Buondì!
La giornata è iniziata decisamente male, ma mi consolo leggendo qualche pagina di un bel libro tra un’ora di studio e l’altra. Il periodo che precede gli esami è stressante da morire e dopo 3 anni di università ancora non ho imparato a gestirlo come dovrei.
Accantonando questi discorsi, vi lascio con il Teaser di questa settimana, ringraziando Kia per avermi coperta la settimana scorsa.
She’s next to a car, fumbling around in her purse. By the time she retrieves her keys, I’m standing next to her. I yank the keys out of her hands and walk toward my car, which is parked right next to hers.
“Ben!” she yells. “Give me my keys!”
I unlock my car and crank it. I roll down the windows and then move to the backseat and strap Oliver in his car seat. When I’m positive he’s still asleep, I walk back to her car.
“You can’t leave hating me,” I say, putting the keys back in her hand. “Not after everything we’ve been—”
“I don’t hate you, Ben,” she interjects. Her voice is offended and there are still tears streaming down her cheeks. “This was part of the deal, wasn’t it?” She wipes at her eyes, almost angrily, and then she continues. “We live our lives. We date other people. We fall in love with our dead brother’s wives. And in the end, we see what happens. Well, we’ve reached the end, Ben. A little early, but it’s definitely the end.”
I look past her, too ashamed to make eye contact with her. “We still have two more years, Fallon. We don’t have to end it today.”Fourth November 9th (Ben) – NOVEMBER 9 di Colleen Hoover
