Chapter 38

Only at this moment Edward remembered that I was there. His eyes widened momentarily, and I could perfectly understand who that woman was. Probably the ex-girlfriend who took him to the extreme of climbing that bridge and wishing his death. I watched her on her back, stopping my eyes in her little demure posture and in the way she seemed very willing to grab him in the slightest carelessness. Edward took a cautious step to the side, turning until he was close enough to hold me by the waist. Confused, Suzie gave me a questioning look.

"This is my girlfriend, Leandra," he said in a suspicious tone. The hand he held on my waist was loose, as if he already felt that the anger that emanated from my body was not something that would pass very easily. As if he could notice that the way I was busy, it was not just a posture for the years of good education. That I was really ready to throw the caramelized apple on his head and give it away. "We are living together and everything else."
