I'm sitting in my office, looking at the numbers on the computer screen... but I'm not seeing anything at all.
My mind is elsewhere, on Clara. Since last night, the feeling hasn't left my chest.
To have held her in my arms again, to have felt her skin, her breathing.
Her way of pronouncing my name...
I close my eyes for a moment and lean my back against the chair. I might think that after what happened last night... I have advanced, that we took an important step. But the truth is different, I know I can still lose her.
Clara did not return to me, she did not return to my life completely. She only allowed me to go in a little... again. And I know how fragile that space is.
A false move, a misspoken word. And everything can disappear.
I run a hand over my face, thoughtful.
