Chapter 1

A ansiedade apertou meu coração, espremendo-o até eu achar que ia vomitar ou desmaiar. Olhei para o espelho na sala de descanso. Uma teia emaranhada de roxo e preto pulsava sobre minha cabeça enquanto eu segurava o telefone no ouvido.

"Ele não vai atender," murmurou Lily, mas eu a ignorei.

Quando eu estava prestes a desistir, Robert atendeu o telefone com um rude "Alô?"

"Oi, querido. Desculpe incomodar, mas só queria te lembrar que o cruzeiro é amanhã. Temos que estar no porto às 17h," disse alegremente, lutando contra o nó na garganta.

"Sim, sim. Amanhã às 17h. Escuta, tenho que ir," e antes que eu pudesse dizer mais alguma coisa, ele desligou, deixando-me com o som de uma risada rouca de mulher ecoando no meu ouvido.

"Quem diabos era essa?" exigiu Lily, mas eu estava tão no escuro quanto ela.

"Provavelmente só uma cliente no bar," disse a ela. Tinha que ser. Eu confiava completamente em Robert.

Ainda assim, coloquei o telefone de volta no bolso do avental com um suspiro.

"O que ele fez desta vez?" uma voz perguntou atrás de mim. Eu pulei e me virei para encontrar Cathy me encarando. Fiz uma careta ao ver o vórtice giratório de neon laranja acima da cabeça dela. Ela estava extremamente irritada.

"Ele não fez nada. Ele estava apenas ocupado no trabalho," disse suavemente, esperando acalmá-la. Mas Cathy era muito protetora comigo e não gostava de Robert.

"Certo. Se você pode fazer turnos duplos por duas semanas seguidas para comprar esses ingressos para o cruzeiro, o mínimo que ele poderia fazer é te dar um pouco do tempo precioso dele, Almara," Cathy disparou e eu estremeci. Mas o que mais eu poderia ter feito? Era para o aniversário dele e eu tinha acabado de me formar na faculdade. Não é como se eu viesse de uma família rica.

"Ele não me obrigou a fazer isso. Eu quis. Gosto de fazer coisas boas para as pessoas de quem gosto," sorri para ela, tentando convencer a ela e a mim mesma de que tudo estava bem.

Ela revirou os olhos e estalou as unhas Vermelho Maçã Doce para mim. "Bem, estarei aqui para você quando seu coração for partido. Eu te amo, querida," e com isso ela voltou para o restaurante.

Eu me afundei em uma das cadeiras, colocando a cabeça nas mãos. Eu realmente esperava que esse cruzeiro pudesse mudar as coisas para nós. Robert estava distante ultimamente e eu não sabia por quê.

Nos conhecíamos desde pequenos e crescemos juntos. Tornou-se um romance quando chegamos ao ensino médio e sempre fomos super afetuosos.

Mas as coisas mudaram quando nos formamos. Ambos tínhamos nossos próprios empregos e não podíamos estar juntos com tanta frequência quanto antes. Se a separação fosse o único problema, então estar juntos por sete dias em um cruzeiro certamente resolveria isso.

Balancei a cabeça e endireitei os ombros. Robert e eu nos casaríamos como sempre planejamos. Seríamos felizes como meus pais. Todos os nossos sonhos se tornariam realidade.

Pelo menos era isso que eu dizia a mim mesma.


O navio de cruzeiro era mais magnífico do que eu poderia imaginar. Brilhava de um branco raio de lua à luz do sol poente.

Eu tinha lido em algum lugar durante minha pesquisa para esta viagem que o proprietário era o bilionário mais jovem e o quarto mais luxuoso do navio estava permanentemente reservado para ele. Não que eu pudesse pagar por isso.

Pessoas assim basicamente viviam em um planeta diferente. Luxo como esse provavelmente era natural para ele, enquanto eu quase trabalhei até a morte só para experimentar isso. Mas não importava. Eu fiz isso por amor. Robert e eu íamos ter uma viagem perfeita.

O vento fresco do mar afastou meu cabelo castanho canela dos ombros, revelando o decote em forma de coração do meu vestido verde esmeralda. As mangas longas ajudariam a combater o frio do oceano, mas o linho o tornava respirável. Era o vestido perfeito para um cruzeiro e eu me sentia bonita pela primeira vez em muito tempo.

"Almara! Aí está você, querida!"

Virei-me com um grande sorriso no rosto, esperando ansiosamente enquanto Robert abria caminho pela multidão, sua mala de rodinhas passando por alguns dedos no processo.

Fiquei feliz ao ver um amarelo brilhante sobre a cabeça dele. Ele estava realmente empolgado com essa viagem.

Quando ele finalmente estava na minha frente, um flash de vermelho atravessou o amarelo e meu sorriso ficou forçado. O que eu poderia ter feito para provocar essa cor?

"O que você está vestindo?" Robert perguntou, os olhos percorrendo meu corpo, fazendo minhas bochechas esquentarem de vergonha. Ele não aprovava.

Passei as mãos pelo vestido, desconfortável. "Comprei para o cruzeiro. Você não gostou?"

"Está bem, eu acho. Mas olhe ao redor. Você se destaca como um polegar machucado." Ele acenou com a mão para abranger o resto dos convidados do cruzeiro. A maioria das mulheres estava vestida de forma provocante. Minhas bochechas queimaram ainda mais.

"Vou lembrar disso da próxima vez," sorri forçadamente para ele, envolvendo meus braços ao redor da cintura. A alegria momentânea que eu sentia estava desaparecendo.

Robert resmungou em concordância e me puxou, cortando a frente das pessoas para chegar ao início da fila, ignorando todos os resmungos irritados que nos seguiam.

"Oi! Bem-vindos a bordo! Estamos informando a todos os nossos passageiros que teremos uma Promenade ao Luar no segundo andar do convés, no salão de baile, por volta das 21h. Esperamos vê-los lá!" Um membro da tripulação nos cumprimentou na porta, distribuindo panfletos enquanto passávamos.

Eu me encolhi por dentro. Robert adorava dançar e eu não tinha nenhum ritmo, mas sabia que estaríamos lá.

"Com certeza estaremos!" Robert disse a ela enquanto seguíamos outro tripulante até nosso quarto.


O salão de baile era lindo, mas eu não conseguia apreciá-lo. Estava muito focada em não torcer o tornozelo nos saltos ridículos que Robert insistiu que eu comprasse na boutique do cruzeiro. Ele também me fez comprar um novo vestido amarelo-limão com decote profundo.

Eu podia sentir os olhares lascivos dos passageiros masculinos e tentei ao máximo ignorá-los. Em vez disso, foquei em Robert e na maneira como seu rosto se iluminava enquanto olhava ao redor.

"Não é ótimo, Almara? Quando foi a última vez que fomos dançar?" Ele perguntou animadamente, indo direto para a pista de dança onde casais já se moviam ao som da música. Eu pensei que tocariam valsas ou algo parecido, mas estavam tocando música de balada.

"Faz muito tempo," concordei, mas por dentro estava pensando que não fazia tempo suficiente.

Ele me puxou contra ele, braços deslizando ao redor da minha cintura enquanto me conduzia em uma dança sensual. Tentei ao máximo acompanhar, balançando meus quadris ao ritmo, mas sabia que não era um movimento fluido. Parecia truncado e fora de sincronia.

Mas Robert não parecia se importar. Seus olhos estavam fixos no meu decote e uma dose saudável de rosa começou a se espalhar pela nuvem amarela acima da cabeça dele. Luxúria. Eu não via essa cor há um tempo.

As mãos de Robert deslizaram para baixo, apertando meu traseiro com força. Eu pulei e bati nas mãos dele de brincadeira. Robert deu uma risada baixa no meu ouvido e colocou as mãos de volta onde estavam.

Eu me desvencilhei do abraço dele, murmurando que precisava ir ao banheiro. Eu não era virgem em nenhum sentido da palavra, mas demonstrações públicas de afeto não eram minha praia e ele sabia disso. Eu precisava escapar e me acalmar um pouco.

Quando meus nervos estavam sob controle, saí do banheiro e fui imediatamente recebida com uma visão que fez meu sangue ferver. Robert estava dançando muito intimamente com uma mulher estranha adornada com joias. A nuvem acima da cabeça dele era de um rosa profundo e a da mulher também.

O que diabos? Lily rosnou, sua raiva se misturando com a minha.

Respirei fundo. Robert só gosta de dançar, disse a ela, sabendo que isso não a acalmaria.

Certo, se é assim que você quer chamar. Mentir para si mesma não faz isso desaparecer. Ele não é nosso companheiro. Deixe-o.

Isso era fácil para ela dizer, mas eu nunca tive sorte na vida e sabia que as chances de encontrar meu companheiro eram pequenas. Além disso, os preparativos para o casamento já estavam em andamento. E, mais importante, eu amava Robert.

Querendo evitar conflitos e arruinar nossa viagem antes mesmo de começar, decidi caminhar para fora para tomar um pouco de ar fresco.

Apoiando meus braços no corrimão, olhei para o oceano, apreciando o spray da espuma do mar no meu rosto.

"Você quer se casar comigo?" uma voz profunda flutuou no vento e eu olhei para o lado. Um homem de costas para mim estava de joelhos na frente de uma mulher deslumbrante.

Ele estava vestindo um terno azul profundo caro, os abotoaduras de safira combinando brilhando à luz do luar.

"Arthur, eu já te disse que não estou pronta. Quantas vezes preciso repetir?" ela perguntou, com vermelho-laranja girando acima da cabeça dela. Ela se afastou, os saltos batendo furiosamente contra o convés.

A nuvem do homem ficou de um azul profundo. Ele estava de coração partido e meu próprio coração se compadeceu dele.

"Tantas vezes quanto for necessário," ele sussurrou antes de se levantar. Quando a luz do luar iluminou o rosto do homem, eu o encarei em silêncio atordoado. Ele era o homem mais bonito que eu já tinha visto.
