As Lily started to climb the steps, he pulled her back. Letting out a cry, she fell into his arms then laughed. Nathan held Lily in his arms and laughed as his left shoe began to slide down his foot, dangling above the ground. Leaning towards him, Nathan kissed him, thinking he would never tire of her lips or her embrace. Kissing him back as gently as he was, she began to nibble on his lip. She was still lost, trying to speak, she pushed him away slightly. “I want you to come upstairs,” she said almost clearly. "I understand," Nathan said, trying not to sigh. "I know you do," she said a little less clearly since she was no longer holding him back and continued to kiss him again.

"That faggot embarrassed me," Rick said, looking at the knife in Lily's hand, then at her. “The cops are looking for you Rick, why are you here?” "For you, Lily...for us, I have to keep you away from him," he said, trying to be genuine, walking slowly around the breakfast bar. Lily bit her lip and shook her head, trying. to hold back tears. “You beat me, Rick,” she reminded him. “I didn’t mean it,” he said sheepishly. “What time, the first or the fiftieth?” » she asked as if to remind herself.
