Chapter 1
I woke up right after feeling a brightness on my face. I had no knowledge of my whereabouts, and with my eyelids feeling heavy and just halfway open, I had the sensation of being in movement. Was that just a dream?

Eclipse da vida
Cold shivers went up and down my body, making it frozen and paralyzed. I could not move a single muscle. Slowly my eyes began to scan the place and I realize I was standing inside a cabin that shook in a continuous motion. Scared, I looked around and saw a door. Struggling hard, I stood up and went towards this door and pulled it open. I was standing up, staring at a narrow corridor and naked of understanding. I just stood there for a couple of minutes, leaning on the wall, still terrified with what was happening. A new reality was in front of me and only then I could understand I was really inside a moving train. Where was it going to? There was a door at the end of the aisle and I walked towards that door wondering if some explanation could be found there. However, before I could reach it, the door opened and I was able to see a female silhouette, which walked past the door and towards me. The translucent dress and the light that was shining from behind her made it Cesar Rabello

all look like a dream. That was the most feminine being I had ever seen. I stood motionless and when she stopped right in front of me I stood still, just staring at her. I saw her hand reach my face and I felt her touch. Still in ecstasy with all of that, I heard her soft and calm voice for the first time: - Shall we go back to the cabin? I did not know where I was. I did not know what I should do and didn’g know if I should stay or just leave. I also had no idea who that lady was. Nonetheless, I answered: − Where are we going to? She looked back at me and said: − To where we have to go. I did not have control over my body and I was completely hypnotized, so I walked while leaning onto her. Walking slowly, we entered the cabin and sat next to each other. I looked at her and I felt some unexplainable calmness. Through the window I noticed the overcast weather. The 14

snow whitened trees formed images that repeated as we moved on. With that vision and the motion of the train, I fell asleep next to her. A short while later I woke up with someone shaking my body and I heard her voice once again: − Wake up! − Where are we? I don’t understand anything. Who are you and what are we doing here? − I don’t know anything about that either. I only remember you walking on the aisle of the train. When I saw you I lost track of who I was and just felt like I really had to help you out and that I simply had to be with you. And I did just that, until I fell asleep right next to you. That is the last I can remember. − I also felt exactly the same. Somehow your presence already existed in my life, but I really don’t know how that can be possible. At that moment, for whatever reason, I felt that my past did not belong to me Cesar Rabello

anymore and that something had changed. Had my memories all been stolen? I did not know, but that was of no importance anymore. The woman with the blond hair, soft skin and peaceful eyes that was sitting by my side mesmerized me in such a way that I just needed to stay close to her. I heard footsteps down the aisle and instinctively looked towards where they were coming from. I saw a man in uniform passing through the glass of the cabin door. I stood up, opened the door and walked towards him. I gathered all my courage and said: - Please, wait! He replied: − Yes, sir. − Where are we heading to? − Venice. said: hour. 16
And he grabbed a pocketwatch and − We shall be arriving in about an

I returned to the cabin and as soon as I saw the lady, I complained: − What does he mean? Are we going to Venice? − So this is all true? I’ve dreamt with everything that is happening and this is one of the scenes off of my dreams! − That means you have the answers! All you have to do is remember your dream and you shall know whatever is going to happen to us. − As a matter of fact, from the moment I first saw you on the aisle until now, it’s all the same from the dream. But I can’t seem to remember what happens next... Maybe it just has to be this way... − What is going on? − Maybe you should better calm down. There must be a reason why this is happening and at the right time it will all become clear. Just accept it! − Accept what?
Cesar Rabello

− Whatever is happening to us. Ask no more questions and live for the moment. You have nothing to lose. I took a deep breath after her explanation. I sat down next to her trying to figure out what in the world was taking place. I was still quite confused and did the best I could to try to accept the moment and quit resisting. I felt the train had started to slow down a bit. I looked at the window once again and saw the ocean. The train was over a bridge and I could see a town by the water. I turned to her and calmly said: − We’re arriving. This scenery is just beautiful! − You’re right. We are arriving at our destination. Everything is just like it was in my dream. − Should I be worried? − I don’t think so. We should just wait and see what happens. We remained silent until the train came to a complete stop. Right after 18
Eclipse da vida
standing up, I held her hand and walked out, as if I had any knowledge of where to go. Once we got off the train we kept on walking down the platform as if we needed each other. Holding her hand was something really captivating and passionate. It gave me a sense of tranquility that I had never felt before. It was as though we were living something magical, a state of contemplation of the moment that had been given to us. As we left the station, we kept on walking. The feelings were kind of mixed up as I walked: the passion, the fear of the unknown and that mystery that filled the air. I stopped walking for a moment and I closed my eyes hoping I would wake up, only to open them again and find that lady smiling back at me. − I know, I know: stop resisting. Let’s move on. − I am sure something has been given to us and we just have to live through it. Cesar Rabello

I took a look around and saw that wonderful city; the ocean, the boats, the people in motion. Everything seemed to fit perfectly. We crossed a bridge and continued to walk through the narrow streets of the city, with nowhere to go. I didn’t need to talk to her to be sure we had the same sensations. After a while, we got to a big canal. We were tired and decided to stop. I overlooked that canal and just gazed for a moment. I looked back, hoping to see her, only to find out she had disappeared from sight. A feeling of emptiness took over me. I got scared, turned to every direction and wound up finding a huge door. I got close to it wishing I could find that lady, after all, there was no other place to look for her. I was so scared I might lose her that my legs started to shake. I grabbed the door knob and pushed it. I felt a vibration and heard a noise, but had no idea what had caused such noise. Could it be my presence?
20
Eclipse da vida
A couple was at a table close by the door. They turned and looked at me. The woman was mysteriously beautiful and had a penetrating look in her eyes. The white skin and brown eyes went well the glasses she wore. It gave her a bookish look. The man was tall and had curly hair. He looked friendly with his thin face and pinkish skin. I walked in and saw her looking back at me. There was a line on the floor indicating the way I should follow. During every step of the way the noise and vibration got louder and stronger as the couple kept staring at me. I tried to disguise my fear as I passed by them and walked towards her. She wouldn’t move as if she was waiting for me. Maybe she, too, was surprised and distracted by that vibration. A little further ahead I realized we were inside a church, except there were no benches. There was an altar, though, but the area reserved for the benches was totally empty. There was some electronic equipment in the middle, with cables all

21
around and many speaker cabinets all over the church. I slowly walked towards her and held her hand once again. We walked by the equipment while the vibration and the noise kept getting louder and stronger. The fact that she was by my side once more made me feel confident again. Without saying a word we walked all around and left the premises while passing by the couple’s table. Their mysterious eyes kept on following us all the time. We felt relieved once the noise diminished and after leaving that place we walked a bit and stopped. Only then she started to talk: − Did you see that? − I did see understand a thing.

We looked back and noticed the couple walking in our direction. Once they got really close, the man said: − We need to talk to you!
22

We felt suspicious and walked away rather rapidly, only to find out they were following us. The woman got even closer and said: − We need to talk to you. Please, wait a minute. I stopped walking abruptly and said: − What is it all about? − We need to explain a thing or two for you. Have you felt what happened inside of that place? − Of course we felt that. What on Earth was that? − That church channels energy and we study the energy of the people. We do this job from time to time, but we have never observed an energy higher than that of yours. Could we go somewhere so that we can have some coffee and maybe talk a little more about it? I was still suspicious and rather scared. My mind kept telling me I didn’t even know what I was supposed to be doing

23
in that place. At the same time, I thought to myself: why not? I looked at her and she smiled back at me. I finally gave in to what was happening as she kept on talking to the couple, as if she was answering on my behalf. − Yes, we can go somewhere. Is there a place you’d recommend? We have no idea where to go and we have no idea why we are here either. In fact, it is as if we are inside a dream right now and we feel like déjà vu. I resolved to express myself. Quite timidly, though: − You know what? The only thing I am sure about is that I woke up paralyzed inside a moving train. The couple didn’t seem surprised with my remarks and the man just talked back: − Let us keep on walking. There is a cafe right around the corner and then we can talk.
24
Eclipse da vida
While walking towards the cafe, I whispered to her: − What’s happening to us? I’m so confused... − Just relax. Sooner or later we shall find the answers and maybe some of these answers will be found in this conversation with them. We got to the cafe and there were tables set on the sidewalk. But I couldn’t think about anything else, except the fact that I had woken up inside that train. I had no answers and no recollection of past memories. Curiously though, I sensed that somehow it was all going to fit in and work out well and that to live through that was the right thing to do. She interrupted my wandering: − Again? Thinking? She felt so secure and gave me the sensation that I was the only one not totally aware of what was going on. The man grabbed a welcomed us to have a seat. Cesar Rabello

I am Natali and this is Ricardo. It is a pleasure to meet you guys. What are your names? Well, I am Eduardo and she is… Only then I came to my senses and realized I didn’t know her name. I looked at her, kind of awkwardly, and asked: − What is your name? − Sofie. Of the thousands of names that filled my thoughts for the split second before her answer, I couldn’t think of a better name. No other name could go so well with her. I smiled, while admiring her. Ricardo commented: − It is a beautiful name. It means wisdom and in a way, that’s what we would like to talk about. Natali explained:
26
Eclipse da vida
− We are here at the right time and for a reason. As we study the energy, we attract more and more energy. And if you are here, that’s because you must have attracted it somehow. I listened but couldn’t talk back. I couldn’t remember anything about the life I had before being in that train. I didn’t know if I was a man of faith or an atheist. I realized I was given that moment and that could be liberating instead of a moment of anguish. Sofie looked at me once again as if speaking on my behalf and said: − I also don’t remember most of what happened before. However, I recall dreaming about it all and I feel like déjà vu. Ricardo looked at me, as if waiting for an answer and I had to confess: − I don’t remember anything. At first I was afraid, but now I’m really curious. I still want to know what happened in that church and whether that is dangerous. Natali kind of smiled and said: − Danger? Only if you want it to be that way! You energy is so vibrating. Cesar Rabello
27
I doubted about this unknown and insane energy. I tried recalling memories from my life, for I had no clue who I really was, but there was nothing there. I realized everyone was expecting an answer from me and without giving it much thought, I said: − I am full of energy, but free of memories. I would gladly change one for the other just to feel safer here. Can I use my energy to find out about my past and my future? Sofie interrupted me in a rather sweet manner. − Don’t you worry about the past or the future. One is gone and the other will find a way. Natali ammended: − Release yourself in the present. Your energy shall guide you to whatever has to be. I took a look at that city surrounded by water and thought of floating. Where would these waters take me if I released myself? I was waiting for answers and had more questions by the minute. At the same 28
Eclipse da vida
time I felt sort of a wave inside my body. A kind of strong sensation that made me hold on so that it wouldn’t take me away. I felt that if I had let go, I would have simply floated away. That was when Ricardo said: − Eduardo, I have heard about a study group that is so ancient that the women with special sensitivity were called witches. People who studied energy or anything related to that and outside the catholic Faith were excommunicated. Somehow that is one of the reasons why we are here. The look on my face probably gave away the confusion inside my mind as he kept on explaining: − Ten years ago I met a friend in a study group and became fascinated about it. I haven’t stopped studying ever since. The very first time was in Milan, when I met Marcelo. He took me to a place where I found people studying at a table. There were many of them, all silent. On that day, during a break, they told me I was there for a reason and that I would be the person Cesar Rabello
29
that would find you. They also told me I would figure out how to do it, because it was just inevitable. I was confused, but kept on studying until I got to this level of sensitivity and could meet people that would feel the same thing I feel right now. − Does that have anything to do with that church? − The temple we were in is just to capture the energy of the people who happen to be there. It is part of our study, so that we can identify the people who have potential to connect. I just knew there was a person that was expected and that had been lost and looking for answers. They also said this person would be locked to thoughts and anguish that had been taken control of his mind with preoccupations and the fear of the unknown, which left no room for the sensitivity. − Ricardo, I feel that there hasn’t been a day in my life that I felt something I couldn’t really understand, and this is what is happening to me right now. I can’t understand any of this, but I know I never let myself free to live my life because I

always interrupted its flow just to try and figure everything out. I thought I was going to keep on talking when I heard Sofie’s voice. She sounded relieved: − That’s it, my love... Those words, “my love”, touched me so deeply it left me speechless for a moment. The doubts gave way to a magnificent feeling of well-being. I looked deeply inside her eyes and saw an ocean of possibilities for my life. I kind of disguised my sigh and continued my conversation with Ricardo: − How can you be sure this person you’ve been looking for is really me? − When you walked through that door in the church I just felt the vibration in my body and remembered exactly what I had been told in the studies: I would just know! Now we need to talk to the people that told me this was supposed to happen. Uneasy, I asked him: Cesar Rabello
31
− Where? along?
− In Milan. Can the two of you come
− I’m not really sure. I’d rather talk to Sofie alone. Natali stood up and looked at me over her glasses. She told me: − I know that from now on you’ll never be the same again. Ricardo insisted I should go, but Natali concluded: − They just won’t stop looking for us. There has been a change and it follows the energy. Whatever must happen, will happen. It is all up to them. Not as sure as Natali, Ricardo replied: − Please, look for introduce you to my friends.

I took a leave saying I’d need some time to think. Sofie and I went away in silence, strolling by the great canal in Venice. We found a sandwich parlor on the 32
Eclipse da vida
way, near the Central Station, and ordered something. As soon as the order was served I gathered up my courage and broke the silence: − Is your name really Sofie? You’ve been so quiet... what happened? − Yes, my name is really Sofie and everything is fine. I’m just a bit tired. I was about to say the same when I put my hand in my jacket’s pocket and felt a piece of paper. It was actually two train tickets. After reading them and checking out the clock I just said: − We just have an hour before boarding to Milan. − What do you mean? tickets.
− This is what is written in these
− We won’t have enough time to talk to Ricardo and Natali again. We will just be able to grab a bite to eat before heading to the station. The coincidences should guide Cesar Rabello
33
us from now on. We have learned that from them, don’t you think? − Yes, I do. Let’s go. We finished our meal quite quickly and headed out to the station, afraid we could miss the train. As soon as we got to the station, next to the boarding platform, Sofie whispered softly: − There are two man near that pillar, staring at us. − Where? − Right over there, but don’t look now and don’t stare at them. I don’t want them to know we are aware of them. They freak me out. − I’ve seen them. Now let’s board another wagon and see if they follow suit. We boarded the wrong wagon and started walking inside the train, through the aisle and checked the window to see if they were still there but they had vanished. Sofie was still suspicious of that situation. 34
Eclipse da vida
− Do you think they got on the train? − I don’t know... let’s walk through the train and take a look. − That’s weird. I think I saw them back at the cafe, when we were chatting with Natali and Ricardo. We walked all through the train, but were unable to see them again. − Sofie, what did you feel when you saw them? − Anguish and sort of a pressure on my chest, as if they were sucking out my energy. It was very strange because I felt the same thing twice after seeing them. well?
− So you felt that on the first time as
− Yes, even though it was not as strong as the first time. I didn’t mention that because I thought it was unimportant. Only when we stumbled upon them at the station I realized it had something to do with us.
Cesar Rabello
35
− Whatever it was, it is over now and they are not on this train. Calm down and let us get some rest before we get to Milan. We looked at each other and I felt like we had already lived our entire lives together. I couldn’t understand, but I felt a great force attracting us to wherever we had to go. It all stemmed from our sensations and intuition, just like a great inexplicable force. We were exhausted as we leaned on each other and fell asleep in the train cabin.

Chapter 2
As soon as I opened my eyes I saw a brightness coming in through the window again. Before I could figure out whether it was sunrise or sunset, I was afraid to turn around and not see Sofie again.
Cesar Rabello
37
Luckily for me, she was right by me, still asleep. She quickly woke up and asked me if we were there yet. When the train came to a halt we got off and started walking, clueless of where we should go. So I asked her if she had any idea of where to go. − I have absolutely no idea, but we should just keep walking. She walked in a confident way, which made me feel more secure. However, she got closer to me and said, panting: − Look, Eduardo, there they are again! Those men, standing by the exit door. − You’re right. I pulled her towards me and we walked out the station through a side door, in order to go unnoticed. Sofie was really scared, so I put her against the wall and said: − Just calm down. We are leaving through a side door. − So they were on the train? 38
Eclipse da vida
− They sure were. We walked out and head to the street and saw a cab. − Sofie, let’s get that taxi cab. I think I know where we should go. We ran towards the taxi and as soon as we got in I told the driver: − Piazza Duomo, please. For the very first time Sofie seemed insecure: to go?
− How do you know where we have
− I don’t really know. That was the first thing that came to my mind. − Do you think they saw us? − I don’t think so. We left quickly and through the side door. again.
− I hope we won’t see them ever

Inside the taxi and looking out I had the very same sensation that something amazing was about to take place, just like I had felt in Venice. It was a mix of anxiety and fear. I felt I lacked control while wanting to take charge and get somewhere. I looked to the other side and saw that beautiful woman that - just like myself - did not know where she had come from. I don’t really know why, but I felt responsible for her. We didn’t talk until we got to our destination. We walked down the road towards the entrance of a majestic church. We kind of looked at each other when we saw how big it was. There was a smile on our faces as if something good had been waiting for us inside. As we walked in I felt myself shaking, and asked: − Are you feeling this? − Yes! And I got goosebumps! I think we should sit. You know, it is all just like my dream. But the curious thing is that I only seem to remember the details of my dream after we reach the places. There just no way of knowing anything in advance.
40
Eclipse da vida
We sat and my eyes scanned the immensity of that place. Each and every detail was absolutely unique. That feeling took over my body as I felt like floating, as if the waves came and went while I got the feeling of being in various places at the same time. My mind was full of wonderful sensations. I felt my energy balanced with that environment and then the vibrations began diminishing slowly at the same time I felt I was merging myself with all that energy around me and we became one. I felt complete and a thought crossed my mind: I wished everyone in the world could feel the greatness of that moment at least once in their lives. I looked at Sofie and she was paralyzed, her eyes were lost, but she had a smirk on her face. − Sofie, are you all right? − How could I not be all right in front of this wonderful house, so full of energy? − Did you feel that too? − Yes... and I still feel it inside of me. I dove in my own thoughts about the opportunity we had been given to be there Cesar Rabello

living that all, which was everything we ever needed to develop the sensations that would modify us all the time. I realized I was living something unprecedented and even though I could not remember my past, the present now seemed enough for me. Sofie turned around and looked straight at me as she held my face with both her hands. − Thank you for being here feeling this new world with me. I don’t know who you really are, but you are part of my life. I didn’t know what to say, so I just held that woman who not only had come into my life when I needed most but also had shown me there was a meaning in everything. Nothing else mattered because the love that took hold of my heart was real and it brought meaning to my life. On the bench of that church I started to say a prayer and I thanked everything that was happening. I felt a presence coming in my direction but I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was. I could feel it though, as it was approaching me by the church’s main aisle. However, the closer it 42
Eclipse da vida
got to me the more I felt an excruciating pain in my heart. I thought I was having a heart attack. − Sofie, please, get me out of here. Be quick! She helped me out as I couldn’t really move by myself, and she walked me out of the church. The pain began to go away as we walked out and then she asked me what was going on. − I felt an awkward force coming in my direction and the closer it got to me the stronger the pain in my chest was. − What was that? Everything was so wonderful, and I had never felt anything so good before. − I don’t know. I just felt this energy getting closer and the pain getting worse until it became unbearable. Thankfully, I feel much better now. − Maybe it was something physical, a condition you may have and that you don’t remember about? Don’t you want to go to the hospital to get yourself checked out? Cesar Rabello
43
− No, thanks. It’s over now. Really! Let’s try and find a place where we can sit. We walked around the church, found a restaurant, sat and ordered water. That was replenishing and I thought it was time to tell her what was on my mind: − We need to find ourselves a hotel. There’s one up ahead by that side street. − How would you know that? − I just know. Shall we go? And just around the corner we were able to see the hotel sign. As soon as we walked in the hotel, a man behind the front desk said: − Signore Eduardo! I was already getting worried. You went out and didn’t tell us anything. By the way, I made a reservation for the suite, just like you told me to. − Which suite did I want? − The best one in the hotel, sir. You wanted the best because you were to bring a very special person with you. 44
Eclipse da vida
Sofie laid her eyes on me, rather intrigued: − You knew? − No... I know as much as you do. The man introduced himself to Sofie: − My name is Pasquale. Welcome to our hotel, as we are honored to have you here. Could you fill out this form, please? Where is your luggage? Sofie was confused as she aswered: − Thank you, but I don’t have any luggage. Pasquale then looked at me and told me he was going to make sure my luggage would find its way to my suite. We walked in the elevator and as soon as we opened the door to the suite, I felt right at home. There was a bucket of ice, a bottle of champagne and flowers. Sofie also felt at home: − Are you really feeling all right?
Cesar Rabello
45
− Yes, I don’t feel anything anymore. − So why don’t you take yourself a shower? In the meantime I will go downstairs and buy some new clothes. I saw a store on our way in. I’ll be right back. She went out and I went to the shower. I was there for some time, still anesthetized by everything that had taken place. I put on my bathrobe and thought about the possibility of her never coming back. For a second I doubted she even existed. Then there was a knock on the door. It was a man bringing me my luggage. I did not have the guts to open it. Somehow, whatever was inside that piece of luggage could put an end to something that looked and felt like a dream. I might remember who I was if I found out about the contents of that luggage. And the only thing I was sure about was that I wanted to see Sofie again. I felt that everything that had happened until that moment was more important than my past. I placed the luggage in the middle of the room and sat in front of it, while I 46
Eclipse da vida
waited for Sofie to come back. I was anguished for more than an hour until a knock on the door saved me. It was Sofie and she had some shopping bags and a beautiful smile on her face. She said: − As I was coming back I was afraid you were not going to be here anymore. I can’t explain it, but I was scared I might not see you again. It is so good to see you here! She just dropped the shopping bags on the floor and held me so very tightly, I could feel her whole body against mine. The energy surrounding us made me feel she had always been my soulmate, but for some reason we had gone our separate ways. The only thing I could say was: − Don’t ever leave me again. I, too, was scared of the thought of not seeing you anymore and that all we’ve been living was just a dream. We kissed passionately. My body was shaking as if to show me I had pass the point of no return. I couldn’t waste a single second. I finally let her go and she went for a shower.
Cesar Rabello
47
As soon as she got out she saw me once again staring at the piece of luggage that had been delivered to me. With much care she went around it, sat by my side and said: − You know what? Don’t open it. If you are afraid of knowing what’s inside, you don’t need to open it. I’m also scared of its contents. − I will only open it when everything is finally cleared. That is, if I will ever open it. I am only afraid of losing you and, believe me, that’s the only real fear I have. − So let us live what we are living with the maximum intensity. And what about that pain you felt? Is it gone? − Yes, it is gone. − So let me show you the clothes I just bought. I bought you some, as well. − Really? That’s another reason not to open this piece of luggage. We laughed about it, went over to the table and toasted to what was about to 48
Eclipse da vida
happen. Later on, we relaxed on the sofa and talked until we were overcome by exhaustion and fell asleep together, not a thought in our minds. By the time I woke up, the Sun was way up in the sky and I felt a wonderful sensation of well-being took over me. With enthusiasm I noticed Sofie waking up and kissed her face. − Good morning! Did you sleep well? Shall we go out and grab a bite to eat? What do you think? − Good morning. I feel wonderful and I am quite hungry. Let’s go out and have a good time in the city. We left the hotel and went down the street and soon found a cozy place to eat, so we walked in and had a seat. The waiter welcomed us with a big smile on his face. We placed our order and talked about everyday things and then I told her something that was inside my soul. − I am totally ready to face whatever lies ahead of us. I feel safe by your side. Cesar Rabello
49
Sofie’s voice gave me peace, serenity and confidence. We were having such a good time there, talking about all sorts of things that time just flew by so quickly. We only noticed we had been sitting there for quite a while when the waiter brought us two glasses of wine. − These are on the house, sir. It is holy wine. Right after serving us, he told us: − Please, wait a moment. I have something for you. He went up to the counter, grabbed a plate full of almond cookies. He placed that on our table and said: − These are for you too. You are a wonderful couple and you shine so bright. We thanked those nice words noticing that the sweet and wooden taste of that wine had a lot to do with that moment. We left the restaurant and walked back to the hotel cherishing that moment we were living together.

To my dismay, once we turned onto a very narrow street, in the distance I saw the two men in black we had seen before, at the station. They were standing and having a conversation in the middle of the street. I got Sofie and we started walking away. − Come along, Sofie. Those are the same men that were waiting for us at the station. − Do you think they have been following us? − I don’t want to wait and see. Come with me. We quickly walked away through an empty street and fear began to take over me as if something really bad was about to happen. We kept on walking until we finally got to the hotel. Only then I said: − Sofie, don’t go in yet. Wait a little, so that we can be sure they won’t see us getting in. We watched both sides of the street and couldn’t see them anymore. So I asked:

− Do you think our minds are playing a trick on us? − I don’t know, but I have to admit this is quite weird. We were suspicious and aprehensive as we walked in the hotel. We decided to stay in the lobby for a while, before going up to the suite, just to make sure those men had not been following us. We were there, in silence when I heard a song. It was as if there had been a soundtrack to everything that had been happening to us. − Sofie, can you hear this song? − Yes! Where is it coming from? − I don’t have the slightest idea, but I’ve been listening to it for a while now. − Do you think it is meant for us? − Do you think it is part of all that has been happening to us? − I think so. We decided to go up and the song kept on playing as we got in the elevator. 52
Eclipse da vida
Was it playing just in our minds? Those were soft notes that just made us feel better. I opened the door to our suite and along with the song, I smelled something intoxicating in a good way. It was a mystic smell and a quite sensual one, with the same mystery aura of just like everything else since I had woken up inside that train. We sat on the sofa but remained quiet as Sofie leaned on me. We were blinded by the moment and the magic sensation of the unknown. I must have taken a nap, because I don’t remember much else, except Sofie walking me to our bed. I looked at her once again before I finally fell asleep.
