The woman continued to sit, sometimes talking to someone on the phone, and sometimes just tapping at the phone screen. I went down to the first floor and went up to the third twenty times, and she didn't move even ten centimetres from her place.

"It can take a lot of time," I said calmly.

"Okay," she took her eyes off the phone for a moment and nodded, and then again continued to deal with her "important" affairs.

"Zlata?" Said someone's voice.

I didn't even have time to understand, as this woman was already hugging Danylo. They are hardly related, as I might have thought before.

"I was missing you," she says quietly, but loud enough for me to hear.

"Me too, babe," and he kisses her on the lips.

He kisses her on the lips. What?

No, he doesn't just kiss, it’s as if he’s trying to suck her whole soul. Oh, and ugliness.

"I finished earlier today, so now I will change my clothes, and we will go for a walk," Danylo smiles at her.

Now I notice that he is really tall. The woman barely touches his chest, but that's the least of the things that surprise me right now.

I follow him.

"How old is she? " I close the door behind me when I go inside.

Danylo turns to me, he has already managed to take off his T-shirt and remain in only pants.

It's normal that in the last week of our acquaintance, we have already seen each other naked a million times.

"Does it matter?"

Shit. And why am I even asking?

"I'm just wondering."

"Thirty-two."

"And your parents don't mind?"

"You know, Amelia, in this life not everything is done with the parents' permission," he comes close to me, reaching for the handle, thereby touching my skin.

"But she is older than you," I pause, "by ten years," and I almost shout these words when I realise.

"I noticed," he winks at me, "just don't be too jealous, darling, otherwise I'll think that you're in love with me," he finally opens the door and leaves.

He is definitely out of his mind.

"Ami," someone lifts my head up, "look at me." I close my eyes.

"Ami, when will you stop doing it?

I try to open my eyes, but close them again.

"Do you understand that you are killing yourself?" Sebastian's voice started to bore me lately.
