A doua zi, Margaret ie\u0219i din azil cu pa\u0219i mici, dar hot\u0103r\u00e2\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Purta o rochie albastr\u0103 cu imprimeu floral, de parc\u0103 ar fi mers la o nunt\u0103 de var\u0103 la \u021bar\u0103, \u0219i \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 avea o geant\u0103 veche de piele. O ma\u0219in\u0103 o a\u0219tepta la poart\u0103 \u2014 o Dacia Logan modest\u0103, condus\u0103 de un b\u0103rbat de vreo 40 de ani, cu chip blajin.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua, doamn\u0103 Margaret! Sunt Mihai, \u0219oferul. Unde mergem? \u00eentreb\u0103 el z\u00e2mbind.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La banc\u0103, dragul meu. \u0218i apoi\u2026 la agen\u021bia de turism.<\/p>\n
O or\u0103 mai t\u00e2rziu, Margaret semna cu m\u00e2na ferm\u0103 ni\u0219te documente. Func\u021bionara de la banc\u0103 o privea cu uimire, mai ales c\u00e2nd a v\u0103zut cifrele din cont \u0219i instruc\u021biunile clare:<\/p>\n
\u201eTransfer interna\u021bional. Rezervare complet\u0103 pentru o c\u0103l\u0103torie \u00een Grecia. \u0218i \u00eenc\u0103 ceva: a\u0219 vrea s\u0103 fac o dona\u021bie anonim\u0103 c\u0103tre un orfelinat din Vaslui.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peste o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103, Margaret era deja la Atena.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i savura cafeaua greceasc\u0103 la o teras\u0103 umbrit\u0103 de l\u0103m\u00e2i \u0219i, din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd, \u00eei trimitea mesaje lui Isla, t\u00e2n\u0103ra care \u00eei aprinsese din nou dorin\u021ba de a tr\u0103i.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, \u00een timp ce privea apusul peste mare, Margaret se g\u00e2ndi la tot ce pierduse \u2014 dar \u0219i la tot ce descoperise.<\/p>\n
Via\u021ba nu se termin\u0103 c\u00e2nd copiii te dau la o parte.<\/p>\n
Via\u021ba se termin\u0103 doar atunci c\u00e2nd renun\u021bi la tine.<\/p>\n
Iar ea abia acum \u00eencepea.<\/p>\n
\u00cenapoi acas\u0103, Brian deschidea cutia po\u0219tal\u0103. Printre facturi \u0219i pliante, g\u0103si un plic f\u0103r\u0103 timbru. \u00cen\u0103untru era o poz\u0103 cu Margaret \u00een Grecia, \u021bin\u00e2nd un pahar de vin alb \u0219i z\u00e2mbind larg, cu soarele pe chip.<\/p>\n
Pe spate, scria doar at\u00e2t:<\/p>\n
\u201eS\u0103 nu ui\u021bi niciodat\u0103: bun\u0103tatea nu se mo\u0219tene\u0219te, se alege.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brian se uit\u0103 lung la fotografie. \u0218i, pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een ani\u2026 pl\u00e2nse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
