Lorena rubbed my back soothingly, her calming aura had comforted me. My cheeks were cold, my glass like tears stained them red. I could tell my nose was red as the coldness tingled on it. I steadied my breath, inhaling and exhaling. I pulled away from Lorena and my eyes looked down at the sun-kissed grass.

I didn't want her to see those blood-shot eyes of mine that had 'Infertile' written on them. "Hey, look at me, dear," Lorena looked up at me with a small smile. "Don't look away from me, Shira, you must think positive. Miracles take a little bit of time to happen, sì" I looked up, meeting her gaze. I nodded whilst small tears still travelled down my cheeks.

(T: yes)

"Anyway, wipe these tears away and let's talk about Val" She winked and wiggled her eyebrows. I laughed and wiped my tears away, still sniffling. She took my hand and pulled me down to sit down on the grass, her brown hair glowing in the golden sun. "So, now don't deny! But what were you doing before you went to the beach and earlier on today." She looked puzzled.

"Nothing-" I began but Lorena pulled my ear gently yet hard. I moaned in discomfort.

"Don't say 'nothing' because I saw the amount of tension there was between the two of you. My, my you would need a very sharp knife to cut that." I was speechless at her comment. "Shira, it's time for you to take time and look for someone decent. Don't fret Theo or Alexandre, they will need to accept that you have grown up and you're not a little girl anymore."

"But-" I wasn't given a chance to speak as Lorena shushed me. I smiled at her lecture. This was definitely one thing I missed, Lorena's lectures were very funny. She would try to act all serious and bold but her loving side would always come out in the end.

"Look, if there's something going on, welcome it and see whether it works out. You'll never know until you find out for yourself..." Lorena began to ramble on, which she had a bad habit of doing.

"Lorena-" I grabbed her hand and looked at her. "There's nothing going on, besides I don't think Valerius likes me like that because he's just playing around you know." I said in all honesty. Valerius needed a strong queen for himself and his business

"No, I don't actually know," She sarcastically said. "Shira, I see something there that I have never seen when Valerius was with Chantelle." She said, looking in the depth of my eyes that held confusion.

"Chantelle and Valerius's relationship?" I questioned. Chantelle, the model of a lingerie brand. I never knew they were both together, I mean how could I when I didn't even meet him until now. I started to feel somewhat sad but I quickly masked it.

"Yes, before all of this ever happened, and what I mean this, I mean Valerius becoming a player, he was in a very unhealthy relationship. All I can say is that Valerius truly loved that girl but she was one nasty woman." She spoke out of disgust.
