BRAVE

The woman just wanted guilt to stop invading her.

His shocked face made her sweat. She had to control the situation.

She, determined, held her gaze to the one who questioned her; they were face to face.

She answered the questions calmly.

Under the table, her husband took her hand. A tear ran down her cheek.

The night before, the beloved couple enjoyed their anniversary, their moments, their world, happiness.

On the way home, a kiss.

She, standing on the sidewalk, saw her love reverse. And pran! He ran over the neighbor.

Tormented, she paced from side to side, without saying a word, she was crying.

Her husband hugged her. She was freezing.

—Ma´am, wait no more, tell us what you were doing last night before the tragedy.

—I went out to celebrate the first ten years with my beloved.

Perplexed, her husband released her hand and left the room.
