  • Com um suspiro, Mateus guardou o telefone.

    With a sigh, Mateus put away his phone.

  • "Desculpe, é o hábito," disse.

  • Mateus hesitou.

    Mateus hesitated.

  • "Eu não sei, Camila..." "Confie em mim," ela insistiu com um brilho nos olhos.

    "I don't know, Camila..." "Trust me," she insisted with a sparkle in her eyes.
