Chapter 3 Episode 3

He really liked his grandmother's style

"Feminine and delicate" was how Beatriz had named her own style and Catherine could not agree more than that.

She took her grandmother's hands in hers as they both sat back down. "I love you mom," I murmur with a smile.

She saw a sparkle pass through her grandmother's eyes and knew that soon they would both be a sea of ​​tears and that they would comfort each other.

- Oh my girl - Her grandmother hugged her against her chest - I love you more

end of flashback

Catherine blinked as she realized that a tear had rolled down her cheek as she remembered that day.

Sometimes it was the same memories that prevented him from moving forward, they were just too much and all beautiful

I turn off the stove, pass the water through a strainer so that the leaves with the liquid do not go into the ceramic cup and when he got his tea in his hands he went to the living room, opened the sliding window curtains that gave at the front of the house, sat on the floral cabinet and whilehe drank his tea little by little he dedicated himself to watching the rain fall

"I need to move on" she said to herself

After a long time lost in her thoughts and with the downpour still falling, she had already finished her tea and had made a decision that had her standing up in a jump and at the same time very nervous.

-A trip -He said at the same time he went to his room, took the envelope with its contents as well as his laptop and returned to the living room

He spent thirty minutes looking for sites on the internet to go visit, in the end, doing the math, his gaze landed on the last results he had searched for on google and he felt his heart hammer hard in his chest.

Italy

As a young man he always wanted to travel to Europe, visit Italy and especially Catherine, the country from which his name came, however he almost did not get the money to a destination as far away as Athens, so he opted for Florence

He searched for flights for almost an hour and kept his accounts up to date.

Leaving all the notes in order, he walked away from his computer and looked at everything around him, he couldn't believe what he was about to do, in almost a year he hadn't left his grandmother's house and now he was about to travel abroad. of the country for almost eleven hours to a country that I did not know in theabsolute

She was excited at the same time as terrified of what she was going to do, however a look at everything around her convinced her

She was not a risky woman and she could almost hear her grandmother's laugh if she knew everything, at the same time that she was sure that she would encourage her to do it, and if she were, the two of them would probably travel

She bought the plane ticket online and then went to the bathroom to take a shower, she didn't stay for more than fifteen minutes and then came out with a towel wrapped around her torso, despite being alone at home she didn't dare to be naked, not even in her apartment, she was very shy when her bodyIt was about, already in her room, she took on blue jeans like the sky and a white blouse, she put on high beige leather boots and tied her hair in a ponytail, she looked at herself in the full-length mirror at the door of her window and the girl who returned the look was not seennot at all sure what i was doing

The fear was doing everything possible to try to sneak inside her but even so she stood her ground and searched among her things for a travel suitcase, she placed it on the mess that was her bed and began to pack some clothes inside, finishing folding and closing the suitcase went in searchFrom her bag and her passport, she took her phone and after making a few calls to the lawyer and the bank, she already had the available balance of the inheritance in her account and she knew that she could buy the local currency or dollars when she was at the Florence airport, I leave the suitcase and the rest of his things inthe living room, as there was still plenty of time and the rain had not completely stopped, tidied up the house a bit and Catherine smiled slightly when the memory of her grandmother sweeping and grumbling that "houses are swept every day, just look at all this dustpan crazy" and "If that's how thechores yielded the money already was rich "

I order his room and leave it as if he had never been through a depression of almost a year and I sweep a little, turn off the gas and secure the windows and doors, when he went downstairs he noticed a painting of his grandmother hanging on the wall, she was also in the photo, it was from two years ago in herbirthday, I had not invited friends or anything so it had only been the two of them that day

It was not bad, to tell the truth I really enjoy being in the company of Beatriz, I value each and every one of her moments of life and in those that I was with her

She looked in the mirror approving the outfit she had chosen and tried to reconsider herself and still she couldn't.

She didn't know what the hell possessed her to be doing all this but she knew in her heart that it would be a great experience.

I just hoped I didn't end up regretting it later.

A little look outside and he knew that it was beginning to clear and that the sun was beginning to hide a little, he ordered a taxi and waited with the door open for almost ten minutes

Five minutes later the taxi arrived and Catherine dragged her suitcase out of the house and before closing the front door she took her birthday photo with her grandmother and placed it under her arm before finishing closing and sliding into the passenger seat.

"Good afternoon," Catherine greeted, closing the door.

"Hello Miss" The man started to go out onto the road while Catherine took one last look at the house feeling a lump in her throat, she wouldn't be out for long, she hadn't left yet and she already missed her

"Where am I taking her?"

"To the airport please," Catherine replied.

Lost sight of the house when they were on the road

the driver nodded

She looked down at the painting in her hands and couldn't help but smile and nodded to herself.

"We're leaving," she said, looking at her grandmother's photo and leaving a small kiss on the glass frame.
