— Why did you decide to come back?.. Because of your postpartum depression?
— The climate of London didn’t do me any good, — I smile as I walk away from the answer.
— Seriously?! — Arina rolls her eyes, — I can hardly believe it, but I’m still wildly happy!

— The money is also in the city. You knew?…
— What was inside my lungs becomes a tight bubble in my throat. I turn to face her and press my lower back to the stone countertop.
— Isn’t he in Kislovodsk?
— No, he returned back in the autumn. Alya said they gave him a job in the boxing federation.
— And haven’t they broken up with Alya?..
Arina, playing with her eyebrows, tilts her head.
— They’re together again.
Trying to fight off dizziness, I close my eyes and I can literally see what ruins our lives will become when the truth comes out.
