• Despite Lizandra's feigned shyness, our trip back to Rio was surprisingly pleasant. I confess that being with Catarina never brought me the same feeling as the company of the girl beside me, and even in the long silences between one topic and another, I felt quite comfortable just holding her hand.
• This time with Lizandra a certain detail about her aroused even more curiosity in me. I noticed that her hands were not thin and delicate like Heloísa's or Catarina's. They were thicker. I would even say somewhat calloused, as if she performed heavier work.
