She had learned to recognize the signals. 3 years afterward, Valentina met Martin, a veterinarian who took care of the pets of the employees of her father. Martin was simple, honest worker. He didn’t have much money, but he had something that Alexander never had, character. They married in a small ceremony, only with the close family. Valentina used a simple dress.
They bought the rings with the money that Martin had saved working the weekends. It wasn’t the dream wedding that she had planned with Alexander. It was better. It was real. Alexander was released after fulfilling two and a half years of sentence. He tried to search for Valentina, but she had changed number.
She had moved from apartment. She didn’t want to see him. She knew through third parties that he came out of the city. He tried to start again another place. She hoped sincerely that he had learned to be honest, but she knew that probably Alexander would continue being Alexander, and it was okay. Already, it wasn’t her problem.
