«What do you want to eat?» she then asks me.
«Mhm... I don't know!» I laugh with embarrassment.
«Maybe we could order two pizzas? My husband isn't home tonight».
In the end we decide to order the pizza, two margherita.
After about half an hour the pizza rider arrives. Being already lukewarm, we sit on the high chairs in the kitchen and start eating.
«Mhm,» Anna begins with her mouth full, «would you like some wine?»
I love wine! «Yes thanks! I like wine a lot».
She gets up and goes to pour a little red wine into two glasses.
«Thanks» I tell her when she hands it to me.
She takes a sip and then asks me, «So, how was your journey?»
Should I tell the truth? Yes, I have to.
«Hey, are you there?» she says seeing me lost in my thoughts.
«Well, it didn't go as I wanted...» and my face begins to wet with tears.
Anna reaches out and puts her hands on mine. «Hey, look at me. You can tell me what happened between you two...»
«He lied to me».
«What kind of lie?»
«A huge lie...»
«Was it cruel?»
«Yeah, a lot».
«And is he sorry?»
«I don't know, I don't even know where he is right now...» I burst into sobs.
«Oh my God, what did he do to you?»
«I don't feel like talking, it's too painful for me now».
«Did he call you?» she goes get some handkerchiefs.
«Yes, several times, he wanted to talk to me».
«Then call him back! Josephine, listen, whatever he did to you, he really loves you, more than anything else. He told me wonderful things about you two, about you. If he knew he would leave you he would never have told me any of this».
Did he really say them?
A faint smile appears on my face. «Really?»
«Yes, I would never tell you a lie just to give you some hope».
«Anna, thanks for everything» and I go to hug her.

Going up to my room I decide to take a shower that clears my thoughts.
The water once falls on my shoulders and I feel my muscles soften. I crouch on the ground for at least 10 minutes. I look at the comb on the ground and I remember that time at the campers when Hero and I took a shower together...
After having soaped and rinsed, I immediately decide to go out, because it's late and those thoughts would have killed me.
I put on my pajamas and immediately slip between the sheets of my bed.
I close my eyes and do nothing but see him, but I don't mind that, I miss him.
