As they walked back to the Ford Ranger, each pushing carts loaded with plants, Tábata noticed the usefulness of Guilherme's choice of vehicle. She had found the huge pickup truck strange ever since she first saw it. Perez seemed more suited to a convertible, where the removable top would let the wind lovingly caress the long strands of his hair. Now, watching him arrange the various items in the truck bed, his priority was obvious."The truck bed is perfect for carrying the plants," she commented admiringly.He smiled sideways, arranging the seedlings so they wouldn't get damaged, as demanded by his father, who was arranging some bags in the passenger seats."I chose it thinking of my father. He always needs help with these things. It makes it easier for everyone."Taby's admiration for Guilherme only grew. He didn't need to be there, pushing carts among plants and filling the car with gardening supplies. He was a successful lawyer; he could easily pay someone to do this kind of work.

Guilherme's car glided smoothly along the road, the silence inside the cabin only interrupted by the noise of the Ranger's engine. Sitting beside him, processing Mirela's excitement, a wealthy woman, over her baby, Tábata looked distractedly at the landscape."Did Dona Mirela's offer bother you?" he asked, upon hearing the hundredth sigh since they left the Salvatore mansion."No, never! I found it unexpected and lovely... I didn't expect her to get so excited about a complete stranger's baby," she confessed."Dona Mirela is intense when it comes to family." His fingers tightened on the steering wheel. He hesitated a little, choosing his words carefully as he warned her. "Be careful! She has good intentions, but she's also on the hunt for a wife for her son, a womanizer with no future."Tábata turned quickly to him, her eyes wide with surprise."What?!""She really loves planning parties, especially weddings, and her focus in recent years has been on her youngest son. Don't be surpris

In Guilherme's living room, surrounded by the tangle of Christmas lights and ornaments, Tábata and he were setting up the one-meter tree that would be the centerpiece of his family's New Year's celebration. Both were busy placing on the branches the little lights, bells, bows, and various colorful decorations that were in the suitcase he had picked up from his father's house."I've always enjoyed looking at Christmas decorations," Tábata commented, holding a golden angel. "Ever since I became responsible for the antique shop, I'd set aside the prettiest pieces with a Christmas feel to decorate the main window," she remarked, fitting the angel onto the side of the green plastic tree. "There was a beautiful music box, with a delicate porcelain ballerina and red arabesques, that I had set aside for this year..."Tábata's voice died out, leaving only her melancholic expression and trembling fingers reaching for the next ornament.Noticing this, Guilherme fumed at her parents' lack of cons

In the morning, on Christmas Eve, Tábata woke up to the aroma of fresh bread and coffee invading the room."Let's feed you, baby," she whispered, sliding her hands affectionately over her voluminous belly as she headed to the bathroom.Minutes later, following her sense of smell and the call of her stomach, she made her way to the kitchen.As she passed through the living room, she looked at the various presents under the tree, placed there by Guilherme the night before. He hadn't mentioned who they were for, but by the quantity, six, it was obvious he had bought one for each person who would be at the Christmas lunch, including the baby.Looking at the wrapped gifts, she felt ashamed. She had nothing to give him, or anyone else who would be there. Even though she had little money, she needed to go out and buy something special for the people who were taking care of her and her baby. However, there was one problem: Guilherme himself. He would surely insist on coming along."Good morni
