Chapter 20

• Maria Eduarda
• The night came so fast, I didn't even notice. After the spectacular lunch organized by Leon's housekeeper, we went to the living room, where there was one of those giant TVs, we sat down, and he hugged me, while we watched the series he wanted to show me, and in the end I got hooked myself. The show was really good, but I guess I was so tired that I ended up sleeping in his arms. That was very good, the day was very tiring.
• When I wake up, I don't know where I am, and I see everything dark. I end up being afraid, not knowing whether I was dreaming or awake. I sit up straight in what I imagine to be a bed and start looking for something to light, groping around to see if I can find it. When I find a wire, I realize that it might be the lampshade, and I tap it until I find the button to turn it on. It doesn't take long, I manage to light it, and breathe a relieved breath when I see that I'm back in Leon's bed.
