She slowly moved his hand slipped off the arm of his chair, as if to simulate a small faint of will, a cross between the relaxation and discomfort. He had picked up quell'insignificante movement without turning his eyes from view from the front, easily imagine the mood which pervaded and meaning that could take that stubborn to remain silent. The terrace was cool in the late evening of August after a torrid afternoons of the many, and the dim lights around the wicker chairs left the feeling of a very slow navigation in the night sky, embellished a myriad of stars.
He lit one of his cigarettes, he added an ice cube into the glass, then got up from his seat, only artifact to support with your forearms on the railing of wrought iron. The hill in front, with his dark profile barely visible, seemed to contain liquid as the swarm is not far from city lights, almost total absence of traffic noise, which until then failed to arrive, seemed a sort of suspension time.
He turned to her, calmly, without a reason, and smiled, avoiding looking at her, but keeping his eyes on the glass that still held in sua mano. Si sarebbe atteso una domanda, una parola che gli desse la possibilità di spiegare il motivo per cui stava ridendo, ma lei restò immobile, senza dire niente, nella medesima posizione. “Finisco la mia sigaretta e poi rientro”, disse allora lui appoggiando il bicchiere ormai vuoto sul basso tavolo che aveva di fronte. “Ho voglia di fare una doccia e andarmene a letto a leggere un libro”.
Le sue parole gli parvero quasi una battuta di un vecchio film che aveva visto da poco, e la sua voce si spense rapidamente contro la notte che adesso aveva preso quasi ad opprimere con la sua oscurità. Spense la sua sigaretta schiacciandola nel grosso posacenere in vetro, dette un’occhiata sfuggente verso di lei who continued to stand still and look into space, then said: "I go," and went back.
was only when he had already prepared the robe and was about to go under the shower that took him a question: so he came back, now with his shirt unbuttoned, tan chest obvious, do those who have just enjoyed a beautiful day. Appeared at the door of the terrace, he saw that she was still in the same position, and so he said: "Are you okay, right?" But did not receive any response.
