Chapter 12

• “I... I don't know what to say, Nikolay. L—I'm sorry”. I mentioned. “it's amazing how the things that happen to us mark our lives and transform us into people we don't want to be. My life is also marked by death. My mother must have in an accident when she discovered my father bedridden with my aunt, they had no qualms about hiding their relationship and after his death they married and the months later my father also died, he left my comings in charge of her until she was twenty”one years old, she wanted to keep everything murdering me, as you already know”. I said, smiling. “That's why I was running here, I was hoping to find Julian, my boyfriend, but I think he left, I don't think he received a single letter from me”. he added.
• “I think we have more in common than you might imagine”. he replied, causing my cheeks to redden. I shrugged trying to downplay the situation.
• “Maybe you're right”. I said, smiling slightly, thinking of my next words. “I want to work”. I said, maybe I would regret this later, but I also understood that I needed the money to be able to move on, Nikolay as kind as I was, he didn't have me living on charity all the time. “But I will not murder anyone”. I added, being blunt in my answer.
