"I am falling for you." he said as he cupped my face into his large hands.
I shook my head and pushed his hands away.
"No you're not. You don't know me. As far as I can tell, I'm just another girl who answered your Ad in the newspaper."

Mee...
She inhlaed and looked at me. "Tell me about yourself, Natália."
"Oh, what do you wanna know?"
She shrugged and crosses her legs. They look so shiny and smooth. What kind of shaving cream does she use?
"Everything, where you're from? Your age. Your ambitions in life. Todo."
I smile at her and push my hair back. "Well, I'm Brazilian. I am 23. I really hope to become a lawyer. I want to travel a little bit. The only places I've ever been to are Brazil and New York. I want to see the world. I want to, like, go to Brazil with the man that I love to show him my culture. And around my late twenties I would like to get married and have kids. I want my kids to have an amazing childhood because mine was terrible and I don't want them to go through what I went through."
She squinted her eyes a little. "What do you mean?"
I put my glass of wine on the coffee table. "Well, my dad was a very hard working man that I loved so much. He did everything he could to put a roof over our head, to put food on the table. Everyting changed when we had to move back to Brazil because my grandma was sick. She got better and we found out that my mom had cancer. My grandma had a heart attack when she found out and died. My mom died to years later because the cancer was spreading and there was no way to stop. My dad became abusive and hurt me a lot."
I didn't realize I was crying until Camille took a tissue from the coffee table and handed it to me. "Thank you."
"Come here." She opened her arms and I moved closer to her and hugged her back.
"You're a wonderful woman. I am so happy my son has find someone like you."
"Thank you." I close my eyes and hugged her tightly. I feel like I'm in my mother's embrace right now.
"Mom, Mark won't stop eating the lasagna!" Alaric hollered from the kitchen.
We both laughed and let go of each other.
