Amar Para Sempre
by Nuria Pariente NoguerasAmor, ruptura, inseguranças, reconciliação, angústia e auto-aperfeiçoamento,... todos eles e mais povoados Lembrai-vos para sempre e Esquecei-vos para sempre. Nesta terceira parte da saga, ainda que apenas pelo nome: Amar Para Sempre, é quase obrigatório dar lugar à poesia para os ouvidos: o fim de um romance romântico que todos querem ouvir. Nada poderia estar mais longe da realidade, pois não há amor para sempre, sem complicações, onde não é necessário lutar, chorar, rir ou perdoar todos os dias. O pior está prestes a chegar ao nosso protagonista... Assustado, tremendo de frio e medo, eu me abraço, esfrego meus braços inutilmente, balanço para frente e para trás, tocando minha cabeça entre meus joelhos, mas nada funciona. A realidade crua perfura os meus ossos. A realidade crua já se manifesta em meu estômago vazio, seca meus lábios. A realidade crua é a imagem e o som do grande corpo de Bryan colapsando contra o mármore polido, antes que a escuridão pairasse sobre mim... >>
