“Alessandro”

During the journey, I noticed that Catarina was very tense and worried. Whatever it was, it had changed my assistant’s mood.

When we arrived, she got out of the car and ran, and I followed her. She looked at me as if she wanted to ask what I was doing, and I quickly answered:

- I’ll go with you. I don’t know what the emergency is, but you might need help.

She didn’t say anything, she just nodded. When we entered her apartment, a woman came to meet us.

- Catarina, I’m glad you’re here. I was going to call you. – the woman said, worried.

- Where is he, Lygia? – Catarina asked, distressed.

- He’s in his room and his fever has increased. I came to get him some water. – The woman answered, while I was thinking, who the hell is he?

Catarina burst into the hallway and I couldn’t contain myself; I followed her. When I entered the room, I saw her pick up a child and say sweetly:

- Calm down, my love. Mommy is here.

Mommy? Is she Mommy? My head was spinning as I watched that scene.
