The commotion over the disappearance of Wikly's friends lasted a few more days, but nothing affected Constantino or Maya. Also, she was becoming stronger and even more beautiful. She smiled more and was organizing Chon's room and also the new trailer that Anastácia would use with her daughter.
At that moment, she was braiding her hair when Constantino appeared.
“Today, we're going out for dinner.” he said.
Maya recoiled. She preferred the safety of that place.
“Can’t we have dinner at Mori’s with your brother? I like her food.” Her voice came out low and hesitant.
Constantino sat next to her and pulled her onto his lap.
“It's safe out there, shorty. I want to take my fiancée out to dinner. I want to woo you. I want you to feel loved again.”
She already felt it, even with his change.
