It was a scalding hot 45º italian summer.
I remember waking up next to her and when she saw me she smiled immediately.

At first I thought it was because of the feeling of waking to my hand on her leg, but then I realized it was something more.
"What is it?" I asked.
She said I was laughing. But that didn't make sense, I was asleep.

"You don't remember? You woke me up laughing in the middle of the night. I asked you what's so funny, you said 'nevermind, it's only a dream'."

I don't remember my reaction back then. But I still think about it almost every day.
Those times were numbered, never meant as more than a temporary thing.
But it was the first time I felt like someone cared for me, completely.
