<< What is this? >> he asks me once we reach our destination. 

<<Isn' t it obvious? >> i respond. 

I walk into the playground, facing joyful kids playing happily and carefree, because no one can hurt  their innocence and purity. All around, parents look at them full of love and affection, leaving the problems away, since each smile of their viscus, can erase them all at once. I stare with awe and conjure up the moments I came here with my father and sometimes even with my mom. 

<<Why did we come here? >> he asks me, looking around with displeasure, since he reasonably expected me to bring him to a different place. 

But I remain silent. I proceed to the backround and head to the bench in which we sat with my dad back then. My eyes pin to a specific point. The point I was sitting when Matt first saw me. I remember that moment and smile while welling up. Of course I know very well that i can' t remember that since i was still a baby. However, Matt had conveyed this picture in my mind  and since then whenever i disowned my feelings, I brought in my mind this remembrance, and let his face remaining in my thoughts for hours. We have experienced many things together. Too many i would say. We first met several times, since he decided to erase my memory, but our real first meeting was here. When i was a baby and he a mental wreck vampire. I feel despair in the thought of if Irina didn' t abandon him, if Matt hadn' t come to this town to forget about her, if he hadn' t enter into this playground, if my eyes hadn' t met his, then he wouldn' t have transferred these three drops of blood inside me and I wouldn' t have become a vampire. I wouldn' t have met him and my life would be normal, without the pain of an unfulfilled love. I wonder if I was able to turn back the clock and  control my destiny, what could I do? But i would never know. I stare for some time engrossed until i suddenly  see him. He appears in front of me. He' s standing there, right at the same point where we first met, while his eyes dance with mine. I blink for a moment to see if he's fake,  an hologram, a product of my imagination, but he remains there, looking at me with sparkling eyes, full of meaning ... 

<< Hey! Eve to earth! Where have you been gone? >> i hear Bruno say and post and turned my eyes fall on it. 

<<Huh? >> i ask, as if I haven' t understood a word of what he had just said. 

<< Why were you zone out? >> he asks. Without giving him an answer, I turn my head to look at Matt. However, he has disappeared. 

I lost him again. Every time I' m about to find him, I lose him again. I can' t take anymore! I' m about to lose my mind. His absence is about to drive me crazy. 

<< You saw him too, didn' t you? Did you see him? He was standing right there, right? >> i ask him, awaiting a reply. He comes and sits next to me, leaning towards me and gently stroking my cheek. 

<<Little girl ... There is no one there. >> he tells me looking at me compassionately. 

<< But how? I saw him. It' s not possible! I swear i saw. >> i yell,  no longer being able hold back my tears, that now are soaking with bitterness his jacket. 

Bruno pulls me closer to him, throwing me in his arms, allowing me to burst our into tears for a long time while many parents are staring at me fondly. Nevertheless, i don' t skim over. I stay for a while in Bruno' s arms to the point that I'm sure, he starts wondering, how couldn' t my tears get dried. I feel my eyes swollen and my mouth dry, dehydrated. I lift my head and my honey eyes meet Bruno' s. 

<<Are you feeling better now? >> he asks me. 

<< Can you go get me some water? >> i plead him, ignoring his question.
