Unul dintre prietenii lui Ethan se apropie cu pa\u0219i hot\u0103r\u00e2\u021bi de u\u0219\u0103 \u0219i b\u0103tu cu putere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ethan, deschide! E totul bine?<\/p>\n
Din\u0103untru se auzi zgomotul unui obiect spart \u0219i apoi un scaun tr\u00e2ntit. F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 mai a\u0219tepte, b\u0103rbatul ap\u0103s\u0103 clan\u021ba. U\u0219a era \u00eencuiat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 D\u0103-te la o parte! \u2014 spuse altul, aduc\u00e2nd repede o umbrel\u0103 metalic\u0103 de pe teras\u0103 \u0219i izbind \u00een broasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd u\u0219a ced\u0103, to\u021bi r\u0103maser\u0103 \u00eenm\u0103rmuri\u021bi. Dormitorul era \u00eentors cu susul \u00een jos: lenjeria smuls\u0103, o lamp\u0103 r\u0103sturnat\u0103, oglinda spart\u0103. Madison st\u0103tea \u00een genunchi l\u00e2ng\u0103 pat, cu fa\u021ba sc\u0103ldat\u0103 \u00een lacrimi. Rochia ei era rupt\u0103 \u00eentr-o parte, iar m\u00e2inile \u00eei tremurau.<\/p>\n
Ethan era \u00een picioare, l\u00e2ng\u0103 dulap, palid ca varul, cu o cutie mic\u0103 de catifea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. P\u0103rea c\u0103 tocmai v\u0103zuse o fantom\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat?! \u2014 strig\u0103 unul dintre na\u0219i.<\/p>\n
Madison se ridic\u0103 cu greu \u0219i ar\u0103t\u0103 spre cutie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mi-a dat asta… chiar acum…<\/p>\n
To\u021bi privir\u0103 \u00een\u0103untru: o pereche de cercei cu smaralde. Frumo\u0219i, scumpi, dar ceea ce tulbur\u0103 atmosfera nu era bijuteria… ci biletul mic strecurat sub catifea: \u201ePentru tine, iubirea mea. \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 m-am c\u0103s\u0103torit cu ea.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Lini\u0219tea se l\u0103s\u0103 ca o p\u0103tur\u0103 grea peste camer\u0103.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ethan… ce e asta? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 Madison, cu glasul fr\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n Ethan \u00ee\u0219i ascunse fa\u021ba \u00een palme.<\/p>\n \u2014 Nu trebuia… Nu trebuia s\u0103 ajung\u0103 la tine… Era pentru altcineva. O gre\u0219eal\u0103… o gre\u0219eal\u0103 veche…<\/p>\n \u2014 A cui e scrisul? \u2014 \u00eentreb\u0103 o rud\u0103, apropiindu-se.<\/p>\n \u2014 Al fratelui meu… \u2014 murmur\u0103 mirele. \u2014 A fost \u00eendr\u0103gostit de ea. De Madison. Mereu a fost.<\/p>\n Toat\u0103 lumea izbucni \u00een murmure \u0219i \u00eentreb\u0103ri. \u00cen acea clip\u0103, soacra Madisoni \u00ee\u0219i puse m\u00e2na la gur\u0103, ca \u0219i cum ar fi vrut s\u0103 \u00eempiedice o m\u0103rturisire, dar era prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n \u2014 E adev\u0103rat. \u0218tiam. Dar am sperat c\u0103, odat\u0103 cu nunta, totul se va lini\u0219ti…<\/p>\n Madison se cl\u0103tin\u0103. Lacrimile \u00eei curgeau \u0219iroaie, dar acum \u00een ochii ei nu mai era doar durere \u2014 era tr\u0103dare. A l\u0103sat cerceii s\u0103 cad\u0103 pe podea, apoi s-a uitat spre Ethan.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ai avut ocazia s\u0103 spui adev\u0103rul \u00eenainte de jur\u0103minte.
