I had to hide fast before he saw me. Danger dominated my body, I had been faced so many times with what my body had created a new and different feeling when I saw him.

Stefania: Here you go!

Erica: Thank you.

I'm squeezing the paper in my hand, terrified. If I left now, he'd probably notice me. I'm looking the other way. There's a door, the toilets! I hurriedly greet Stefania and disappeared into them. From the first moment I realized something's wrong with this place. And yes, I was in the men's.

I was already hearing voices from outside. I walked into a cabin, I had to think of something fast. If they found me here, they'd think I was anomalous or something. Well, I'm sure they'd throw me out. I didn't know his profession, but I didn't think he was a banker at this particular bank!

I saw the paper in my hand, from my anxiety now it looked miserable crumpled in a ball. The way it was, I threw it in my bag. Is this the life I deserve? I couldn't remember my most serious sin that made me suffer all this.

I burst into crying, my emotions had to find a way out of my soul or I'd be bursting. I'm blindly looking for mania. It calms me down to read it, it's like someone else needs to make the decisions for me.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and with trembling hands turned the page, the relationship I had with these books was dependency. I was looking for answers in them that they couldn't give me practically that way. I demanded to take love and hate from the books, I demanded to feel.

A gentleman opened the tap. I've always been an observer and that doesn't change easily, almost inadvertently bowing my head and going left and right until I find the right slope. I can see through the crack his face.

That was the twisted gentleman I couldn't talk to yet, even now he seemed glum. The door opened and Gregory and Dinos came in, they didn't seem to come out of necessity here, more to talk.

Gregory: Do you know who came to Stefania to ask for our phones? Erica.

Dinos: Really, this one from the meeting.. Fortunately, there is also a remarkable person who wants to be added to our circle.

The grumpy one left without paying attention to them, they shouldn't know each other, so he is not among my suspects. Protectively, I'm putting the book in its place.

Gregory: You know this idiot wants to go out again on Saturday.

Dinos: I'm not going out with Jason again, I can't stand him. You do what you think.

Gregory: We're not going to go out and listen to him talk about his books either. As if we're interested in them, he's a total showman.

They're giggling. If they were not the ones, who was? My investigations were fruitless. I felt like I was falling against a wall. They walked away and I went out, and there was a back door here. I wonder if it was open?
