"Stay a little longer" you say, not wanting to let him out of bed. León smiles and kisses you reassuringly

You sigh, snuggling up again as you watch León disappear into the bathroom. You'd like to spend more than a couple of days with him. You've been together for almost two years. Work always keeps him away from you, frustrating you, but at the same time, you understand. Thanks to his job, you're about to finish college, and he gave you this nice apartment. Although you're not with him for his money, you love him for who he is

You hear the shower turn on and look up at the ceiling. What can you do? Demand more time; seeing each other every once in a while isn't enough. Suddenly, the phone on the nightstand rings. It's León's, maybe it's from his work...

You look at your phone and a name pops up: "Ada"... You decide to answer.

"Hello." Your voice comes out a little hoarse in the morning. The person on the other end falls silent after you speak. "Hello? Who is this?" You ask, but there's no answer. You're about to hang up when...

"Who the hell are you?" A euphoric woman blurts. "What are you doing with my husband's cell phone?" Your mouth drops open at her words. "You're sleeping with him, aren't you?" You feel like the air has been ripped from your lungs. "Damn, don't you realize you're destroying a home? We have two kids, for God's sake." The woman continues insulting you on the phone, and you can only stare at the bathroom door, a lump in your throat, on the verge of tears.
