If happiness was a time Aldair thought his had come to an end after his wife suffered changes with over a several week. His lively and vital Liana had become in a few days in a sad and elusive woman, her beautiful face had dark circles and hardly ate or drank, which was to permeate the body more slender smooth now. Although he had no complaint of the night, as she continued to respond to his kisses and caresses with the same passion that first day, the view up before dawn and left the room quietly made him wonder if he really wanted to share his bed or to liability. For that reason and because she was what mattered most in life decided to turn what at first thought would be a nice gift for an opportunity, he put his soul at the disposal of the female, head down and wrapped in that protected Aris the cold north wind, walked beside him to decide what to do with it.
if madness had a name that was Aldair, Liana decided when she stalled icy blast until the bones cracked skin of the face. It only occurred to him to wake in the middle of the night, forced to dress and follow him across country in winter, it was clear that ultimately the same. I was surprised more than once watching her sullen, others as if they repent of having married her and even their fears disappear at night when under the skins gave free rein to their desire, it was during daylight hours when her heart wondered if he really loved her or if maybe the novelty of marriage had become a tiresome burden to him, wanted to find out but fear the answer had been arrested on more than one occasion. Breathed deeply making scrolls of steam out of her mouth and easing the passage continued walking alongside.
After surrounding the meadow and through the forest, who seemed pleased at this hour, the light appeared before them. The dim moonlight, oblivious to the dark thoughts that gripped them both silver-stained site. Liana looked at the place that recognized the moment, there had appeared alone and scared when he left his day, then called in desperation to Aldair when a pack of wolves circled, right at the site began its new era. He looked up at her husband who was watching her eyes narrowing.
- What are we doing here?
got no reply. He stepped back when he saw him take the dagger from his waist and headed for the road it shone under the silvery light. He shrugged his stomach to see how he gripped the wrist, the horrific idea that would kill you crossed, as if it were a powerful beam, leaving the mind in pain. Trembled when lobbying forced her to open his fist, while studying slid the knife across the palm sprouting blood, a half cry half horror pain welled in her throat. The strong hand of Aldair joined preventing his fall when his knees buckled, received hard contact on his chest while a red veil covering him, after it swallowed nothing wrapped in a dark darkness.
A soft knock on the cheeks reacted slowly was raising her eyelids felt heavy as lead, for a moment of blinding clarity, the sky was now a leaden gray that threatening rain, turned his neck to meet with pale face twisted and her husband. A twinge in his hand to the ground posarla brought the memory of what he had done, wanted to get up and face it, sue him why he had injured when the distant sound of a motor stopped abruptly, looking away Aldair scanned the landscape, old and mossy stones around them, like a spring being joined sitting, could not be, it was impossible that place ... oh holy God were in the cemetery of Calton Hill!
"This is ...
"Yes," interrupted helping him to his feet, "Edinburgh, Edinburgh yours.
"But why?
-questions Do not do not yet replied trying to smile to see how his face lit up, let this day is for you, enjoy it.
With heart leaps for joy in the chest embraced Aldair, who returned the caress before linking your fingers and begin the descent towards the city center. Once in the morning Princess Street noise enveloped the mix among the people, workers rushed to not be late, early bird tourists, camera in hand, young students, pipers who sought a place to blow the instrument in exchange for coins, gardens dominated by black St. Andrews, and on whose banks despite the cold countrymen and foreigners were taking positions in the shadow of the impressive castle. Yes, everything went wonderfully well.
Still talking and oblivious to the strange affliction that was coming over Aldair, Waverly crossed the bridge into the bowels of the old town Market St. in the nose was filled with the aromas coming out of the many cafes, wiped his mouth wanting savor the delicious drink and guts rang him crying out for food, that's when he realized he had no money to to calm your appetite, but that did not discourage.
- Hungry? -A contrite warrior nodded. Come, follow me.
Almost the race, led by Cockburn Street to the Royal Mile , once in the busy street pointed to a sang old building perfectly with the rest of the ancient buildings. When they arrived at their nearby Aldair realized he was still in use for which it was erected, as the Lord's house.
Once inside a kindly looking old and an easy smile came to them not only inviting them to visit the Anglican Chapel, but that led to a table where a pot of tea and a steaming pot the expected coffee accompanied by a tray of freshly baked cookies tasty. After serving a good cup of dark, smelly liquid and gain a few openly ate pasta avidly, walked by the formidable and well-preserved chapel, with high ceilings and lamps with candles. Upon leaving, thanks to the charm of Liana and praise to the cook, had the hot stomach and a bag full of the delicious cookies that will serve as supplies for the rest of the day.
From there they walked the few feet that separated them from the fortress, once in its esplanade watched the majestic building that hid inside much of the history of their country and jewelry were the pride and insignia of Scotland.
They went down Golden Mile stopping in front of the windows of the hundreds of shops inside vomiting tourists, laughed at the wacky and tacky items that some exposed in their windows. Aldair growled and pulled her enthralled when watching some glasses that showed a man wearing kilt showing her ass and seemed to like very much to his wife. Almost returned to forget the sadness she kept inside, when she hit him and giving him a spanking he muttered \u0026lt;\u0026lt;None as este>>.
At North Bridge made an arcade running into an alley, where he vomited everything he had eaten. With the bitter taste in his mouth, wiped the back of his hand and turned face to face with Aldair found that he had approached silently and watched her frowning.
- What happened to you? Are you sick? He asked with concern reflected in his voice.
"No, I'm fine," replied calmly, "must be the nerves and excitement at being back in my homeland is so wonderful return to be near everything I know.
"I'm glad for you," a touch of sorrow tinged her words, how long he had seen no illusions that way? -. Continue, time is different for us and are just a few hours, where you'd like to go next?
-In many places, "said determinedly," I like being with my friends, my people, sleeping in my bed, touching my stuff ...
Aldair studied each trait that arose in the face of Liana to enumerate their wishes, he enjoyed to see her happy but every word he was nailing one by one in the soul.
"Let's go home," he exclaimed suddenly pulling it out of his thoughts, "is very close.
appeared few streets away the object of his desire, a mass of carved facade with windows resembling otearlos watchful eyes appeared in a menacing silence. Liana looked up to what was his home, everything seemed the same and yet everything was different. It shuddered when the male palm landed on her back.
- Will you go?
was going to say yes when the figure of a man stopped short by the entrance gate had appeared Carlos, was accompanied by a shy-looking young blond woman smiling at the dumbfounded, he seemed to finally fallen in love. I was just as I remembered, athletic, attractive and elegant as always with dark hair freshly combed and his suit. To see him take his direction, he instinctively took a step back to avoid being discovered, he sighed relief more than anything else and ignoring irrelevant that simple gesture made the human heart creak behind her grief.
- Why have not spoken to him? "Asked Aldair as soon as the couple disappeared around the corner.
"No, it's better that way," he whispered, choking back a sob, would have to explain so many things that would not be able to understand.
"Let's go" said ignoring the cry he had heard.
"No," starting to walk so you do not see the tears that filled his eyes, is better than not, there are so many memories up there, "just took a few steps to stop again. Oh my God, can not be.
Aldair, who stood rooted to the spot staring at the back of Liana, looked beyond it, did not know what could be exalted in that way, but outside whatever could not cause more grief than it already was, now I had unclear, Liana was missing and everything was burning nostalgia, perhaps because of nobility or pity he could not tell, maybe they forgot that long ago, driven by jealousy that had gnawed at them, he confessed - overwhelmed by if he agreed to it, which could bring it back. Never again insisted and spoke of Edinburgh and he ..., squeezed his eyes shut tightly, to re-submit them to the screams of women who like a little girl with a toy hopped around a car. Shuffled closer.
"Ohhh, you," ran his hand over the polished metal-plated my warrior, I thought she would never see, are the same as when I left. I've missed you so much. Carlos I has been well cared little boy does not it? - Turned to her husband. Do you remember him? Is my car.
nodded declined to see how something else was added to the list that separated him.
The hours passed like minutes and unwittingly found themselves embroiled in dusk the leaden sky covering Scotland. Liana was aware that his time on his beloved city was almost empty. Aldair looked that deep in thought walking by his side. I wanted to hug him, tell him when he appreciated the gift so magnificent that he had done that forever atesoraría inside one of their most valuable assets, so why not?
"Thank you" she whispered excitedly linked in her waist. You've made me very happy.
"Anything to bring joy Your gaze confirmed closer to him.
"But yours is very off why is that?
"Never mind watching askance replied," continue.
Liana was silent, but on his return would not stop until pry the truth. \u0026lt;\u0026lt;The tiger fall under the power of gatita>> thought holding back the urge to purr.
It was dark when they arrived at Calton Hill, the lighting so profuse in the streets near where the darkness disappeared took full possession, but despite the clouds hid the moon behind her thick coat, preventing the silvery brightness to guide them among the stones, his hand caught between the iron fist resolutely took up the marble top.
had reached base when he asked her to let her catch her breath, dizziness he felt worse after climbing the steep slopes. When turned loose once more to the city, the landscape at that hour had nothing to do with the dawn, light blue and yellow made it look almost magical monuments, red trails of headlights were lost by the now quiet streets and squares, stared at the Castle that stood like a colossus guarding the village that was asleep gradually. With a last look mentally said goodbye to his beloved Edinburgh may never saw him again, but really did not care too much. Taking air to control the emotion that gripped her throat Aldair turned to the watching in silence, frowned at the expression on his face, had so much grief in those green orbs.
Aldair and had no doubt he regretted having taken that trip, but at the same time he relieved to know that in his hands was that the woman he loved and would love to always be happy. Binding within him all the anguish and bitterness that filled him decided it was time to talk.
"Come sit down a moment," said one of the nearby graves, we should talk.
She obeyed his order a bit confusing.
-Aldair, what happens? She asked, sensing that something was wrong when he realized his grim expression.
"I decided to go back-ruled only going to nothing," it's better if you stay here.
- What did you say? , Was incorporated as a spring.
"It's better for both," said lying to yourself, maybe it was for her but for him would be his death sentence.
"That's why you brought me here," said torn inside, "to abandon", blinking nervously, trying in vain to keep the tears at bay faced him, "I got tired of my eh ?, I no longer love.
-No God of course not, seized his shoulders tightly, "I love you more than life, more than anything ..." Her voice broke when he saw her mourn-but you seem so unhappy with me.

"I'm happy with you," said clinging to him he held his arms loose, "you must understand and put yourself in my position, I did not dream of going back to see this, walk around the place that I saw grow.
"No need to lie, Mais, after a few seconds of silence went on, here are things that you're used to and I can never brindaré.
-hypothesis will not lie-sticking nails into the shoulder blades, "by what more you want to believe me, I can not imagine my life without you, take me or kill me, but do not let me.

Have not you noticed that my home are you?
