to admit, I felt pretty angry about it. I think, Flávia, that I have been really patient with you during this time, but I do have some limits. And I have to say, your attitude has been a little bit unkind and even a little bit ungrateful, which made me think about what we have together...
- I understand. You're right. Maybe it's better this way. I'm generally not good company, but I'm really grateful for your understanding. Thank you so much for everything.
He got up. Raúl held his arm.
- Where are you going? I'm not finished yet. You give up too easily...
They made peace and Flavia promised to try to trust him more.
It really takes resilience, courage and resistance to be able to see what comes after the storm.
Flavia was really aware of all this, but she felt that the initial strength was starting to give way to resignation and disappointment...
She tried to cheer herself up by doing a little tidying.
She opens the underwear drawer and... to her great surprise, there it is, right above, the black bra, as if it had never gone anywhere!
Oh, she couldn't be that crazy, surely? Oh, no, no, no! Oh, she was sure the bra was gone! She turned around quickly, her hands on her head.
She popped into the kitchen to have a quick glass of water and was delighted to see a beautiful white daisy sitting on the counter.
Oh, now she was sure someone was coming into his house! After all, she wasn't crazy, thank goodness! Oh, she knew it was a little bit, but not completely.
They changed the lock on her door. She wanted to see how they entered.
Flavia wondered who they were and why they went to the house to do these little things and not steal anything?
She wasn't sure if she should go to the police...
She thought it would be a good idea to run it by Raúl first and get his take on it. Then she'd be able to make an informed decision. It was what he thought would be best for everyone.
Before heading out, Flavia thought it would be a good idea to take a few simple precautions to make sure that the house was safe and sound. So, she put some adhesive tape on the door to her room, which she'd left closed at the top. The tape was designed to let her know if someone had gone in there, without getting in the way or making it difficult to open the door. And she left a few little things here and there around the house, just to make sure everything was all right. When she arrived, she immediately checked if the new lock had really worked.
