She sniffled a bit, but managed to keep them back.<br/><br/>“Anico…what about your family, are you married?  Her tone changed to more concerned one, but she got carried away, not waiting for the answer.<br/><br/>“Rob, he’s my husband but we are not married yet, he’ll be really worried by now, I was on my way to meet him when this happened, we really love each other, we really do but - ”<br/><br/>Her voice betrayed the lie again, if she was being really honest, but she wasn’t.<br/><br/>“Oh Anico I’m so sorry I suppose I didn’t give you a chance to answer did I, it’s the stress I think”, she shrugged her shoulders, “I’m not normally this…rude, how are you dealing with things?” She smiled at the solder allowing herself a deep sigh, trying to relax a bit.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
