Snow

ELARAI looked out the window of our chalet in Switzerland and felt like I had stepped into a completely different world. Everything was quiet and peaceful with a thick blanket of white snow covering the ground and the tall mountains. It was nothing like the bright noisy streets of Tokyo. The air felt cold and fresh when I opened the door and stepped outside for the first time. My boots made soft crunching sounds in the snow and I stopped walking just to stare at everything. I had never seen snow before in my life. It looked so clean and beautiful like the whole world had been covered in soft white sugar. Mateo stood behind me watching quietly. I could feel his eyes on me but I did not turn around right away. I was too busy trying to understand this new feeling in my chest. It was light and warm even though the air was freezing.I reached out my hand and caught some snowflakes on my palm. They were so small and perfect for a moment before they melted away into tiny drops of water. “T

Healing

ELARAThe days in Switzerland felt slow and gentle like a soft blanket wrapped around me after years of living in a storm. Everything moved at a peaceful pace that I was not used to. Mateo was very patient with me as he taught me how to ski on the gentle slopes near our chalet. I spent more time falling into the soft snow than actually standing on the skis. Every time I fell I would laugh at myself and Mateo would come over to help me up with strong hands and a warm smile. “You are getting better,” he would say even when I knew I was terrible at it. “Just keep trying. I will catch you if you fall.” His words made me feel safe in a way I had never felt before. I would look up at him covered in snow and feel my heart get bigger with love and a little bit of fear because good things still scared me sometimes.One afternoon we built a snowman together in the open field behind the chalet. The snow was perfect for it and we worked side by side rolling big balls of snow. My hands got cold

Blue

ELARA I could not believe the ocean in Santorini was real. The water was the deepest, brightest blue I had ever seen in my life. It looked like someone had taken the most beautiful paint in the world and poured it across the sea. When we first arrived and I stepped out onto the terrace of our villa I just stood there staring at it for a long time. The white buildings on the cliffs looked like they were made of chalk and they stood out so clearly against that perfect blue water. The wind was warm and gentle and carried the smell of salt and flowers. Mateo came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I leaned back against him but I could not take my eyes off the ocean. “Is this really real?” I asked softly. “It looks like a painting. Like something that should not exist in our world.” Mateo kissed my shoulder and held me tighter. “It is real,” he said in a gentle voice. “And it looks even better because you are here seeing it with me.”We left the villa and started walking

Sunset

ELARAThe days in Santorini started to feel softer and slower like romance had quietly taken the place of all the adventure. Mateo surprised me one evening with dinner on a private terrace overlooking the sea. The table was set with candles and flowers and the food smelled amazing. The sun was starting to go down and the sky turned pink and orange making the blue water look like it was on fire. I sat across from him and could not stop looking at his face in the soft candlelight. “You keep staring at me,” he said with a small smile. “What are you thinking about?” I felt shy but I answered honestly. “I am thinking about how lucky I am,” I said. “To be here with you. To have someone who wants to give me nights like this.” Mateo reached across the table and took my hand. “I am the lucky one,” he replied. “Because I get to see you smile like this. Real smiles. Not the ones you used to fake to survive.”After dinner the sky grew dark and full of stars. Mateo stood up and offered me his h

Wrapped in blue

ELARAMateo saw the look on my face and he didn't let me stay scared for long. He leaned in and kissed me. It wasn't a quick kiss; it was slow and deep, and it tasted like the salt in the air and the sweetness of the morning. I melted into him, my hands finding their way to the back of his neck. I could feel his heart beating fast against my chest, and it made me feel like I was the only thing in the world that mattered to him.He pulled back just an inch, his eyes dark and full of heat. He looked around the deck of the yacht. The captain was far away at the front, and the wind was blowing, making a loud sound that hid everything."I can't wait until we get inside," he whispered, his voice sounding rough. "I want you right here. Right now."My heart jumped. "Here? Outside?" I asked, feeling a little bit nervous but mostly excited."Yes," he murmured. He pushed me gently back against the soft, white leather seats of the lounge area. "I want the sun on your skin and the wind in your hai

Hearts at sea

ELARAHe took my hand and led me to the cabin of the yacht. It was very fancy, with a big, soft bed that had white sheets and fluffy pillows. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, making the room feel warm and golden. As soon as the door closed, Mateo pushed me gently against it. He looked at me with so much hunger in his eyes that it made my stomach flip in a good way."You have no idea how beautiful you are," he murmured. He started kissing my neck, his lips warm and soft. I let out a little moan and tilted my head back, giving him more room. "I've been thinking about this all morning. Just having you here, where no one can find us."I giggled, feeling a bit playful. "Only all morning? I've been thinking about it since we woke up."Mateo chuckled, a low sound that vibrated through my body. "Is that so? You're a little tease, aren't you?"His eyes traveled over my breasts, and I felt a rush of heat go through me. I ran my finger on his chest. I wanted him just as much as he wan

If you point at it

ELARA I felt completely overwhelmed when we arrived in Dubai. The city was full of tall shining buildings that touched the sky and lights that made everything look like a golden dream. Mateo held my hand as we drove through the busy streets and I could not stop staring out the window. Everything looked expensive and bright. “This place is too much,” I said softly. “Like it is not made for normal people.” Mateo smiled and squeezed my hand. “For the next three days you are not allowed to look at price tags,” he told me. “If you point at something you like, it is yours. No questions asked.” I laughed because I thought he was joking. “You cannot be serious,” I said. “What if I point at a whole store?” He looked at me with serious eyes. “Then I buy the store,” he answered. “You are worth far more than anything I could ever buy.”We went to a huge shopping mall with stores full of beautiful clothes and jewelry and things I had never seen before. I saw a pretty watch in one window and p

One more childhood

ELARAOur final day in Dubai felt like the sweetest ending to a long beautiful dream. Mateo woke me up with a big smile and said we had one more special day planned. We went to a giant water park first and I felt like the whole world turned into playtime the moment we stepped inside. There were twisting slides and lazy rivers and big wave pools that crashed like the real sea. I ran to the tallest slide and pulled Mateo with me. “Let us try this one!” I said excitedly. We went down together screaming and laughing as the water rushed around us fast and cold. When we reached the bottom I was breathing hard but I could not stop smiling. “Again!” I shouted. “I want to do that one more time.” Mateo laughed and followed me without complaining. We rode every slide we could find and I kept getting more brave with each one. The water felt refreshing on my skin after the hot desert air and I felt free in a way I had never felt before.In the afternoon we did something silly that made me laugh

Home

ELARAThe journey home was quiet but everything between us had changed in the best way. I sat on the plane looking out the window at the clouds and thought about how different I felt now. I was no longer the guarded woman who boarded the first plane with Mateo. That woman had been careful and always ready for trouble. This new me laughed more easily and reached for Mateo’s hand without thinking about it. I turned to look at him sleeping beside me and smiled without meaning to. His face looked peaceful and I felt a warm feeling spread through my chest. The trip had shown me so many beautiful things but the biggest change was inside me. I was starting to imagine a future instead of only planning how to survive the next day. That felt new and a little scary but mostly exciting.Mateo woke up slowly and caught me watching him. He smiled sleepily and took my hand. “What are you thinking about?” he asked in a soft voice. I squeezed his hand and looked at our fingers together. “I am thinki

New life

ELARAWe finally got home after the long drive and I felt completely exhausted. My body was tired from all the traveling and all the excitement we had shared. Mateo looked just as worn out as I was. We barely spoke as we walked into the house. The familiar rooms felt comforting after so many new places. We went straight to the shower together letting the warm water wash away the tiredness from the journey. Mateo washed my hair gently and I leaned against him feeling safe in his arms. “I am so tired,” I said with a small laugh. “I feel like I could sleep for days.” He kissed my wet shoulder and nodded. “Me too,” he replied. “Let us just rest tonight. No thinking about anything else.” We dried off and climbed into bed without even eating. The soft sheets felt like heaven after all the hotel beds. I curled up against Mateo and fell asleep almost immediately with his arm around me.I woke up later feeling strange. My body felt hot and my head was hurting. I thought it was just from all
