<\/figure>\n\n\n\nN\u011bco nebylo v po\u0159\u00e1dku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kdy\u017e ve\u010der skon\u010dil a posledn\u00ed host\u00e9 ode\u0161li, ve vzduchu st\u00e1le visela v\u016fn\u011b lili\u00ed a r\u016f\u017e\u00ed. M\u00e1ma ode\u0161la d\u0159\u00edv s t\u00edm, \u017ee ji bol\u00ed hlava, ale jej\u00ed chov\u00e1n\u00ed m\u011b pron\u00e1sledovalo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eSle\u010dno Emerald?\u201c oslovil m\u011b jemn\u011b pracovn\u00edk poh\u0159ebn\u00ed slu\u017eby, pan Peters. \u201eVezm\u011bte si tolik \u010dasu, kolik pot\u0159ebujete.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eD\u011bkuji.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kdy\u017e ode\u0161el, vr\u00e1tila jsem se k rakvi. M\u00edstnost p\u016fsobila t\u011b\u017e\u0161\u00ed, jako by v sob\u011b dr\u017eela tajemstv\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePromi\u0148, babi,\u201c za\u0161eptala jsem a dotkla se jej\u00ed studen\u00e9 ruky. \u201eAle n\u011bco nen\u00ed v po\u0159\u00e1dku. V\u017edy jsi \u0159\u00edkala, abych v\u011b\u0159ila sv\u00e9mu instinktu.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pozd\u011bji doma jsem sed\u011bla v jej\u00edm star\u00e9m k\u0159esle. Bal\u00ed\u010dek le\u017eel na m\u00e9m kl\u00edn\u011b, zabalen\u00fd do zn\u00e1m\u00e9ho modr\u00e9ho \u0161\u00e1tku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poznala jsem vy\u0161\u00edvan\u00e9 \u201eC\u201c v rohu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eCo skr\u00fdv\u00e1\u0161, mami?\u201c zamumlala jsem a rozv\u00e1zala uzel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uvnit\u0159 byly des\u00edtky dopis\u016f. V\u0161echny adresovan\u00e9 m\u00e9 matce, psan\u00e9 babi\u010d\u010din\u00fdm rukopisem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prvn\u00ed za\u010d\u00ednal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVictoria,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
v\u00edm, co jsi ud\u011blala\u2026\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moje ruce se t\u0159\u00e1sly, kdy\u017e jsem \u010detla d\u00e1l. Pen\u00edze mizely. L\u017ei. Sliby, kter\u00e9 nebyly nikdy dodr\u017eeny. Hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ka\u017ed\u00fd dopis odhaloval v\u00edc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Posledn\u00ed babi\u010d\u010din dopis m\u011b p\u0159ipravil o dech:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eV\u0161echno, co m\u00e1m, odkazuji Emerald \u2014 jedin\u00e9 osob\u011b, kter\u00e1 m\u011b milovala bez podm\u00ednek.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pak posledn\u00ed dopis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Od m\u00e9 matky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eVzala jsem ty pen\u00edze. A v\u00ed\u0161 co? Emerald mi stejn\u011b d\u00e1, co budu cht\u00edt. Miluje m\u011b. Nakonec vyhraju.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sed\u011bla jsem tam v tichu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Celou noc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R\u00e1no jsem j\u00ed zavolala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMami, m\u016f\u017eeme se sej\u00edt? Babi\u010dka ti n\u011bco nechala.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jej\u00ed hlas byl pln\u00fd o\u010dek\u00e1v\u00e1n\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V kav\u00e1rn\u011b si ke mn\u011b sedla, usm\u00edvala se, hr\u00e1la svou roli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Podala jsem j\u00ed bal\u00ed\u010dek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kdy\u017e \u010detla, jej\u00ed tv\u00e1\u0159 zbledla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pod druh\u00fdm dopisem byla moje zpr\u00e1va:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eM\u00e1m v\u0161echno. Jestli se m\u011b pokus\u00ed\u0161 manipulovat, pravda vyjde najevo.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eEmerald, j\u00e1\u2014\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zvedla jsem se.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMiluju t\u011b,\u201c \u0159ekla jsem klidn\u011b. \u201eAle to neznamen\u00e1, \u017ee m\u011b m\u016f\u017ee\u0161 vyu\u017e\u00edvat. Ztratila jsi mou d\u016fv\u011bru. Nav\u017edy.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oto\u010dila jsem se a ode\u0161la.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nechala jsem ji tam \u2014 samotnou se v\u0161\u00edm, co ud\u011blala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proto\u017ee n\u011bkter\u00e9 pravdy nelze poh\u0159b\u00edt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
