Chapter 38 Unexpected Outburst

• Lizandra
• After a quick meal, I returned to the hammock on the balcony and once again tried to entertain myself with reading, even though my thoughts constantly drifted away, and I wasn't referring to the fantastic scenarios described in the book. The Bragança's house was huge, so I would never hear when everyone returned from the barbecue, but since it wasn't even two in the afternoon yet, I lay down peacefully until I heard a very loud crash.
• Did someone slam the door? That was the only thing I could think of. I quickly got up from the hammock and walked to the living room in time to see Heitor climbing the stairs two steps at a time. Yeah, he must be really upset to have slammed the door like that, I thought. I waited a few minutes for the others to enter, but no one appeared. Did Heitor come back alone? How strange.
