"Manuela"
When Melissa dropped me off at Flávio's building, I was waxed, made up, and combed, wearing beautiful, sexy lingerie, a new dress, and high heels that made me feel like a giant. We went to the mall and then to a spa where she put me through every possible procedure, which, according to her, would make me irresistible. The best part was that salt bath with rose petals, which was delicious. When I was ready, I truly felt beautiful.
I stopped at the apartment door and took a deep breath.
