A few hours passed before Ithos opened his eyes. Half-closed he rubbed them with his fists leaving a long yawn escape his mouth. He stood up and went to the bathroom. The cool water filled his hands. Every hard splashing on his face drove him out from the numbness of sleep. It was still hot and this was like a gift. So he washed his face a little more.<br/><br/>After a while he was ready. He descended the stairs to reach the lower floor. There he heard the soft sound of the kitten's little bell as she came beside him. He sat on the floor and let her rub on his had for a while petting her at the same time. "Hey kitty! where is our friend Ana?" he said smiling as he heard a light meawing from the cat.<br/><br/>Standing up, Ithos noticed the little note with the pen beside it. The letters where artistic and curvy joining each other with impalpable little lines. His hand touched the note. Almost caressing it. It felt as if he caressed her. But as long as he realized ho stupid that looked he snapped out.<br/><br/>"Ok. Now to get to the Art Gallery" he spoke in a low voice almost like saying his thought to himself.<br/><br/>It was a small town so finding the gallery wasn't that difficult. After a few minutes he was standing outside the gallery's gates. He walked in with fast steps, almost striding. But as long as he reached the interiors he found himslef walking slowly, noticing every painting, statue and other works of art in the building. It was a beaytiful place to spend time and moreover work in it.<span style="font-style: italic">Ah, Ana is a lucky girl"</span>he thought as he turned his head around gazing at the excibitions and looking for Anahita at the same time.
