Após oito anos de relacionamento, Inês Alves passou de deusa idealizada na mente de Ibsen Serpa para alguém de quem ele mal podia esperar para se livrar. Foram três anos de esforço, até que Inês esgotou o último resquício de sentimento por ele. Finalmente, ela desistiu e foi embora. No dia da separação, Ibsen riu friamente: — Inês, estou esperando você voltar e me pedir para reatar. Mas o que ele esperou, esperou e o que veio, na verdade, foi o anúncio do casamento de Inês. Consumido pela raiva, ele ligou para Inês: — Já terminou essa palhaçada? Do outro lado da linha, uma voz masculina e grave respondeu: — Sr. Serpa, minha noiva está no banho, não pode atender sua ligação agora. Ibsen soltou um riso frio e desligou na hora, convencido de que aquilo não passava de mais um joguinho de Inês, querendo chamar sua atenção. Só no dia do casamento de Inês, ao vê-la vestida de noiva, buquê nas mãos caminhando em direção a outro homem, Ibsen finalmente se deu conta de que Inês realmente não o queria mais. Num acesso de loucura, correu até Inês: — Inês, eu sei que errei, não case com outro, por favor! Inês ergueu a barra do vestido e passou por ele: — Sr. Serpa, você não disse que você e Mayra eram feitos um para o outro? Veio ajoelhar no meu casamento para quê?

Cuando tenía nueve años, quedé atrapada en una explosión mientras intentaba salvar a Joel Yorks, en donde la onda expansiva me arrebató la audición, por lo que, desde entonces, he tenido que usar audífonos. Joel se sintió tan culpable, que Insistió en pedirme la mano, y, con los ojos llenos de lágrimas, juró: —Helen, cuidaré de ti el resto de mi vida. Sin embargo, cuando cumplí dieciocho… todo cambió, porque él quería complacer a la chica más bonita de la escuela. Por esto, delante de ella y de todos nuestros compañeros, me arrancó el audífono, mientras decía con total desprecio: —Estoy harto de que seas una carga. De verdad desearía que no hubieras sobrevivido aquel día cuando tenías nueve años. Habría sido mejor que estuvieras muerta. Apreté mi informe audiológico y guardé silencio. Al llegar a casa, revisé en silencio mis solicitudes universitarias y, junto con mis padres, rompí formalmente el compromiso. A partir de entonces, Joel y yo seguiríamos caminos separados. No volveríamos a encontrarnos.

In the seventh year of my engagement with Nathan Galloway, he has inherited everything from his dead older brother, including his newly widowed sister-in-law, Catherine Wilkins. Whenever Nathan is done sleeping with Catherine, he'll hug me and comfort me gently. "Just wait for a little longer, Jojo. Once Cathy gets pregnant, we'll have our own wedding." This is the Galloways' only condition for Nathan to inherit the family's assets. In the six months following his return to Ravelton, Nathan has visited Catherine's room 52 times. He initially started off with just one visit per month. But slowly, the visits have been increasing to the point that he now visits her once every two days. Finally, when I spend my 52nd sleepless night sitting in my room and waiting for Nathan's return, I receive the news of Catherine's pregnancy.

That's why it's time for us to move out." What Nathan doesn't know is that we Melshes couldn't care less about marriage.

Ya no podía esperar a que cambiara, así que decidí dar el primer paso.
