An unusual scene caught her attention: her daughter, Helena, moving through the house with determination. Drawers were being opened, curtains raised, and Helena's brows were furrowed in concentration. Intrigued, Regina observed her daughter's actions for a moment before finally approaching."Helena, dear," Regina spoke, her tone tinged with curiosity, "what exactly are you doing?"Startled, Helena turned to face her mother, a touch of surprise in her eyes. She took a deep breath and sighed. "Mom, did you see a package I brought home from work a few weeks ago?"Regina furrowed her brow, her expression a mix of confusion and concern. "A package? I don't remember seeing any package. Why?"Helena's frustration was evident as she spoke, her voice tinged with a hint of exasperation. "I just can

"I brought this for you."She looked at the box and then at him, a smile playing on her lips. "Ah, this way you'll end up making me gain weight."Leandro laughed, his eyes meeting hers. "Well, even if you gain weight, I'll love you just the same."His response made her genuinely laugh, and Helena relaxed a bit more. Then, he leaned in to kiss her on the mouth. However, she slightly turned her head at the last moment, causing his lips to brush against her cheek. Leandro seemed frustrated with the unreciprocated gesture."Always so difficult, Helena," he joked, but there was a hint of disappointment in his voice.She smiled, a bit embarrassed. "I'm just keeping you grounded."At that moment, Marcelo, sitting on the couch and observing the scene, decided to join the conversation. "At least this

The streets of São Paulo were bustling, cars rushed by, and pedestrians hurried along the sidewalks. Helena looked at Leandro, a nervous smile playing on her lips as he adjusted his seatbelt."Ready to hit the pedals?" Leandro asked with evident enthusiasm in his voice.Helena nodded, albeit a bit uncertain. "Yes."The car's engine purred softly as they pulled onto the road. Helena watched the urban landscape pass by the window, skyscrapers and colorful buildings interspersed with trees and urban parks. The day was clear, with a vibrant blue sky, and the city's hustle and bustle seemed distant from the tranquility she sought.After driving through the busy streets for a while, they finally arrived at the specialized cycling store. The exterior was adorned with bicycles of different styles and colors, and the atmosphere was filled with energy and excitement. Leandro parked the

Weeks had passed, but upon seeing Bruno standing in front of her, the sensation was as if it were yesterday. Her heart involuntarily raced, and Helena had to make an effort not to show the surprise and emotion she felt. Those familiar eyes, that smile that used to brighten her days, everything was there before her.Leandro looked from Helena to Bruno, clearly confused by the situation. He stood up, his demeanor shifting from confidence to uncertainty. Helena felt her stomach tighten, her mind spinning to comprehend what was happening. Helena's ex-fiancé, sensing the tension in the air, stood up and cleared his throat gently, bringing Helena's attention back to reality. She stared at him for a moment before recomposing her expression, trying to understand what was going on."Hi, Bruno," she finally managed to say, her voice trembling. "What are you doing here?""Hi, Helena," Bruno said, his voice sounding somewhat nervous. "I was passing by, and... well, I decided to deliver this packa

Helena returned with her head down, her mind swirling around the enigma that the package represented. She stared at the printed address on the package, and a chill ran down her spine when she realized it was her home address, not the office address she had planned. A wave of confusion engulfed her, her memories colliding with what lay before her. She was sure she had put the office address, and she hadn't mailed the package because she had met Leandro that day. A mixture of despair and restlessness grew within her.An idea began to form in her mind, an idea that seemed absurd at first but gained strength with each passing second. Maybe Leandro had found the package and, in an attempt to help her or even protect her, had returned it in her place.

Anger took over her gaze, mixing with confusion and a sense of betrayal.Without thinking twice, Helena headed toward Leandro, who was leaning agains
