Catarina takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves, and rises to her feet. With a hesitant gesture, she extends her hand toward him, knowing she needs to show her gratitude for the opportunity.“Thank you so much, sir...” she says, her voice trembling slightly. “I promise I'll work hard and won't let you down.”“I already told you that you can call me Henri,” he repeats with a faint smile as he stands as well, taking her hand with a grip that's firm yet gentle.Catarina bites her lower lip, glancing away for a moment.“I don't know if that'll be easy,” she admits shyly, letting her eyes meet his for a brief second before lowering them again.Amused by her bashfulness, Henri lets out a quiet chuckle.“Don't worry,” he says, keeping hold of her hand for a few more seconds. “You'll get used to it.”The warmth he feels from her touch doesn't go unnoticed, but he remains composed, allowing the simple gesture to carry all the silent intensity of the moment. Catarina, in turn, feels a m

The next day...Denise can't stop crying as she watches her youngest daughter and son-in-law load their suitcases into the car, ready to return to the United States.“Why don't you stay here instead?” she asks, struggling to keep her voice steady between sobs. “You could still start college here this year, sweetheart.”“And start all over again when I'm already so far ahead over there?” Eloá replies, wrapping her mother in a tight embrace.“But we'd be able to help you with Amelie. And we'd get to see her all the time...”“I know it would be easier, Mom, but I really want to finish what I started there.”Feeling powerless to change her daughter's mind, Denise lets out a weary sigh.“I guess nothing I say is going to change your mind, is it?”“No,” Eloá says, smiling despite her mother's emotional state. “But I promise that we'll be back for the next long holiday.”“All right, my love,” Denise murmurs, wiping away her tears. “Just... take good care of yourself.”Gael steps closer, rest

The clock marks the end of the workday when Catarina finally shuts down her computer, satisfied with everything she accomplishes on her very first day. A deep sense of achievement washes over her, mixed with the familiar nervous excitement that comes with every new beginning. She carefully packs up her belongings, straightens the paperwork on her desk, and turns off the office lights, since her boss leaves earlier. The village is beginning to grow dark, but the sky still glows with warm shades of orange, mirroring the excitement filling her heart.As she walks home, she mentally relives every moment of the day: the way Henri patiently explains her tasks, the attentiveness in his eyes, and, above all, that faint, teasing smile that seems permanently etched into her memory. He carries himself with a perfect balance of professionalism and charm that leaves her both captivated and flustered. A shiver runs down her spine as she remembers the brief moment when their fingers brush and their

He parks the car in front of the university and jumps out, every muscle in his body tense. Near the entrance, Eloá sits beside Brook and two other coordinators. Students hurry past, some casting curious glances at the scene. But Gael has eyes only for his wife, who looks a little frightened.“Sweetheart!” he calls, quickly making his way to her.Eloá smiles, trying to hide the anxiety she feels.“Hey…” she says softly.The students keep watching, some whispering among themselves, but Gael pays them no attention. He takes her hand, feeling how warm and slightly shaky it is.“Do you want me to carry you?” he asks, looking into her eyes, which shine with both fear and anticipation.“No, I can make it to the car,” she replies, trying to sound calm.As they get into the car, Brook offers to go with them, but Eloá politely refuses, saying Gael can handle everything.“We’ll be fine. I’ll keep you updated,” he says, trying to sound confident, even though his heart is practically pounding out

Just as he suspects, his brother notices exactly what is happening between him and Catarina. Henri is about to answer when Noah cannot hold it in any longer and bursts into laughter.“What?” Henri asks, completely confused.“‘I called you Cat because you’re a little kitten!’” Noah blurts out between laughs, barely able to breathe.This time, it is Henri whose face burns with embarrassment. Not only has he been caught, but his brother has heard every word of their conversation.“What do you want, Noah?” Henri asks nervously, trying to keep his composure.“Me?” Noah grins, raising an eyebrow. “I want to know how you manage to win girls over with a pickup line that... terrible.”“Noah…” Henri starts, stumbling over his words as he searches for an explanation, but his brother does not let him finish. “Stop laughing. You don’t get it!”He walks to the door and locks it, afraid Catarina might overhear them. Then he returns to his desk and drops into his chair, wishing the floor would open u
