There was no need for dialogue between the two of them, as soon as their eyes met they knew what they needed. Steve grabbed her by the waist and managed to pull her to her feet, she put her hands around his neck on tiptoe, dropped her head on his neck and continued to unleash her duel. She cried, she cried with all her might, she got all the pain out of her and Steve stood there hugging her, gently stroking her hair over and over again."Shhhh, calm down Chel, everything's going to be fine," he finally managed to say."No, everything is not going to be okay, my mother has died, how is it possible that she ceased to exist in this world from one moment to the next? I didn't even get a chance to sa

He has just had a rather complicated operation on his leg, he has been lying down for several days; Despite this, I'm not going to lie to you either, you suffered from a small lumbar injury, there was always the possibility that something like this could lead to the fact that we had ruled it out, whatever the cause, we have to do some tests to make sure of the reason and the connotation that this could bring.

That night is his third wiskhy and although he has been evading Larissa, she is the only one who can hear him. It is not easy for him to know that his younger brother is gay, but not because of social prejudices but because of emotional ones. Now she understands what he meant when he talked about how difficult his life was, about having to pretend to be who he really was so as not to disappoint those he loved. She heard the doorbell ring, and she guessed it must be her.
