    He was laid-back, always ready to support AmĂĄlia.

  • Depois, admitiu: “Talvez tenho tido o foco errado.

    Then, she admitted: “Maybe I had the wrong focus.

  • TambĂ©m adoro ler
 acho que sĂł queria mostrar que tambĂ©m sou boa.” Rui aproximou-se, percebendo a tensĂŁo a diminuir.

    I also love reading
 I think I just wanted to show that I'm good too.” Rui approached, sensing the tension diminishing.

  • “E se fizĂ©ssemos um desafio diferente?”, sugeriu ele.

    “What if we did a different challenge?” he suggested.

  • “Partilhamos os nossos livros preferidos apĂłs o verĂŁo.” AmĂĄlia e LĂșcia olharam-se.

  • Um sorriso surgiu nos rostos de ambas.
