Heyyy. Manteniendo las buenas costumbres. Así queeee espero que os guste y, realmente, tengo poco más que decir. Buena semana, ¿supongo? Y buen verano. Y buen viaje para aquellos afortunados que viajen.
No digo nada más.
18. Playing with fire
Hilary was an incredibly serious and
melancholic woman, as she soon figured out. On first impression, she would've
seemed pretty sensible, but maybe not as sensitive. Or it could just be the way
she gazed as Sam, all cold eyes and severe expression, as though she had built
a fortress around her heart. On second thought, Hilary appeared to be a broken
person.
'Who told you I was looking for her?' Sam
finally asked, cautious, after the other woman's mouth clenched with
impatience. When she heard her, however, she smirked. Somehow, it felt utterly
uncomfortable.
'Who could it be? My Jamey of course. He came home
the other day, biting his lip, all concentrated. It's what he does whenever
he's about to ask a question, you know. So the next thing I know, he's asking
with his steady eyes, "Mom, do you know any Julia... Harrell? No, it was
Farrell. Yes! Julia Farrell. Is she the mom of anyone of my classmates?"
So, obviously I wanted to know why he was asking.' She stopped a second to take
a sip of her cigarette. Then Hilary stared intently at her while she continued:
'That was when he told me about you. How you have met him on the beach, and
what you wanted to know.'

Putting out her cigarette, Hilary finally
stopped glaring at Sam. Actually, it hadn't been a glare, at least strictly...
Yet it certainly felt like one.
'If you allow me to ask, Ms. Cardigan, who is
that woman to you?'
'My aunt. My father...' Taking a deep breath,
she prepared to confess what she hadn't told anyone yet. Hilary was cold, yes,
but something about the woman made her feel confident. 'My father seems to be
in really deep trouble, and I found a letter after my mother died. He asked me
for help. Maybe it's too late, but... Anyways, I was hoping I could still do
something.'
'I see.' Suddenly, her eyes were filled with
resignation and sadness. 'There is few I know about her. She... hadn't very
good friends, honestly. Actually, I absolutely doubt they could be called
friends. Rather the contrary. Julia, she... Look, she hasn't had good company
in a while. Her son is all she has left, that I know.'
Suddenly she stood up, making Sam jump. 'Wait,
where...?'
'James and Jordan are coming back.' The woman
looked at her one last time. 'Right now, you're playing with fire. I don't know
how long has it been since your father sent you the letter, but if you keep
digging you might be in danger. Whatever has happened to your father, I'm not
sure it's worth the risk.'
And when the boys came, Hilary swiftly said
goodbye and pulled them away from her, leaving Samantha stunned at the bar's
table.
Hum. Vaya. Cada vez tengo más interés por ver a dónde nos lleva esto xD
