MARION
I must have been out of my mind. My mother had told me that lies eventually fade away, but at that moment, that saying didn't apply to my need to drive away my ex-husband, who had only been bothering me since our eyes met after I returned to the city.
"Alright, if you'll excuse us, we gotta go," I glared at Bruno and pulled Gil by the hand.
I didn't turn to look at him, but I knew he was furious. I knew Bruno so well that it was hard not to imagine him any other way. My heart was pounding violently, screaming, "what's wrong with you, you crazy woman?" in my chest, while my friend's hand was in mine and Bruno's gaze was fixed on my back. We crossed the crowd away from my ex's eyes, and I felt ashamed for dragging Gilberto into my love troubles without him having any part in it.
