Chapter 47 Troubles Ahead

• Catarina
• Heloísa had invited me to go to the mall, and even though I didn't want to meet my friend out of fear of all the questions I was sure she would ask, I ended up agreeing to accompany her. Wisely, I insisted that I wanted to see a movie that had been released a few days ago, and I convinced her to watch it with me.
• The cinema didn't allow for conversations, and I had chosen a movie where the protagonist was precisely Heloísa's favorite actor. Thus, she was completely enthralled by the movie screen and forgot about me. When we left, Heloísa couldn't stop talking about how handsome the actor was and everything else about the movie. She thus forgot to pry into my life.
