My father works there as a wildlife biologist, he’ll take us with him when we get there. In the end, I decided with the most practical question I needed. It was impossible to choose: I wanted to know pretty much everything. Is there anything you want to know first?” “So,” he said, while taking the motorway, “now I can tell you everything. After a small breakfast together, we finally got into his car. I had put myself through something that would last for the rest of my life, but I had no clue whether it was good or bad.Ĭhris announced me the day with a simple message: “Saturday, at 7 AM, in front of my door. I even ate more snacks than I was used to. When I was supposed to sleep, I instead found myself looking at the small hint of artificial light that entered through my dorm’s window. That week, the new year began, but it turned out I couldn’t concentrate on anything at all: every thought of mine was directed to the weekend. I spent the following days in an amplified version of the mix of excitement and scare that had accompained me through the summer. When we’re there, I’ll be able to tell you everything.” Therefore, keep yourself available next weekend. “Only one,” he admitted, “now that you know I am involved with dragons, I have to involve you too, and I can’t let you refuse it. “Oh.what did they say? Is there any problem?” “I have talked about you with my family.” “What is?” I said, unable to hold a tremble of worry. “Now that we’re alone, Linda, there’s something I need to tell you.” We didn’t do anything else that day, as he said he was too tired and needed to lie in his bed but before opening his own door and kissing goodbye, he spoke again.

Through every sentence of his, though I could perceive all the details he was forced to omit, because of the fact we were talking in public. We kept chatting during the whole trip back to our campus, mostly about his summer in Wales, which was way more interesting than mine.

You know, just walks downtown, visiting family…”

He did the same, passing his gentle hand through my hair. As he came out into the main hall, I trapped him into a tight hug. I was there at the airport when he finally returned. It was unbearable to have to wait so long for discovering the truth. Other times, instead, my imagination took me towards incredible journeys with my mind, where I, together with my mate, battled together against an army of creatures for the salvation of Earth… How could there actually be dragons? Was he tricking me into something else? During these moments, I would often find myself walking in circle, sweating coldly for my safety. Was I really going to face creatures as formidable as a dragon is in your usual fantasy story? Was I going to risk my life? Sometimes, instead, I realized there had to be a more rational explanation.

Sometimes, instead, I felt scared for what was waiting for me. Sometimes, I begged for feeling his mouth against mine again, and wondering if next time we would push ourselves further. I spent my whole summer break walking down the town where my college was, thinking of him and daydreaming about dragons. Besides, I still hadn’t gotten to know what it really was about. The implausibility of dragons made it a safe shield. “Aren’t you afraid I may reveal.well, you-know-what? Even accidentally?” I told him some days before, while walking around the campus with our hands together. I was unable to join, as it required an amount of money I still didn’t have. When the semester ended, after we passed our fireflies project with a decent score, he left to Wales for summer break.
