[MINE]

Two days later

Our romantic honeymoon in that charming village has come to an end. We have returned to Toledo and with it to this new routine to which we are still finding it hard to get used to, especially him. This life as fugitives has led us to change our whole lifestyle. We are definitely not used to all this “tranquillity”, so to speak, but we both know what we have to go through if we want to be together. What we don’t know is how long we will be in these circumstances?

The kitchen window overlooking the garden lets me see him working on a piece of furniture he is making for the sheer joy of it, and I can see that even though we have the freedom to love each other in this situation, we are still prisoners of the secret that is our identity. I love that he has considered my advice to start a business with the talent he has for carpentry and blacksmithing, but I can’t help but wonder if that’s what he wants.

There are times when I get the feeling that he’s not completely happy, it’s just that when he was under his father’s orders, Izan had to do everything he asked of him even if it was something he didn’t agree with, and now that we’re together, he’s doing what this lifestyle allows him to do. I know all too well his dreams, that great longing to have become a renowned writer or even an acclaimed photographer, but his father has clearly not supported him in these things.

I finish drying the last plate, put it away and quickly go to our room to get my bag. Once I have everything, I go out to the garden and approach him, “Hi,” I say, taking him by surprise.

-Beautiful, are you going out? – He asks when he sees me with my bag and sunglasses on.

I’m going to the market, I need some things for tonight’s dinner” I explain and I approach him to give him a tender k**s “You’re soaking wet” I complain between laughs and he smiles.

-Normally you don’t complain about this,” he jokes and puts his arm around my waist to hold me close to him.

-Baby! – I g***n with laughter as he k****s me again and then releases me.

-Take care of yourself, okay? – He asks and I nod.

-I assure him and give him one last k**s and then pull away from him and walk to the car.

I drive through the streets and think of everything he has done for me… for us, for our son and all I want is to see him happy. I need to give him back at least a little bit of everything he does for us. Once I get to the centre, I park the car near the shop and get out and then walk the few metres. Upon entering the shop, I ask one of the employees for help and explain exactly what I am looking for. He kindly shows me the products and once I have made up my mind, I pay for them and leave the shop. While shopping for dinner was an excuse, I really need a couple of ingredients to prepare tonight’s meal. I go to the small market down the street, look for what I need, and once I have everything, I leave and go back to the car.

When I get home, I don’t see my husband in the garden or in the living room. I close the door behind me, I leave the food stuff in the kitchen, and then I go to our room, and to my surprise there he is finishing dressing after having showered -I’m glad you’ve arrived, my beauty- he tells me and suddenly his gaze fixes on the bag I’m carrying in my hand -And that, have you gone to buy clothes or things for the baby? – He asks me smiling and I deny.

-No… I went to buy something for you,” I explain and I can see the surprise on his face.

-Oh yeah? May I ask what? – He asks amused and I nod.

-I’d better give it to you and you can see it, do you think? – I suggest and once he has his shirt on, I give him the bag.

I watch him sitting on the edge of the bed opening his present and when he takes the box out of the laptop he stares at me, “I don’t understand…” he says and smiles.

-I ask him and he immediately takes out the notebook, the professional pens and the box with the camera. “So that you can start with your dreams of being a photographer and writer, now you have time to do it” I explain and the way he looks at me right now is one of the most beautiful he has ever looked at me.

Immediately he stands up and approaches me to hug me with all his strength -Thank you my love, it’s one of the best gifts I’ve ever been given… obviously after our son- He clarifies making me laugh.

-I just want you to be happy, I know how much you have sacrificed for the three of us to be here… I need you to be able to do some of everything you love so much” I explain.

-Will you be my muse and my model? – He looks me in the eyes and smiles.

-No problem for me…” I murmur and he k****s me again.

-I love you, thank you for thinking about me and giving me these gifts… it means a lot to me,” he lets me know and this is exactly what I wanted, to see him happy like this and help him to fulfill his dreams somehow.
