9
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:57.320
months ago. In general, cleaning
toilets was not very interesting and I had

10
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:02.280
done so many times that I already
had an optimized routine. Spray disinfectant everywhere,

11
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.959
pour disinfectant in, Swallow, Swallow, Swallow, Swallow, Dry,

12
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.120
Dry, dry, run water,
all in less than two minutes if there

13
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.760
was a competition to clean toilets and
you would certainly win it. Not that

14
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.680
day, however, for the noises
of the cubicle next door kept distracting her.

15
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:30.560
I was pretty sure the girl there
was crying that or she was exercising.

16
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:38.280
Agitated breaths were heard, but what
kind of exercise could be done in

17
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:44.719
a bathroom cubicle, perhaps lifting the
knees. A suffocated sound was heard followed

18
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.000
by an acute moaning and the toilet
brush was released. No doubt that was

19
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.560
a sob. He supported the temple
against the side of the cubicle. He

20
00:01:53.599 --> 00:02:00.159
cleared his throat and asked Miss,
something happens to him, no, it

21
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.680
' s nothing. The young woman
responded, but her crying became more intense

22
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:12.599
before she stopped abruptly and became a
more suffocated breathing work in this hotel as

23
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:19.560
a cleaner. If someone has mistreated
her, I can help her. She

24
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.039
would have tried in any case,
as nothing angered her more than a stalker.

25
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:30.080
However, he could not afford to
lose his job. I' m

26
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.639
not okay. The door latch made
a noise and a few footprints rang against

27
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.120
the marble floor and popped the head
of her cubicle in time to see how

28
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:45.800
a beautiful young woman was walking towards
the sink, wearing the tallest and scariest

29
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.199
heels she had ever seen and a
tight red dress that ended right under her

30
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.879
ass. If the eyes could procreate, as I' m grandmother said,

31
00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:01.479
that girl would have gotten pregnant just
by putting a foot on the callé on

32
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.560
her side, and she had become
pregnant in high school, without the need

33
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:13.080
for a tiny dress or vertigo heels. At first he had resisted. Her

34
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.599
mother and grandmother had made it clear
to her that the studies were the first,

35
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:21.479
but that boy had chased her until
he got her into believing that it

36
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.240
was love. However, when she
had told her that she was pregnant,

37
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:30.080
instead of marrying her, she had
reluctantly offered to keep her as a lover.

38
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.400
She wasn' t the kind of
girl he wanted to introduce to his

39
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.240
family, high- class and surprise. He was engaged and planned to move

40
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.400
on with the wedding, of course, and had rejected it. And that

41
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:49.000
was a relief and a surprise to
him, the very cretin. That had

42
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.120
shattered the Day family, which had
placed much hope in it. But as

43
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.719
she had intuited, they supported her
in everything as well as their Baby,

44
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.919
the young girl in the red dress, washed her hands and wiped her cheeks

45
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:10.400
stained with rhyme before throwing the towel
on the countertop and retreating. I squeaked

46
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.560
yellow rubber gloves when he formed fists
with his hands. The towel basket was

47
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:21.040
right there grumbling for its insides.
He headed for the sink, cleaned the

48
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.680
countertop with the towel used by the
young woman and threw it into the basket.

49
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.519
A quick inspection praises the countertop,
mirror and pile of neatly folded towels.

50
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.079
He confirmed that everything was in perfect
condition, so he went back to

51
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.480
the last cubicle. The bathroom door
opened suddenly and another young woman ran in

52
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.480
with black hair up to her waist. The slender body, long legs and

53
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:51.600
dangerous heels were very similar to the
previous girl, except that her dress was

54
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.279
white. There would be some kind
of parade at the hotel and why this

55
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.920
girl was crying too. Miss,
you' re all right, she asked

56
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.879
and as she took a shaky step
towards her. The girl poured water on

57
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:13.920
her face. I' m fine, he leaned his wet hands on the

58
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.439
granite countertop, which created a puddle
that he would then have to clean and

59
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:21.920
observe his reflection in the mirror while
doing several deep breaths. I thought she

60
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:28.319
' d pick me. I was
so confident why ask that question if I

61
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:32.160
didn' t want to listen.
The answer is a cheat and he turned

62
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.639
his gaze from the drops of fresh
water on the countertop and fixed it on

63
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:43.199
the girl' s face. What
a woman to choose for what. The

64
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:48.160
girl inspected the hotel uniform with her
eyes and blanked her eyes. You wouldn

65
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:54.040
' t understand. dy' s
back got tense and his skin blushed with

66
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.839
shame. I had already received that
look and heard that tone of voice.

67
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.720
I used to know what they meant. Before she came up with a proper

68
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:09.399
answer, the girl had disappeared and
by the girl' s grandfather and all

69
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:15.000
her other ancestors, another towel had
been wrinkled on the countertop and headed towards

70
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.560
the sink. He cleaned up the
mess that the young woman had left and

71
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.639
threw the towel into the basket.
Well, he actually tried it because he

72
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:28.480
pointed wrong and the towel landed on
the ground resplendent with frustration. He went

73
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.399
to pick it up just as his
gloved fingers closed on the cloth. The

74
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:40.439
door opened again and looked up.
If she was another spoiled, whining girl,

75
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.759
she' d go to another bathroom
at the other end of the hotel,

76
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.920
but she wasn' t. A
slightly older woman of fatigued appearance went

77
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:55.079
silently to the living room located at
one end of the bathroom and sat on

78
00:06:55.079 --> 00:07:00.319
one of the small velvet sofas with
just a glance s and knew it was

79
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:08.199
a bit qut, a combination of
elements. She gave her authentic and huge

80
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:13.560
Louis Witton bag, her expensive dress
and her feet, with her fingernails neat,

81
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.800
with manicure and her fingers perfectly free
of calluses. Those sandals had to

82
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:23.720
belong to an overseas Vietnamese woman.
Those people left very generous tips. For

83
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:30.199
any reason, the money practically emanated
from them. Maybe Il' s lucky

84
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:35.959
day threw the towel in the basket
and approached the woman. I can help

85
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:43.399
you with something. The woman gestured
to dismiss the question. Just let me

86
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:49.240
know Enjoy your time. Here is
a very nice toilet room. He made

87
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:54.480
a grimace wishing he hadn' t
said those last words and turned back to

88
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.000
the toilets. I couldn' t
figure out why they had a living room

89
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.519
in the bathroom. Evidently, it
was a very nice place, but why

90
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.720
relax in a place where you could
hear people doing their things. He finished

91
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.240
his job. He supported the bucket
of cleaning products on the floor next to

92
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.439
the washbasins and carried out a final
inspection of the bathroom. One of the

93
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.199
hand towels had unwrapped a bit,
so he shook it, rolled it up

94
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.360
again and leaned on the pile next
to the others. Then he repositioned the

95
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:31.200
box of ready paper handkerchiefs. Everything
was presentable, he bowed to take his

96
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.679
bucket, but before his fingers were
closed on the handle, the woman said

97
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:43.080
why you put the clinex box that
way and straightened himself. He looked at

98
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.799
the box of paper handkerchiefs and then
bowed his head towards the woman, because

99
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.799
the hotel so desires. Ma'
am, a thoughtful expression pierced the woman

100
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.000
' s face. After a second
she gestured there to get closer and patted

101
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.759
her in the space next to her
on the couch come talk to me for

102
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:07.879
a while call me Carol and sketched
a smile of confusion, but she did

103
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.120
what the woman had asked and sat
next to her with her back straight,

104
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.720
her hands interlaced and her knees together
as if she were the most virgin virgin

105
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:22.919
of all. Your grandmother would have
been proud. Eyes of insightful look on

106
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.480
a pale powdered face. They evaluated
her with the same care she had just

107
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.200
inspected the bathroom countertop and kept her
feet together in a forced manner and gave

108
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.240
the woman her best smile. After
reading the name of her badge, the

109
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:46.679
woman said so that your name is
trn NGS. Yes, Mrs Cleansings,

110
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:52.399
baths here, what else you do. Her smile threatened to fade, so

111
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.799
she made an effort to keep it
on her face. He also cleaned the

112
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.440
guest rooms, so that means making
more bathrooms, changing the sheets, making

113
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:09.200
the beds, vacuuming. That kind
of thing. It was not what she

114
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.080
had dreamed of doing when she was
younger, but she provided support and made

115
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.759
sure to do a good job.
Ah, that' s Mestiza. The

116
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.840
woman bowed forward, took the chin
and raised her face. You have green

117
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:31.600
eyes and held your breath and tried
to figure out what the woman would think

118
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.080
about it. Sometimes it was a
good thing, but usually it wasn'

119
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.519
t. It was much better to
be Mestiza. When you had money,

120
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:46.039
the woman frowned. How can it
be here? There have been no American

121
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.759
soldiers since the war and he shrugged
his shoulders. My mother says he was

122
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:58.919
a businessman. I never met him. According to that story, his mother

123
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.600
had been his housekeeper and something else. At the same time, his romance

124
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.559
was over when his labor project ended
and he left the country. It wasn

125
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.919
' t until later that her mother
found out she was pregnant and by then

126
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.399
it was too late. She had
not known how to find him and had

127
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.600
had no choice but to return home
to live with her family, and had

128
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.559
always thought that she would succeed in
doing things better than her mother, but

129
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:31.480
somehow she had managed to follow exactly
her own steps. The woman nodded and

130
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:37.240
squeezed her arm. Once you'
ve just moved to the city, you

131
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.360
don' t show up from around
here and he turned his eyes and his

132
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.080
smile faded away. He had grown
up with very little money, but it

133
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:46.960
wasn' t until he got to
the big city that he realized how poor

134
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.200
he was. We actually moved in
a couple of months ago because I got

135
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.960
a job here so obvious is the
woman patted him there on the cheek,

136
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:05.159
in a strangely affectionate way. She' s still a naive country girl from

137
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.919
where you' re from a nearby
haitó village by the river. The woman

138
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:18.799
outlined a broad smile. I knew
I liked you places make people. I

139
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:26.080
grew up there until I called my
restaurant and Tonudels is a very good restaurant

140
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.600
located in California. They talk about
him on television and in magazines, although

141
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.600
I guess you haven' t heard
of him here. He sighed for himself

142
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:43.759
before his eyes narrowed and asked how
old you look twenty- three years younger.

143
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:50.240
Carol said laughing but she' s
a good age, a good age

144
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.480
for what. But he didn'
t ask the question with us improperly.

145
00:12:54.919 --> 00:13:01.440
She was ready to give up the
conversation. Maybe a real city girl would

146
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.200
have retired by now. The toilets
didn' t clean themselves.“ You

147
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.960
have ever thought about going to America,” Carol asked and shook her head,

148
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.360
but it was a child’ s
lie. She had fantasized about living

149
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.600
in a place where she didn'
t stand out and where she could meet

150
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:24.240
her green- eyed father. But
there was more than an ocean between bit

151
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.000
Nam and North America and the more
she grew older. It had become that

152
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:35.240
distance.“ You are married,” the woman asked. You have a

153
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.399
boyfriend. No, I don'
t have a husband or boyfriend. He

154
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:43.480
passed his hands through his thighs and
grabbed his knees. What did that woman

155
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.879
want? I' d read horrifying
stories about strangers. That woman was trying

156
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.720
to trick her into selling her into
prostitution in Cambodia. Don' t worry.

157
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.279
I have good intentions. Look,
let me show you something. The

158
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:09.200
woman scrambled in her huge Louis Beiton
bag until she found a folder. Then

159
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.240
he took a photograph and handed it
over to her there. This is my

160
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.679
youngest son I diego is handsome,
right and I didn' t want to

161
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.159
look. Actually, it didn'
t matter to that unknown man who lived

162
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.879
in California' s paradise, but
he decided to please the woman. I

163
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.320
' d look at the photograph and
do the necessary compliments. I' d

164
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.600
tell Carol that her son looked like
a movie star and then find some excuse

165
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.720
to retire. However, when he
looked at the photograph, his body became

166
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:46.000
paralyzed like the sky just before a
storm. She really looked like a movie

167
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.039
star. He was a very attractive
man with sexy hair, brushed by the

168
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:56.000
wind and features strong and well outlined, but the most captivating of all was

169
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.960
the calm intensity emanating from him.
Her lips sketched the glimpse of a smile,

170
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.799
as her gaze centered on something to
the side and suddenly she found herself

171
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:13.919
leaning towards the photo. If he
went to an actor, all the roles

172
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.879
of fearless hero would be his,
like Guardespaldas or Kung Fu' s Master.

173
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.240
He made you wonder what he'
d be thinking so intensely about what

174
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:30.440
his story was or why he didn' t openly smile ah so he approves.

175
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.639
Carol smiled satisfied. I told you
he was handsome and blinked like he

176
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:41.320
was coming out of a trance and
returned the photograph to the woman. That

177
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.759
' s right, someday I'
d make a lucky girl very happy and

178
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.759
share together a lucky and lasting life. I wish they would suffer from food

179
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.879
poisoning in bad condition, even if
it was only once nothing that would put

180
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:02.919
their lives at risk. Of course, just something settled down. Rather,

181
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:10.840
very uncomfortable, a little painful and
also embarrassing. Besides, he' s

182
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:18.279
smart and smart. He attended the
university and managed to smile It' s

183
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.240
awesome. I' d be so
proud if I had a son like him.

184
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:27.320
Her mother, on the other hand, had a daughter who cleaned toilets,

185
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:32.080
put aside her bitterness and remembered keeping
her head down and carrying on with

186
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:37.879
her chores. Envy would give him
nothing but misery, but whatever it was,

187
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:42.639
he wanted more poisoning problems. There
had to be some justice in the

188
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:48.720
world. I' m so proud
of him. Carol said. I'

189
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:56.799
m actually here for him to find
him a wife ah and frowned. I

190
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:02.200
didn' t know Americans were doing
that I thought it was terribly old-

191
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:07.640
fashioned. They don' t and
Calette would be upset if she found out,

192
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.079
but I have to do something.
His older brother is very successful with

193
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.160
women and I don' t have
to worry about him. But Calette is

194
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.799
twenty- six and hasn' t
had a girlfriend yet. When he arranged

195
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.680
dates, he didn' t show
up. When the girls call him,

196
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:27.039
he hangs up the calls. During
the next summer we will have three weddings

197
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:33.319
in our family, three, but
one is not yours and since you do

198
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:34.960
not know how to find a wife, I decided to do so. I,

199
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:41.039
instead, have been interviewing candidates all
day, and none of them meet

200
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:48.039
my expectations, and they' ve
been blushing all those girls who were crying.

201
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:55.839
Caroldes considered his comment. They'
re crying because they' re ashamed

202
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:57.799
of themselves. They' ll be
all right. I had to know if

203
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:03.839
his intentions to marry my son were
real and they weren' t. They

204
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:08.359
seemed to really want it. Anyway, they didn' t pretend to cry

205
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:14.519
in the bathroom and what about you. Carol re- evaluated it with a

206
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:19.960
look at what she meant. You' re interested in marrying my calet and

207
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:26.640
you looked behind her before pointing out
your own chest. I, Carola felt

208
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:33.359
yes, you' ve drawn my
attention to my eyes and enlarged why.

209
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:41.400
Like if I could read her mind, Carol said you' re a good,

210
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.480
hardworking, beautiful girl. In an
unusual way, I think I could

211
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:51.200
trust you with my calette. All
he could do was keep looking at her.

212
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.640
Perhaps the chemical vapors in the cleaning
products had damaged his brain. You

213
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:03.160
want me to marry your son.
If we don' t know each other,

214
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:08.599
maybe you like me. He shook
his head still unable to understand what

215
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:15.119
was happening. She cleaned toilets for
a living, but probably doesn' t

216
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:22.279
like her son. It looks like
someone demanding and I didn' t,

217
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.319
uh, no, it didn'
t interrupt. Carol' s not demanding.

218
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.759
He' s shy and stubborn.
He thinks he doesn' t want

219
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.400
to have a family. However,
all she needs is a young woman who

220
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:41.599
is stubborner than him. You'
d have to make him change his mind

221
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.400
how he could. I already know
you had fun taking care of him,

222
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:51.119
cook him whatever he likes, do
what he wants and he couldn' t

223
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.079
help but make a face and Carol
surprised her with her laugh. That'

224
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:59.480
s why I like you. You
can' t help being yourself. What

225
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:04.839
do you think I could offer you
to spend a summer in North America to

226
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:07.480
see if you' re compatible.
If it wasn' t. No problem

227
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:12.400
you go home and at least you
will have attended all the weddings of our

228
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:18.440
family and you will have enjoyed the
food and give the fun. How about

229
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:26.039
me myself, and he didn'
t know what to say. That was

230
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.359
all too much for her. One
more thing, Carol' s look became

231
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:37.039
cautious and paused long before adding.
He doesn' t want kids, but

232
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.720
I' m determined to have grandchildren. If you get pregnant, I know

233
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:47.279
he' ll do the right thing
and marry you no matter what happens between

234
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:53.240
you. I' d even give
you money Twenty thousand American dollars You'

235
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.319
d do that for me. The
air escaped from I' s lungs and

236
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:02.119
his skin became icy. Caro wanted
her to get pregnant with her son by

237
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:08.559
force and force him to marry.
Disillusionment devastated her for a moment. She

238
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:12.599
had believed that the woman had seen
something special in her, but Carol had

239
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:17.920
judged her for reasons she could not
control, as the girls in the tight

240
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.559
dresses had done. The other girls
said it wasn' t like that.

241
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:30.519
You thought I' d accept because
you pointed your uniform with the palm of

242
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.680
your hand open. Carol said nothing
and her gaze stood firm and stood up

243
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:40.880
and headed for her bucket of cleaning
products. He opened the door and stopped

244
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.160
at the threshold with his gaze fixed
forward. He said my answer is no.

245
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:51.400
She had no money, contact her
education, but she could be as

246
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:56.400
stubborn and foolish, as she wished, that her rejection would go deep and

247
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.599
without looking back. He retired that
night, after his one- hour walk

248
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.640
home, the same one he did
twice a day, and tiptoeed into his

249
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.559
one- room apartment and collapsed into
the carpet part, where he slept at

250
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:15.039
night. I had to get ready
to go to bed, but first I

251
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.880
wanted to have a moment to do
nothing, just nothing. Nothing. It

252
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.559
was a magnificent luxury. His pocket
vibrated and ruined his moment of nothing.

253
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:32.759
With a sigh of frustration, he
picked up the phone number unknown. He

254
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.359
thought he wouldn' t answer,
but something made him touch the drop button

255
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:42.880
and support the phone against the Ear
hello and it' s you and he

256
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:48.039
was confused by the voice. Although
it was somewhat familiar to her, she

257
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:56.279
hadn' t just figured out who
she was, who I am, Carol

258
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.960
didn' t hang up quickly added
the woman. I asked the hotel manager

259
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:06.480
for your number. I wanted to
talk to you with my fingers and they

260
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:11.480
held the phone tighter and sat down
more straight. I have nothing more to

261
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:17.799
say. You haven' t changed
your mind and resisted the urge to throw

262
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:23.160
the phone against the wall.“
No good,” Carol frowned and lowered

263
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:30.240
her phone and stared at it.
Well, he backed the phone back against

264
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:34.039
the ear. Just in time to
hear Cohen Ege say it was a test.

265
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:37.799
I don' t want you to
fool my son into having a baby.

266
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:47.119
I just needed to know what kind
of person you are and that means

267
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.440
it means you. You' re
the one I' m looking for and

268
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:56.359
Greek come to America to see my
son you' ll have all summer to

269
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.519
conquer him and attend his cousins'
weddings you' ll need that time.

270
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.480
It' ll be hard to get
to know him, but it' ll

271
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.920
be worth it. He' s
a good boy. If anyone can do

272
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:11.440
it, I think it' s
you. If you want it clear what

273
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:17.039
you think of the head and it
started to spin. I don' t

274
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:22.720
know. I need time to think. Then think about it and call me,

275
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:26.519
but don' t take too long. I need to do the visa

276
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:32.440
paperwork and get you a plane ticket. Carol said, I' ll be

277
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:37.480
waiting for your call. After that, the communication to the other side of

278
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.359
the room was cut off. A
lamp blinked and lit with a soft,

279
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.759
golden glow. The space reduced and
messy. The clothes and kitchen utensils hung

280
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:51.720
from the walls and covered every square
inch of cracked brick that was not occupied

281
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:56.960
by the old electric oven, fridge
and tiny television with which they used to

282
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:06.720
watch illegal copies of American films canfui
series. The central space of the floor

283
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:10.720
was occupied by the sleeping bodies of
his daughter, solace and her grandmother.

284
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.599
Her mother was between her grandmother and
the oven, with her hand over the

285
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:22.759
lamp switch a fan. He threw
wet air at them at maximum speed.

286
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:30.920
Who he was whispered his mother a
bitchio answered and almost without believing his own

287
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.200
words, he wants me to go
to North America and marry his son.

288
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:38.440
Her mother sat on a elbow and
her hair fell like a silk curtain on

289
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:44.319
her shoulder. She only left her
hair loose when she went to bed,

290
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:49.559
and that made her appear ten years
younger than your grandfather. It' s

291
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:55.799
disgusting. What a flaw he has
at the time. The day phone vibrated

292
00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:02.119
with a message from Carol to help
you think about another vibration and Caleta'

293
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:07.599
s photograph appeared on the screen the
same image as before and gave the phone

294
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:12.079
to her mother without uttering a word
is this one asked her mother with very

295
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:18.200
open eyes is called diego. Her
mother watched the image for a long time

296
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:23.480
immobile, except for the soft sighs
of her breathing. In the end,

297
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:29.759
he returned his phone. There'
s no selection there. You must,

298
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.559
but he doesn' t want to
get married. I' m supposed to

299
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:41.240
convince him to change his mind and
I don' t know how to just

300
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.759
do it Do what you have to
do is North America and Greek. You

301
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.720
have to do it for her.
Her mother stretched her hand over Grandma'

302
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.119
s fragile silhouette and pulled the blanket
to cover comfort up to her neck.

303
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:59.759
If I had had that chance,
I would have done it for you for

304
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:06.000
your future. She doesn' t
fit in here and needs a father and

305
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:11.720
squeezed her teeth while her childhood memories
were trying to escape from the corner of

306
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.400
her mind, where she had locked
them up. I could still hear the

307
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:22.119
boys sing him a mestizo girl from
the twelve ass as I returned from school.

308
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:29.240
Her childhood had been difficult, but
she had prepared her for life now

309
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.279
was stronger, more resilient. I
didn' t have a father. Her

310
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:38.079
mother' s eyes got colder and
look where that led you and look at

311
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:45.960
the girl. She also made me
have her She regretted having been with the

312
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.920
heartless father of her daughter, but
never having had her even for an instant.

313
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.000
He moved away from the hacienda.
The girl a few locks, moist

314
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:00.039
of soft hair and an immense feeling
of love. It spreads through his heart.

315
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.279
Contemplating her daughter' s face was
like looking in a mirror that reflected

316
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:10.519
her. Twenty years ago, her
daughter was exactly as she had been.

317
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:15.960
Her. They had the same eyebrows, nose cheekbones and skin tone. Even

318
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:21.519
the shape of her lips was the
same, but Consuelo was much, much

319
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:26.640
sweeter than she had been and would
do anything for that little girl except surrender.

320
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.359
Once Consuelo’ s father was married, his wife discovered that she could

321
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:38.480
not conceive babies and had offered to
raise Consuelo as her own daughter. Once

322
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:45.160
again, she had rejected an offer
that everyone expected her to accept. They

323
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:52.039
called her selfish. His family could
give Consuelo all the things she needed,

324
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:59.720
but what happened to love. Love
mattered and no one could love his child

325
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:07.000
like her. No one felt it
in his heart even now and then worried

326
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.319
that he had done the wrong thing.“ If you don’ t like

327
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.920
him,” his mother said,“ you can divorce once you’ ve

328
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.759
got the residency and marry someone else” I can' t marry him just

329
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.359
because of the visa. He was
a person, not some papers, and

330
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:27.279
if I decided to marry her,
it would be because I had already managed

331
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:30.920
to seduce him, because he loved
her. I wasn' t gonna use

332
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.279
someone that way. That would only
make her as despicable as Consuelo' s

333
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:40.880
father. His mother felt as if
she could hear the thoughts in her head.

334
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.680
What happens if you decide to go
and you can' t change your

335
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:48.759
mind, I' ll come back
at the end of the summer a sound

336
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.000
of disgust. He escaped from the
bottom of his mother' s throat.

337
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.799
I can' t believe you need
to think about it. You have nothing

338
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.799
to lose. While I was looking
at the black screen on his phone.

339
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:06.880
One thought assaulted her. Carol said
he doesn' t want to have a

340
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.440
family and I have Consuelo. His
mother blanked her eyes. What a young

341
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.319
man wants a family. If he
loves you, he' ll love Consuelo.

342
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:19.839
It doesn' t work that way. And you know it. If

343
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:25.519
a man finds out you have a
child, he usually loses interest and if

344
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:30.480
he keeps the interest, all he
wanted was sex, then don' t

345
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.119
tell him right away. Give her
time to fall in love with you and

346
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:40.799
tell her later, her mother insisted
and shook her head. I don'

347
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:42.319
t think that' s right.
If he tells you he loves you,

348
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:47.519
but he doesn' t want to
get married because you have a daughter,

349
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.000
then you won' t love him
either. But this woman knows her son

350
00:30:52.079 --> 00:31:00.039
and she chose you. You have
to try, at least you' ve

351
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.960
spent a whole summer in North America. You know how lucky you are.

352
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:10.279
You don' t want to know
America where she lives. He told me

353
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:15.559
that in California, but I don' t think I can be out for

354
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:17.839
so long and he passed his fingers
down his little girl' s soft cheek.

355
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.319
She had never been away from home
for more than a day, and

356
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:27.359
if comfort thought she had abandoned her, her mother wrinkled her forehead as she

357
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.599
thought and stood up to dig into
a pile of boxes she kept in a

358
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:37.839
corner. They were his personal belongings
and no one had permission to touch them

359
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:44.720
when he was little and he used
to snoop between those boxes, especially the

360
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.240
one below. So when his mother
opened up, just that one and looked

361
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:55.880
inside the spinning heart at full speed. That' s where your father comes

362
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:02.160
from. Her mother gave a photograph
to Amarillen who appeared herself and a man

363
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:07.079
who hugged her by the shoulders,
and had spent countless hours looking at that

364
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.880
image, holding it close to her, contemplating her backwards or with her eyes

365
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.480
narrowed, doing anything to confirm that
the man' s were green and that

366
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:22.960
he was really her father. But
nothing worked. They had taken the photograph

367
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:27.799
from too far away and their eyes
could be of any color. If she

368
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:32.119
was honest with herself, they looked
brown. However, the phrase that was

369
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:37.519
printed on the shirt was easy to
read. It clearly said calber clay.

370
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:45.359
That' s what corporal asked and
California, his mother nodded I looked for

371
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:52.359
it is a famous university. Maybe
when you' re there you can go

372
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:57.440
see her, maybe you can try
to find her. The heart hurt a

373
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.960
jump so sudden that it felt a
tickle or, but fingers.“ You

374
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:07.640
will finally tell me his name,” he asked“ His voice was a

375
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:12.480
faint whisper. All he knew was
that they called him fel. That was

376
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:19.839
the name her grandmother whispered with hate
when she was alone there. That Felt,

377
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:24.640
Mr Fell, your ugly mother,
a smile of bitterness, drew on

378
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:30.839
her mother' s lips. He
said his full name was Ugly. Everybody

379
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:37.640
called him Feld. I think his
last name started with him. The dey

380
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:42.799
hopes were shattered before, even to
take shape, then it is impossible.

381
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:47.400
His mother' s expression became determined. You won' t know until you

382
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:54.799
try. If in college they use
computers of those expensive ones, maybe they

383
00:33:54.920 --> 00:34:00.599
can give you a list if you
work hard. There is a position and

384
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:05.559
he stared at his father' s
photograph and felt the nostalgia in his chest

385
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:09.960
getting bigger and bigger with every second
he went through. He' d be

386
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:15.440
living in California. How she would
react if she opened the door and saw

387
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:21.760
it, accused her of showing up
to ask for money, or would be

388
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.199
happy to find a daughter she didn' t know she had. And he

389
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:28.519
opened the camera on the phone and
held both images, side by side over

390
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.559
his lap. What Carol had seen
in her that had made her think she

391
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:38.280
was a good candidate for her son. He' d think the same thing

392
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:44.400
and accept Consuelo. I' d
take her. His own father, however

393
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:50.800
his mother was right, wouldn'
t know until he tried both and wrote

394
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:58.039
a text message to Carol and sent
it. Yeah, I want to try.

395
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:02.280
I will. He told his mother. He tried to sound confident,

396
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.719
but he trembled inside what he had
just accepted. I knew you would,

397
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:12.599
and I' m glad to take
good care of Consuelo. As long as

398
00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:17.280
you' re not now get some
sleep. You still have to work tomorrow.

399
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.400
The light went out, but after
everything was plunged into darkness, his

400
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:29.039
mother added she should know that,
having only one summer. You don'

401
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:32.360
t have time to do things the
traditional way. You have to play to

402
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:37.360
win, even if I' m
not sure I want to be with him

403
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:44.079
as long as he' s not
evil, love can thrive and remember good

404
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:47.280
girls don' t get the man. You have to be bad and Greek

405
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.679
and he swallowed saliva. He had
an idea of what bad meant and was

406
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:55.039
surprised that his mother dared to suggest
it to him. When his grandmother was

407
00:35:55.039 --> 00:36:05.320
in the room scene two present,
when the sports shoes of cay touched the

408
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:08.000
cracked concrete of the entrance that led
to his dejected house of his nibal,

409
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:14.840
which never managed to fix. The
timer on his watch began to ring for

410
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:22.440
15 minutes. Well there was nothing
as satisfactory as the round increments of time,

411
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:28.480
except to arrive at whole cyfas in
dollars when charging fuel at the gas

412
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.400
station or when the restaurant account was
a prime number or a segment of the

413
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:37.239
fibonax sequence consisted only of pure eights. The eight was such an elegant number.

414
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:43.239
If I added a minute to the
time I had run, I could

415
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.719
set a checkpoint in the middle.
It wouldn' t be fun. He

416
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:52.440
was mentally reviewing his daily journey when
he realized that the black ducati was parked

417
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:57.280
on the sidewalk next to his porch
dotted with bird feces. Juan was there

418
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:00.639
and had driven that, even though
his mother would hate him and Kay would

419
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:07.000
have warned him on multiple occasions about
the statistics of death and brain damage.

420
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:14.360
Kai swerved to avoid the bike,
ran to the front door, dodged the

421
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:17.239
thorny bush growing uncontrollably in the shade
under the eaves and entered the house.

422
00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:24.320
Once inside he took off his shoes
and socks immediately. For him, paradise

423
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:29.440
was to feel as barefoot feet sank
upon the carpet of the seventies of his

424
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:36.440
house. At first I had hated
her the green pea color. It was

425
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:40.039
offensive, but walking on it was
like walking on the clouds like Mary Pppens

426
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:45.760
used to smell strange, but time
had fixed that aspect, or maybe he

427
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:51.880
had just gotten used to that smell
of naphthalina balls and old lady, would

428
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:57.719
keep the carpet until Santa Clara County
officially declared the house in ruins. There

429
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.400
was Ouan sitting on the chair of
SNS houses with his feet resting on the

430
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:06.760
coffee table watching a finance program at
CNBC. As he drank the only can

431
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:10.639
of cold coke that remained for Kai
he could see the drops of condensation fall

432
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:15.880
on the italic letter. As in
advertising, the rest of his cans were

433
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:21.039
at room temperature because he only had
one in the fridge. The rest of

434
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:23.639
the space was occupied by the tapers
full of his mother' s food,

435
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:29.519
who thought that if she did not
feed him herself, her son would die

436
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.360
of hunger and faithful to. His
style never did anything in half.“

437
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:39.639
Hey you are home, how are
you,” Wan asked. Then he

438
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:45.679
gave a long drink to his soda
and casseo. As the bubbles went down

439
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:52.840
his throat. Well Kai looked at
his brother with narrow eyes. The burning

440
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.639
sensation of the cold tail in her
throat was one of her favorite things.

441
00:38:55.800 --> 00:39:00.920
And now I' d have to
wait four hours until a new one was

442
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:06.719
ready for you to come. No
idea. Mom told me to come.

443
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:13.159
Apparently, she' s on her
way too. He saw a meaningless errand

444
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:19.480
cataract in his near future. What
it would be like this time to drive

445
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:24.440
to the San Jose food store to
buy oranges on offer or import commercial quantities

446
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:30.679
of kelp extract from Japan to cure
your aunt' s cancer. It didn

447
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:36.119
' t have to be any worse, because she needed her two children to

448
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:40.400
be present. I couldn' t
even imagine what it could be I have

449
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:46.280
to take a shower. Kai had
wet, sticky clothes and wanted to take

450
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:51.760
them off. You' ll have
to hurry. I just heard someone stop

451
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:58.199
at the entrance. Juan looked closely
here and raised his eyebrows you just came

452
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:02.480
running home from work dressed in a
suit. I do it every day.

453
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:10.880
This model is made for movement.
He pointed to the elastic cuffs of the

454
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:15.039
ankles and the fabric allows air to
enter. It can also be washed in

455
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:20.199
the washing machine. Wan smiled and
drank another sip of his stolen tail.

456
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:23.920
So my brother' s been running
down the streets of sealecken Bally like a

457
00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:30.800
damn Asian terminator. I like that
strange reference. He made Cai doubt and

458
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:36.039
just as he was opening his mouth
to answer a familiar voice outside the house.

459
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:40.000
He announced in Vietnamese of nyd come
I have a lot of food.

460
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.280
Help me get her in. Her
mother never spoke English unless she was forced

461
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:52.559
to do so. He basically only
spoke in English with the public health inspector

462
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:59.039
at his restaurant. He asked for
a street in English. He didn'

463
00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:06.280
t really know the Vietnamese, although
he understood it enough. I still have

464
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:10.000
a lot of food. I'
ll start feeding the poor and you go

465
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.639
on. Her mother appeared on the
threshold of the door with a proud smile

466
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:20.719
and three boxes of mangoes hello with
how she didn' t want her back

467
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:25.280
damaged, kept her socks in her
pockets and took the boxes not as fruit

468
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:31.719
remember will be spoiled. I was
almost walking out the door with the boxes

469
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:36.840
when she said no, no,
they' re not for you. They

470
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:39.320
' re over there, so I
don' t miss your home too much.

471
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:47.400
Quay paused. Who the hell will
be there when he stood up?

472
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:53.559
First, help me get more fruit
in. Then he ordered Kai to put

473
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:58.760
all that in the kitchen. What
brought the boxes to the kitchen in a

474
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:02.360
state of absolute cash. Why were
those fruit boxes in her house when they

475
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:09.000
were supposed to keep me from whoever
it was from feeling nostalgic. He left

476
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:14.239
them on the formica countertop and noticed
that there were three different varieties of mango,

477
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:19.199
some large red and green, some
medium yellow and some small green in

478
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:25.920
a box that had Thai inscriptions.
Maybe his mother bought him some kind of

479
00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:31.079
monkey that only ate fruit. Why
would I do that to her. He

480
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:36.840
didn' t even like dogs or
cats and why he was taking so long.

481
00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:40.320
Anne in the boxes. Quay went
out to investigate and found her brother

482
00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:45.480
and mother plunged into a serious conversation
with the Cambry, overwhelmed by her the

483
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:51.320
previous year, that there her brother
had raised money to buy her a lexus

484
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.880
SUV for mother' s day,
but she insisted on driving her two-

485
00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:02.400
decade- old toyota unless it was
a special occasion. Kay didn' t

486
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:09.719
see anyone sitting inside any and Mom, this isn' t right. We

487
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:14.880
' re in America, people don' t do this kind of thing.

488
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:20.239
He pointed to and sounded more exasperated
than usual with his mother, for things

489
00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:24.079
could not go on as they were. I had to do something and you

490
00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:29.840
have to support me. He listens
to you. Juán looked up at the

491
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:36.840
sky. He listens to me because
I' m reasonable and this isn'

492
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:40.280
t so helpful as your father.
Amos let me down when I need you.

493
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:45.559
He protested his mother, your brother
is the only one I can trust.

494
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:50.440
Always. Juan snorted and rubbed his
face and shaved head with his hands

495
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:54.239
before taking three more boxes of fruit
out of the trunk. When he saw

496
00:43:54.360 --> 00:44:01.679
Kai, he stopped halfway ready.
Then he brought the fruit inside. The

497
00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:07.840
thing was beginning to be disturbing in
Kai' s mind. The hypothetical jungle

498
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:13.920
monkey became a giant male gorilla.
Those fruits were likely to feed a creature

499
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:17.679
like that for just one day.
If he looked on the bright side,

500
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:23.639
he wouldn' t need to pay
for his house to be demolished and maybe

501
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:30.840
he could even claim the owner'
s insurance because of the sinister angry gorilla

502
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:31.920
looking for mangoes, grab the jacka
and come in I need to talk to

503
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:37.920
you. He ordered his mother,
Kay lifted up the thorny jak devils weighing

504
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:40.920
about 13 kilos and followed her to
his kitchen, where Wan had already placed

505
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:44.920
other boxes next to the mangoes and
had sat on the kitchen table with his

506
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:52.679
cola soda. Concerned about the firmness
of his worktop, Kai carefully deposited the

507
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:57.360
lock next to the other fruits.
Seeing that the countertop did not collapse immediately

508
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:06.480
sighed of relief. Her mother frowned
at the cuisine of the seventies. That

509
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:12.480
look of dissatisfaction was manual. If
he compared his old facial expression cards to

510
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:16.360
his mother' s face at the
time, they fit perfectly.“ You

511
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:22.440
have to get a new house,” she said. This one' s

512
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.480
too old and you should take all
those exercise machines out of the living room.

513
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:32.159
Only single people live like this cay
was single, so I didn'

514
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:36.280
t see what the problem was.
This location is convenient for me to go

515
00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:40.039
to work and I like to exercise. While I watch TV. His mother

516
00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:46.119
dismissed his comment and muttered. This
boy came through a prolonged silence that was

517
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:51.639
only interrupted by the sips of coca
cola, the coke tail of Kai Cursed.

518
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:55.079
When he couldn' t stand it
anymore, he looked first at his

519
00:45:55.119 --> 00:46:00.800
brother and then at his mother and
asked so who is yes because of what

520
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:07.119
he knew and meant beautiful, but
it was also, as North America was

521
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:13.599
called in Vietnamese Anyway, it seemed
still strange name for a gorilla, but

522
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:17.880
who knew. Her mother straightened her
shoulders is the young girl you must pick

523
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:22.880
up at the airport on Saturday night. Oh, that' s fine.

524
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:27.079
It wasn' t that big a
deal. He didn' t like the

525
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:30.920
idea of taking someone he didn'
t know and changing his schedules, but

526
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.599
he was glad he didn' t
have to take rabies vaccinations or have to

527
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:38.039
apply for a permit from the Food
and Drug Administration. Send me your flight

528
00:46:38.119 --> 00:46:44.119
schedules, and I' ve got
to take you there. He' ll

529
00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:50.079
stay here with you. He answered
why Kai' s whole body was tense

530
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:54.480
to the idea. That was a
full- fledged invasion.“ Don’

531
00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:59.639
t be so upset,” she
replied with a persuasive tone. She'

532
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:02.760
s young and she' s very
pretty. Kai looked at Wan why she

533
00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:08.679
can' t stay with you You
like women. Wan choked on the soda

534
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:14.480
and hit his chest with his fist, while coughing his mother looked disapprovedly at

535
00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:20.760
Wan before focusing on Cai and straightening
herself completely to her height of one metre

536
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:25.840
fifty. She can' t stay
with Juan, because she' s your

537
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:31.880
future wife. Kai let go of
a laugh. That had to be a

538
00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:37.679
joke, but he did not understand
where grace was I chose it for You.

539
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:42.079
When I went to Vietnam, you' ll like it.“ It

540
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.880
is perfect for You,” added
I not,“ You cannot. Me.

541
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:53.280
Kai shook his head seriously with Wan
nodding. I reacted, too.

542
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:59.639
So, he got you a custom
wife in Vietnam. Kai, his mother

543
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:02.639
was a no to Wan with the
look. Why do you make it sound

544
00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:07.519
so bad. She' s not
a custom wife. I met her in

545
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:13.639
person. That' s how it
used to be. If I had followed

546
00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:16.920
tradition, I would have found you
a wife the same way. But you

547
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:22.360
don' t need help. Your
brother, yes, Kai didn' t

548
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:27.639
even try to talk. His brain
had suffered a short circuit and refused to

549
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:32.239
respond. I bought him all kinds
of fruit. She moved the boxes on

550
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:39.639
the lychees rambutanes countertop, while she
continued to list tropical fruits. Kai'

551
00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:46.159
s mind finally rekindled. Mom,
no. The words sprang up with an

552
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:52.360
unintentioned but justified firmness and volume,
and Kai ignored the instinct that he was

553
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:57.360
committing a sacrilege by telling him that
I will not marry his mother or stay

554
00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:05.400
here. You can' t do
this kind of thing. People did not

555
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.880
buy wives for their children in the
21st century. For God' s sake,

556
00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:15.519
she squeezed her lips and put her
hands on her hips. She looked

557
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:20.760
like an aerobic trainer from the eighties, with her shiny pink shawl and short

558
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:25.239
hair combed with a permanent flatterer.
I' ve already booked the salon for

559
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:30.920
the wedding. I paid a thousand
dollars as a deposit, Mom. I

560
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:37.639
chose August 8th. I know how
much you like that number, what'

561
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:39.599
s with the fingers in the hair, and it contained a grunt. I

562
00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:45.000
' ll pay you back the thousand
dollars. Please. Give me the contact

563
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:50.119
information from the party hall so I
can cancel everything. Don' t be

564
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:54.039
like that, Calet You must have
an open mind. She said. I

565
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:59.280
don' t want you to be
lonely. He breathed a sigh of unbelief.

566
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:05.320
I don' t feel alone I
like to be alone. It was

567
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:09.280
only for people who had feelings unlike
him. It wasn' t loneliness.

568
00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:14.480
If it was possible to make it
disappear with work or with a marathon of

569
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:21.719
natfuex or a good article, the
real loneliness was attached all the time.

570
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:28.519
Real loneliness could constantly hurt you.
Kay didn' t feel hurt. Most

571
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:32.719
of the time I felt nothing.
That' s why he kept away from

572
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:38.199
romantic relationships. If someone felt interested
in him in this regard, he would

573
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:44.159
only end up disappointing him for not
being able to match his feelings and it

574
00:50:44.159 --> 00:50:46.199
would not be right. Mom,
I won' t, so don'

575
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:52.679
t make me do it She crossed
her arms. I know I can'

576
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:55.159
t force you. I don'
t want to force you. If you

577
00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:00.440
don' t like her, you
don' t have to get married,

578
00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:02.320
but I' m asking you to
give her a chance. Let him stay

579
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:07.480
here for the summer. If that
time goes by, he' s still

580
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:10.159
not looking for you, he'
ll go home. Just like that.

581
00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:16.679
He looked back at Wan Have your
brother come to his senses. John held

582
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:22.800
his hands up as a tense smile
spread in his mouth. I can'

583
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:28.119
t do anything. She stared at
him.“ All this is useless,

584
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:34.000
” Kai said. I won'
t change my mind and I really didn

585
00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.239
' t want any stranger living in
his house. His home was a shelter,

586
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:44.199
the only place where he could escape
from the people and be the same,

587
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:50.000
at least when his family did not
invade him. You can' t

588
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:53.880
make a decision before you meet her. It' s not fair. Besides,

589
00:51:54.159 --> 00:52:00.480
I need her at the restaurant,
the new waitress quit and I need

590
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:05.280
to hire her for the afternoon shift. Help me. With this Kai asked

591
00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:08.960
him to look at his mother with
a frown. He knew perfectly well that

592
00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:13.679
she was manipulating him, he wasn' t blind enough not to see him,

593
00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:15.280
but he didn' t know how
to get out of that situation.

594
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:21.079
Also, when she needed staff,
she had Kyle and his brothers ask for

595
00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:24.039
days off at work to help and
between serving tables. While she was dealing

596
00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:29.840
with her mother all day and sheltering
a strange woman in her house as if

597
00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:34.280
she had felt her weakness. His
mother threw herself to strike the final blow.

598
00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:39.239
It' ll just be a few
downsides. For me it would make

599
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:46.599
me very happy. Shit shit.
Frustration became a gigantic ball. Inside it

600
00:52:46.719 --> 00:52:52.760
it enlarged and enlarged until it was
about to explode. There was nothing I

601
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:58.840
could answer to that, and she
knew it was her mother. Holding on

602
00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:02.639
to his last apex of control,
he said only if you promise to stop

603
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:07.119
looking for a partner. After this, you won' t try to make

604
00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:12.639
me date the son doctor' s
daughter with the dentist' s daughter,

605
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:17.119
Ubei and Greek' s friends,
or anyone else. You won' t

606
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:21.719
ambush me with surprise guest when I' m having dinner with you. Of

607
00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:28.400
course, his mother nodded enthusiastically.
I promise only this summer, just this

608
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:32.320
once. If you don' t
like it, I' ll stop anyway.

609
00:53:32.679 --> 00:53:37.519
I don' t think I can
find a girl better than I and

610
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.960
he hesitated Halfway through the prayer and
a thoughtful look crossed his face. But

611
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:45.800
you have to really try. If
I don' t see you trying to

612
00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:47.360
make it work, I' ll
have to put it all together again.

613
00:53:49.360 --> 00:53:57.119
You understand Galet. He squinted his
eyes. What it means to try,

614
00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:00.039
it means you' ll do what
a fiance does, you' ll go

615
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:00.960
out with her, you' ll
introduce her to your friends and family.

616
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:06.920
You' ll do activities together.
That kind of thing. Oh, and

617
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:13.880
you' ll take her to all
the weddings this summer. That sounded horrifying.

618
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:19.960
Kay couldn' t help but grin
and Wan burst into laughter. You

619
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:22.559
know, Mom, maybe this was
a good idea. After all, Juan

620
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:29.639
Veis commented. You think I'
m crazy, but a mother always knows

621
00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:32.760
what' s best for her son. That was questionable, but Kay had

622
00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:37.599
no choice but to answer very well. I' ll do everything you ask

623
00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:40.960
me this summer. If you promise
to give up wedding plans. After this,

624
00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:46.760
I promise. I promise. I
promise. I' m so glad

625
00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:51.960
you came to your senses. You' ll like it You' ll see

626
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:53.920
I' m not mistaken. He
responded by smiling from ear to ear as

627
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:58.920
if he had won the Power Bowl
lottery. He was 100% sure he

628
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:04.079
was wrong, but he held back
and said nothing. I' m gonna

629
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:07.519
take a shower. He went to
his room. It was as typical of

630
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:13.119
his mother to devise a conspiracy as
that. The whole plan was ridiculous.

631
00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:19.119
I wouldn' t change my mind
and I could be the most perfect woman

632
00:55:19.159 --> 00:55:22.639
in the world, and that wouldn' t change anything. That he liked

633
00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:29.719
her was inconsequential. In fact,
if she liked it, it was an

634
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:37.519
even more valid reason not to marry
her. Scene three and clung to the

635
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.599
arms of his seat. As the
plane landed with a jolt that caused a

636
00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:46.079
roll in his stomach, strange mechanical
noises reached his ears and the lights flashed

637
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:52.519
again until they lit up. He
didn' t want to fly again once

638
00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:59.719
in his life was enough. Welcome
to San Francisco, California. It'

639
00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:05.280
s 20 o' clock local time. Thank you for flying with Euchannah for

640
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:08.960
the loudspeakers, thanks to the sky
and Buddha for the English classes at the

641
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:15.079
Institute, all the illegally downloaded American
films that I had already seen the recorded

642
00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:19.599
English classes that I had been listening
to nonstop for the past few months as

643
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:27.559
I cleaned up I had understood almost
all of California had finally arrived. That

644
00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:31.400
meant I' d meet him soon
enough. Nausea assaulted her so strongly that

645
00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:37.960
her skin was raised from her face
and her vision was clouded. Don'

646
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:42.519
t throw up. Don' t
throw up. Don' t throw up.

647
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:47.800
That' s not how he wanted
to spend his first moments in North

648
00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:52.400
America. What would happen if they
dragged her somewhere for disturbing the peace with

649
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:57.800
her vomit or took a look at
the nice old lady dressed in a knitted

650
00:56:57.880 --> 00:57:02.800
sweater that was next to her for
splashing people around her. I could go

651
00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:07.599
to prison. That' s why
they could deport her. Maybe they'

652
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:12.840
d send her back before they even
got off the plane. They all began

653
00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:16.320
to form a tail in the hallway
and stood up suddenly to remove their luggage

654
00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:21.719
from the upper compartment and a tall
man in a coffee jacket stepped forward and

655
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:28.559
lowered it for her. Here,
let me help you. She opened her

656
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:32.840
mouth to answer, but nothing came
out. Shame caught the English words in

657
00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:38.519
his throat. I had learned the
language. He had been in high school

658
00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:44.360
for a long time and could write
it down and read it a little enough

659
00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:46.599
to complete the landing form and the
customs declaration, at least with the help

660
00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:51.719
of the Hostess, but speaking had
always been a challenge for him. He

661
00:57:51.840 --> 00:57:57.920
formed useless fists with his hands.
How could I make him stop. All

662
00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:01.320
he had in his bag was n
eg vietnamese and it was worth almost nothing.

663
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:07.599
It wasn' t enough here to
tip him. The man leaned the

664
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:12.000
small navy blue suitcase in the hallway
and smiled and she held it close to

665
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:15.639
her before he could take her away
her smile, softened and turned to the

666
00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:22.800
front of the plane. While they
were walking the landing runway. She kept

667
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:25.280
waiting for him to help her again
and ask for something. In return,

668
00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:30.920
but he didn' t. When
they arrived at the airport, the man

669
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:37.800
disappeared into the crowd and she was
panicked. He knew what he was doing.

670
00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:43.760
I could have told you where to
go, but now I was alone.

671
00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:47.320
What would happen if I went into
the wrong place and did something wrong.

672
00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.719
I' m sure he' d
end up undergoing a full body check

673
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:58.760
and a polygraph test. While blindly
following the crowd. He tried to read

674
00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:01.800
the signs on his head, but
his mind was in fear. I couldn

675
00:59:01.880 --> 00:59:08.719
' t understand the words in English. Passport please. Somehow. He was

676
00:59:08.760 --> 00:59:14.880
in front of a tail with his
heart at the gallop and took the little

677
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:17.519
green notebook from his purse and delivered
it along with all the forms that the

678
00:59:17.639 --> 00:59:22.880
flight attendant had given him on the
plane. That was the moment, the

679
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:28.840
moment I had been fearing paperwork.
Right now, everything could go wrong.

680
00:59:30.760 --> 00:59:35.440
The airport employee reviewed the forms,
took his passport and placed a stamp on

681
00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:39.400
one of the pages before returning it
to him. All Welcome to America.

682
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:47.760
Esmeralda Tran enjoyed her stay, she
stared at him with disbelief. Ah yes,

683
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:52.719
she was emerald Trin. It would
take him some time to get used

684
00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:55.960
to his new name. The one
Consuelo had chosen because of emerald from the

685
00:59:57.000 --> 01:00:00.639
movie. Notre Dame' s hunchback
had the same skin color as them.

686
01:00:01.280 --> 01:00:07.000
Consuelo had also chosen that moment to
announce that she also wanted a new man

687
01:00:07.039 --> 01:00:12.679
and after investigating a little they had
decided for jade. The airport employee gestured

688
01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:16.840
to him to follow his path.
Please proceed to the next baggage check.

689
01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:27.000
That was it. It took longer
to clean a toilet, hugged his passport

690
01:00:27.039 --> 01:00:30.360
against his chest with one hand and
rolled his suitcase towards the inspection area,

691
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:37.880
placed everything he possessed on the conveyor
belt and passed through all the space-

692
01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:45.199
like detectors. Once he reached the
other side, he took his suitcase and

693
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:50.360
stood still for a moment, assimilated
the chaos of the terminal, foreign languages

694
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:53.960
everywhere, the aroma of perfume,
food and bodies, expensive- looking shops,

695
01:00:54.480 --> 01:01:01.679
colors, clothes, hands holding suitcases, hands holding other hands. Everyone

696
01:01:01.719 --> 01:01:07.800
was calm, determined knowing where she
was going. I also wanted to know

697
01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:14.199
where to go. All that was
too new. Even she felt new,

698
01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:21.280
new place, new name, new
person, new life. Maybe during the

699
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:25.079
summer at least I' d have
to be excited. Howe Werd and Disneyland

700
01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:31.159
were there, but all I felt
was fear. However, returning home was

701
01:01:31.199 --> 01:01:37.400
not an option at that time.
He had to do that for his daughter.

702
01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:42.679
His mother' s advice resonated in
his head. First seduces love will

703
01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:47.920
come. It was time to meet
a man. He went straight to the

704
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:52.360
nearest bathroom, entered an empty compartment
and changed his comfortable travel dress for a

705
01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:58.599
tight pink dress. After changing his
flat shoes for a pair of high heels

706
01:01:58.719 --> 01:02:01.719
that looked like guns. She came
out of the cubicle to brush her teeth

707
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:06.840
until her gums hurt and a little
eyeliner was applied to the eyelash mask,

708
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:13.119
that shiny thing to hide the shiners
and red lipstick. That was the best

709
01:02:13.159 --> 01:02:16.320
I could do. When she looked
in the whole body mirror next to the

710
01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:22.159
washbasins, her reflection turned out to
be completely unrecognizable, but she was a

711
01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:25.519
good thing and she was a naive
and poor country girl who never fit in.

712
01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:31.480
It was time to leave that girl
behind. Now it was esme raised

713
01:02:31.519 --> 01:02:36.719
her chin, came out of the
bathroom and joined the crowd. He looked

714
01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:40.199
with determination at the words of the
signs hanging over his head and followed the

715
01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:47.000
pedestrian traffic through the airport. After
passing through security, he looked at the

716
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:53.119
people and their faces looking, searching, searching, and there he was,

717
01:02:55.039 --> 01:03:00.920
it was his realistic waiting on the
other side of security control. What did

718
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:04.480
he imagine he should feel like when
someone was going to look for a chutson

719
01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:07.159
dog coming from the Netherlands, with
the difference that he was not expecting a

720
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:14.599
trained or officially certified watchdog, but
a person. As the minutes passed,

721
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:17.960
he stood still with his shoulders back
and his right back, as the years

722
01:03:19.239 --> 01:03:24.079
of martial arts training had taught him. He didn' t walk from here

723
01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:29.599
to there, nor hit his feet
or swing. I didn' t do

724
01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:34.039
those things anymore, but I wanted
to do them. If that girl really

725
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:37.719
showed up, I' d have
to live with her for a whole summer.

726
01:03:37.719 --> 01:03:40.679
Worse still, I' d have
to treat her like her fiancée.

727
01:03:42.639 --> 01:03:45.960
What the hell did he know about
that? He took his phone out of

728
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:50.880
his pocket and opened the image his
mother had sent him. If she hadn

729
01:03:51.000 --> 01:03:55.880
' t claimed that she had already
met the girl, she would have thought

730
01:03:55.920 --> 01:04:00.840
it was the clearest example of cyber
fraud. The person in the photograph was

731
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:09.800
almost too beautiful to make someone invaded
his personal space. Chao Anne looked up

732
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:14.599
from the phone and found herself looking
at the same eyes. Clear green image.

733
01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:19.320
Only this time I was doing it
in real life was she hello.

734
01:04:20.719 --> 01:04:28.880
He greeted him instinctively. She smiled
and his thoughts were cut red, bright

735
01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:35.320
lips, white teeth and perfect dazzling
eyes. People had to consider the beautiful

736
01:04:35.320 --> 01:04:41.639
one. It was nothing but that. He was sexy, amazing, wonderful,

737
01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:45.280
but he didn' t care about
that class. D his look accidentally

738
01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:53.280
fell on his chest and dried his
mouth shit. She was like a sexual,

739
01:04:53.840 --> 01:04:58.360
living fantasy and apparently he was a
man who liked breasts and silhouettes shaped

740
01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:09.239
like a hourglass and legs. How
they could seem so long when she was

741
01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:15.960
so short. Maybe it was because
of those seven- inch heels he was

742
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:19.119
wearing. Realizing what he was doing, he forced himself to look her in

743
01:05:19.199 --> 01:05:25.960
the face when his family still hoped
he would date. His sister had made

744
01:05:26.039 --> 01:05:30.679
him memorize a set of rules,
as he was very good at fulfilling them

745
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:35.159
by following rules. When you are
with a girl, one opens and closes

746
01:05:35.239 --> 01:05:43.159
the doors, two, removes the
chair for her and repositions three pay all

747
01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:48.280
four charges, always with the bags. That included his purse. If she

748
01:05:48.360 --> 01:05:53.840
so wished, it didn' t
matter if he preferred to have his hands

749
01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:59.360
free. Five offer him your coat
if he' s cold, no,

750
01:05:59.599 --> 01:06:01.880
it didn' t matter if he
was cold too. Six, no matter

751
01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:08.800
how dressed she is, don'
t look at inappropriate parts of her body,

752
01:06:09.719 --> 01:06:13.079
especially back breasts and thighs. I
could make an exception. If she

753
01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:17.199
was seriously injured by an uncomfortable blush, she covered her face and burned the

754
01:06:17.239 --> 01:06:24.440
tip of her ears. I just
broke rule number six. In his defense

755
01:06:24.519 --> 01:06:27.800
he could say that he had not
trained to be with a woman. So,

756
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:31.679
she put the suitcase in front of
her legs and let loose a quick

757
01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:39.960
sigh before smiling again you' re
diego, I' m emediated in Vietnamese

758
01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:45.079
a sense of unreality again assaulted him. That was really happening. His girlfriend,

759
01:06:45.119 --> 01:06:49.239
on request, was introducing herself to
him, but maybe his name wasn

760
01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:55.719
' t there. Please don'
t make it two. I didn'

761
01:06:55.800 --> 01:06:59.280
t even know what to do with
one. If his mother had gotten him

762
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:04.360
a whole sand, he would need
therapy. After a second panic, logic

763
01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:08.880
returned to her brain and concluded that
she must have adopted a Western name to

764
01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:16.480
develop better in North America. He
wouldn' t have any haren Thank God.

765
01:07:17.639 --> 01:07:21.000
Only kay said in English and got
rid of his last name and pronunciation.

766
01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:27.440
His mother was the only one who
called him Diego and he didn'

767
01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:30.360
t usually make a good sign that
he did. As a response, she

768
01:07:30.760 --> 01:07:34.000
bowed her head with confusion and he
wondered if he would have understood what he

769
01:07:34.119 --> 01:07:40.800
had told her. As she looked
at him, she frowned at why you

770
01:07:40.840 --> 01:07:45.199
' re all dressed in black.
In North America they dress in black for

771
01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:49.320
funerals. I' ve seen it
in the movies. He' s dead,

772
01:07:49.320 --> 01:07:54.599
isn' t he? Someone asked
again in Vietnamese no. No one

773
01:07:54.639 --> 01:08:00.199
' s dead. I just like
black. Choosing clothes was much easier when

774
01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:04.400
it was all of the same color. In addition, black was not stained

775
01:08:04.480 --> 01:08:12.559
as much and was socially versatile,
suitable for every occasion, from going to

776
01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:17.520
work to attending bar mix ba.
As she assimilated that information, he took

777
01:08:17.520 --> 01:08:21.920
his suitcase down the handle and began
to head towards the parking lot. Here

778
01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:28.079
he said with every step he took
at the airport, the words clung to

779
01:08:28.119 --> 01:08:39.359
Kai' s head what his mother, his girlfriend, had been thinking about.

780
01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:42.560
On request, it was not at
all what he had expected. A

781
01:08:42.680 --> 01:08:46.119
young replica of her mother, dressed
in the same sports outfits and riracha sauces

782
01:08:46.199 --> 01:08:50.880
and today without her always carrying in
her purse, could have dealt with that,

783
01:08:51.159 --> 01:08:58.239
but that girl esme looked like a
Playboy bunny. He didn' t

784
01:08:58.319 --> 01:09:00.560
have the characteristic platinum hair. However, or the rest fit that image.

785
01:09:02.199 --> 01:09:08.640
What one could do with a playboy
bunny, other than having sex. Of

786
01:09:09.600 --> 01:09:15.399
course, and it wasn' t
like he was thinking about it, although

787
01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:19.199
he was obviously thinking about sex.
Shit, there wouldn' t be sex.

788
01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:24.520
An insidious part of his brain reminded
him that he had committed himself to

789
01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:30.680
doing all the things that a fiancé
would do and the fiancées would have sex.

790
01:09:31.119 --> 01:09:36.800
He shook his head to clear pornographic
thoughts. It was badly reduced to

791
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:42.319
a person' s sexual value.
He was a rational being. I had

792
01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:45.640
to come to my senses. In
addition, she could be the kind of

793
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:51.800
person who regularly celebrated animal sacrifice rites
in her backyard. It was safe to

794
01:09:51.840 --> 01:09:56.720
put your pants down in front of
a woman like that. This quickly annihilated

795
01:09:56.800 --> 01:10:00.920
the sexual thoughts and the rest of
the journey through the airport went smoothly.

796
01:10:03.119 --> 01:10:06.760
Once he went through a couple of
sliding glass doors, the slapping of the

797
01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:11.640
esme shoes on the concrete floor of
the parking lot followed him to his car.

798
01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:15.279
He kept his suitcase in the trunk
and set out to surround the vehicle

799
01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:19.039
to follow rule number one, but
he opened his door and settled in the

800
01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:27.399
seat and then also closed it.
For a moment he stood still staring at

801
01:10:27.640 --> 01:10:31.439
the side of the car. She
knew she had just broken the social label.

802
01:10:32.479 --> 01:10:35.800
I should tell him, and it
wasn' t ironic. Perhaps if

803
01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:42.960
he knew the rules better or perhaps
they were not international, with an imaginary

804
01:10:43.039 --> 01:10:46.720
gesture of shruging his shoulders he sat
behind the wheel, turned on the engine

805
01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:53.000
and turned back. Wait a minute
She asked for it We can talk.

806
01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:58.840
He sighed and stopped the car again. It seemed that they would continue to

807
01:10:58.960 --> 01:11:01.800
speak each other in their own language
without fully understanding it, just as it

808
01:11:01.880 --> 01:11:10.399
was when they had a conversation with
their mother. Thanks ancalette Ann meant brother,

809
01:11:10.760 --> 01:11:15.680
but when there was no kinship,
it was more of an expression of

810
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:19.600
affection. He didn' t think
it was heartwarming, but when she dedicated

811
01:11:19.720 --> 01:11:25.920
another of her baffling smiles, he
forgot to feel upset and just. When

812
01:11:25.960 --> 01:11:30.359
her brain began to short- circuit, she watched the inside of her car

813
01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:35.000
than the most beautiful car. Thanks
to him. In general, he didn

814
01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:40.560
' t like flashy things, but
he enjoyed driving his car. It was

815
01:11:40.640 --> 01:11:45.079
the most prized possession I had.
It was a shame that the Windshield was

816
01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:48.920
full of bird feces. She took
a deep breath. I know you don

817
01:11:49.000 --> 01:11:54.800
' t want to marry me.
That' s right, he didn'

818
01:11:54.840 --> 01:11:58.119
t see any reason to lie the
silence. He was suspended in the air.

819
01:11:58.199 --> 01:12:00.960
As she bit her lower lip and
her muscles were thought to be uncomfortable

820
01:12:01.039 --> 01:12:10.039
you will cry, he asked there
are tissue paper in the watertight. I

821
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:13.279
had to reach them. I didn' t know what else to do.

822
01:12:13.680 --> 01:12:17.319
Maybe give him a pat on the
arm. She shook her head before lifting

823
01:12:17.359 --> 01:12:21.760
her chin and looking him in the
eye. Your mother wants me to change

824
01:12:21.840 --> 01:12:30.279
your mind. You can' t
change my mind. You have taken a

825
01:12:30.319 --> 01:12:35.640
look aside while searching for words a
perfect woman in mind. What she'

826
01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:41.279
s like. She' s someone
who leaves me alone. Only he already

827
01:12:41.399 --> 01:12:45.000
had a mother, a sister,
and millions of aunts and cousins who sent

828
01:12:45.039 --> 01:12:48.680
him to fulfill absurd errands, which
criticized his dress choices and ordered him to

829
01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:53.640
cut his hair. They didn'
t need any more women in their life.

830
01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:59.720
“ How you will want that,” she said, shaking her head

831
01:12:59.720 --> 01:13:05.399
decisively“ I will help you to
be happy You see, he became tense

832
01:13:05.399 --> 01:13:08.760
I don’ t need that kind
of help. His proposal could not be

833
01:13:08.840 --> 01:13:13.960
more mortifying. If she intended to
spend the summer forcing him to dance and

834
01:13:13.960 --> 01:13:18.319
sing, she might have some kind
of epic mental collapse. Happiness, like

835
01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:23.159
grief, was not in his deck
of emotional cards, but minor emotions,

836
01:13:23.359 --> 01:13:30.159
such as irritation and frustration. Yes, they were. A significant number of

837
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:36.880
those same emotions assaulted him at that
moment, a look of skepticism pierced her

838
01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:43.279
face. Happy people don' t
wear black. Again the subject of his

839
01:13:43.319 --> 01:13:49.359
clothes held his fingers behind the wheel. I disagree. The black color was

840
01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:55.960
perfectly acceptable at weddings and were happy
events for the rest of the people.

841
01:13:56.319 --> 01:14:00.520
At least he' d rather have
a prostate test done. Doctors only tortured

842
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:06.520
you for a few seconds at weddings. Instead, they lasted hours and hours.

843
01:14:06.880 --> 01:14:11.920
She squeezed her lips and there was
a moment of tension before she asked

844
01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:15.800
what you' re working on.
You like what you do. It'

845
01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:20.119
s complicated to explain, but I
do like it. She just moved her

846
01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:26.439
lips and he was sure that she
was evaluating the complicated word, but then

847
01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:30.640
she watched the car look back at
her black suit and shirt and devoted a

848
01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:36.359
fun look to it. His lips
turned a little bit You' re a

849
01:14:36.439 --> 01:14:45.479
spy like James bond He blinked several
times. Not a killer. No,

850
01:14:45.479 --> 01:14:49.039
I' m not a killer.
What was wrong with that girl. It

851
01:14:49.159 --> 01:14:54.119
' s a shame, but she
didn' t seem disappointed. Not with

852
01:14:54.239 --> 01:15:00.279
that smile on his face what kind
of things were going on in his mind

853
01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:04.520
You' re weirder than I added
him shaking his head, she confused him

854
01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:10.880
even more by hugging herself and bending
with laughter. It was a nice musical

855
01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:15.039
sound. In a way, when
he crossed his legs, his gaze turned

856
01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:18.279
to his thighs without being able to
avoid it. Her skirt had slipped upwards

857
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:25.199
and revealed a little more of her
immaculate skin. Rule number six. Rule

858
01:15:25.279 --> 01:15:30.119
number six. Rule number six.
He forced himself to turn his eyes and

859
01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:34.760
stared away at the board. I
studied for an accountant at the University,

860
01:15:35.159 --> 01:15:40.039
but now I' m more of
a tax specialist. A friend and I

861
01:15:40.119 --> 01:15:45.319
set up an accounting program company.
He' s in charge of programming and

862
01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:47.960
I' m in charge of numbers, which means I have to keep up

863
01:15:49.800 --> 01:15:57.880
with the generally accepted accounting principles and
tax laws set out in the Federal Tax

864
01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:03.000
Code. We have recently added a
transfer pricing analysis to our software package.

865
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:09.319
So I had to get acquainted with
article four hundred and eighty- two of

866
01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:15.159
the Federal Tax Code. It is
very interesting to find out how to check

867
01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:19.560
whether commercial transactions comply with the principle
of full competition, also called arm distance,

868
01:16:20.119 --> 01:16:29.640
when large multinational companies are involved.
Sometimes they create tax extension areas in

869
01:16:29.680 --> 01:16:33.960
jurisdictions that have low taxes, like
the Bahamas, so you must have forced

870
01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:39.960
yourself to stop Half the sentence.
People got bored when he talked about his

871
01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:46.560
work. Sometimes I even bore other
people in the accounting area. The complexities

872
01:16:46.600 --> 01:16:53.479
and elegance of accounting principles and tax
law were not for anyone. He did

873
01:16:53.520 --> 01:17:00.680
not understand why accounting she said slowly
this time in English. Not exactly.

874
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:05.159
Although I have the title of accountant, yes and I have the backing to

875
01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:11.239
grant tax documentation to companies listed on
the North American Stock Exchange. I'

876
01:17:12.359 --> 01:17:15.800
m surprised, too. He released
an exclamation. She was an accountant.

877
01:17:16.840 --> 01:17:23.119
That was unexpected and wonderful. Suddenly, she concentrated on the hem of her

878
01:17:23.159 --> 01:17:29.119
dress and toyed with a loose thread
as she said in Vietnamese in Vietnam not

879
01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:36.000
clear here. It' s probably
very different here, I bet it is.

880
01:17:38.079 --> 01:17:43.000
I have no experience with Vietnamese tax
laws. They are likely to be

881
01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:48.000
fascinating, considering bribery as a business
cost. It' s tax deductible.

882
01:17:49.119 --> 01:17:54.439
It would be fun to see bribery
as an element included in a statement of

883
01:17:54.439 --> 01:17:59.520
accounts. That' s why he
liked accounting so much. It wasn'

884
01:17:59.600 --> 01:18:03.159
t just about numbers on a paper. If you knew how to look at

885
01:18:03.239 --> 01:18:09.279
them, the numbers had meaning and
reflected culture and values. She hugged herself

886
01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:15.159
like she was cold and said nothing. He just insulted her inadvertently. He

887
01:18:15.199 --> 01:18:19.479
went over his words in the head
and tried to identify the offensive comment,

888
01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:24.680
but it was useless for him.
We can go now. Kay asked after

889
01:18:24.720 --> 01:18:30.760
an uncomfortable pause. I don'
t like this kind of talk, and

890
01:18:30.840 --> 01:18:35.359
without a doubt, they weren'
t good at it. If we go

891
01:18:35.600 --> 01:18:42.399
thank you Ann She leaned against her
seat and looked out the window. He

892
01:18:42.520 --> 01:18:47.239
left his parking space paid and retired
from the garage. At first, his

893
01:18:47.359 --> 01:18:54.319
muscles were thought to foresee more curious
questions. However, and fortunately, she

894
01:18:54.319 --> 01:18:58.560
kept quiet as they left the airport
behind and joined the highway, not like

895
01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:04.880
her mother and sister, who could
keep a monologue for hours. He thought

896
01:19:04.920 --> 01:19:09.840
he might have fallen asleep, but
every time he looked in his direction he

897
01:19:10.079 --> 01:19:14.920
found her staring at the landscape by
the highway, consisting of low office buildings,

898
01:19:15.039 --> 01:19:19.800
grass and some other set of eucalyptus
or pine trees. Nothing too glamorous,

899
01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:26.359
well, at least for him.
I couldn' t imagine what it

900
01:19:26.439 --> 01:19:31.560
would look like to her avenue and
universey said she suddenly straightened out in her

901
01:19:31.560 --> 01:19:34.840
seat and turned her body so she
could see the exit they just passed.

902
01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:41.800
That' s where the University of
California Berkeley is located. Not there is

903
01:19:41.920 --> 01:19:47.720
sentherd Ah looked back at the front
and sank into the Berkeley seat It'

904
01:19:47.840 --> 01:19:51.800
s an hour north. That'
s where I studied my graduate and graduate

905
01:19:51.800 --> 01:19:59.359
studies. Truly, the enthusiasm of
his voice took him by surprise. Most

906
01:19:59.439 --> 01:20:02.840
or people in the area weren'
t impressed unless you had attended Skenfer or

907
01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:11.600
an aBY League school. Yeah,
they have a good accounting program. He

908
01:20:11.600 --> 01:20:15.119
continued to drive, keeping his eyes
on the road, but could almost feel

909
01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:19.359
the weight of her gaze on the
skin. He glanced at her and asked

910
01:20:19.479 --> 01:20:29.119
her what. How is the relationship
between students They know each other did not

911
01:20:29.119 --> 01:20:33.159
really respond. He' s a
huge college. More than 10, 000

912
01:20:33.159 --> 01:20:39.319
students are admitted each year. Why
do you ask her? He shrugged and

913
01:20:39.399 --> 01:20:45.239
shook his head as he looked out
the window. He again concentrated on the

914
01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:48.640
traffic of the early hours of sunset. He went out of Matilda Avenue and

915
01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:54.960
drove through the streets bordered by tall
oaks and leafy complexes of houses, apartment

916
01:20:54.960 --> 01:21:00.560
buildings and shopping malls. Ten minutes
later he turned down the street on the

917
01:21:00.560 --> 01:21:04.199
side, leading to his dejected two- room house and almost in ruins.

918
01:21:04.680 --> 01:21:10.079
Compared to the other newly built and
remodeled houses in the area. His looked

919
01:21:10.159 --> 01:21:14.800
like a monstrosity, but he bet
no one else had such a fluffy carpet.

920
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:18.159
He stopped next to his wax sector, put the handbrake on and turned

921
01:21:18.199 --> 01:21:27.560
off the engine. We' re
here. He announced scene four esme still

922
01:21:27.640 --> 01:21:31.279
couldn' t forgive himself for lying
that way. She wanted heaven to condemn

923
01:21:31.359 --> 01:21:38.319
her for what she had done it. I knew why, because she was

924
01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:43.439
a cleaning worker and he was so
much better than her. He wanted to

925
01:21:43.439 --> 01:21:47.239
impress him, show him that he
was not wasting time with her, but

926
01:21:47.279 --> 01:21:51.600
now he had to pretend that he
had worked as an accountant, when he

927
01:21:51.640 --> 01:21:54.520
didn' t even know what it
was about and he should keep his daughter

928
01:21:54.520 --> 01:21:59.960
secret. She was a liar and
she was ashamed of herself. If I

929
01:21:59.960 --> 01:22:02.840
were the good person, I would
confess at that moment, but the feeling

930
01:22:02.960 --> 01:22:08.600
of being his equal was too addictive. It didn' t even matter if

931
01:22:08.600 --> 01:22:13.000
it was fake. He liked it
already he was pretending to be someone who

932
01:22:13.039 --> 01:22:15.800
wasn' t a cosmopolitan woman and
sexed something that he wasn' t having

933
01:22:15.800 --> 01:22:18.520
much success with. Judging by his
failed attempt to flirt in the car,

934
01:22:18.840 --> 01:22:26.760
why not take more chances and add
intelligence and sophistication to the list. When

935
01:22:26.840 --> 01:22:30.479
he died. The demons would torment
her for all eternity instead of allowing her

936
01:22:31.880 --> 01:22:39.079
to reincarnate or worse would allow her
to reincarnate, but she would become a

937
01:22:39.359 --> 01:22:42.840
catfish, a horrible weight that would
live in the drains of some river.

938
01:22:43.000 --> 01:22:46.560
It was fair. That' s
what waited for him to wish people poisoning.

939
01:22:47.920 --> 01:22:51.720
Calette got out of the car and
she did the same thing. The

940
01:22:51.800 --> 01:22:56.560
creaking of the steps on the gravel
sounded louder than normal in her ears and

941
01:22:56.640 --> 01:23:02.720
she felt dizzy looking at her feet
when she had last eaten She was too

942
01:23:02.800 --> 01:23:09.880
tired to remember. He yawned to
clear himself and forced himself to observe around

943
01:23:09.880 --> 01:23:14.319
him. The houses were very simple
compared to the mansions she had imagined,

944
01:23:14.720 --> 01:23:19.920
and one- floor casualties most of
them and the air filled her lungs.

945
01:23:24.479 --> 01:23:29.159
What was that smell. After a
moment he realized it was the lack of

946
01:23:29.199 --> 01:23:34.640
smell. It did not smell like
garbage or rotten fruit any fog of exhaust

947
01:23:34.640 --> 01:23:43.720
gas darkened the sunset until it became
tamarind oxide- colored it rubbed its eyes

948
01:23:43.800 --> 01:23:47.960
tired from the journey and admired the
sky painted with bright apricot tones. What

949
01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:55.239
and Jacinto, what a difference only
an ocean away. Nostalgia assaulted her at

950
01:23:55.279 --> 01:24:00.720
the time and almost missed the contamination. She would have been grateful to have

951
01:24:00.760 --> 01:24:05.760
something familiar nearby while standing there on
an unknown street, in an unknown city,

952
01:24:05.960 --> 01:24:11.000
in a world so far away from
everything she loved. What time was

953
01:24:11.079 --> 01:24:16.239
it in Vietnam, I was comforting, not now. Jade sleeping missed his

954
01:24:16.279 --> 01:24:24.079
mother. Her mother missed her.
If he were at home, he would

955
01:24:24.119 --> 01:24:27.640
take his side, kiss his little
hands, and draw his forehead closer to

956
01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:31.199
hers, as he always did.
Before he went to bed he stumbled and

957
01:24:31.319 --> 01:24:35.600
would have fallen if it hadn'
t been for the calet mailbox he looked

958
01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:40.319
at his shoes with disapproval after taking
his suitcase out of the trunk. You

959
01:24:40.359 --> 01:24:44.359
' d be better off barefoot than
that, but they are very useful.

960
01:24:45.119 --> 01:24:47.279
It' s like having a shoe
and a gun. He took off.

961
01:24:47.359 --> 01:24:53.600
Both shoes were sued for stabbing someone
with one of them. He looked at

962
01:24:53.640 --> 01:24:58.840
her seriously for a moment without laughing
or even smiling, and she squeezed her

963
01:24:58.920 --> 01:25:03.600
lips and looked at her barefoot.
He had done it again another failed attempt

964
01:25:03.680 --> 01:25:09.920
to flirt in his defense. It
had been a long time since he had

965
01:25:10.039 --> 01:25:15.319
dated a man and had forgotten how
to do it while looking at his unattractive

966
01:25:15.319 --> 01:25:18.359
fingers. He hated those disproportionate hands
and feet he had inherited from his green

967
01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:24.600
- eyed father had no elegance or
appeal. He realized the chilling weed that

968
01:25:24.680 --> 01:25:29.560
drowned Calet' s garden. What
if I step on all those thorns.

969
01:25:30.680 --> 01:25:34.000
She dedicated a smile to him that
she wished to be sexy. You'

970
01:25:34.079 --> 01:25:38.880
d take me in your arms.
He took the suitcase to the front door

971
01:25:38.960 --> 01:25:44.760
without looking at it. Stay on
the pavement and you' ll be fine,

972
01:25:44.920 --> 01:25:48.800
I can clean the garden for you
I' m good at that he

973
01:25:50.119 --> 01:25:53.760
added while giving jumps behind, he
calet took the pocket keys and opened the

974
01:25:53.760 --> 01:25:58.119
door. I like the way she
is. She looked back at the garden

975
01:25:58.159 --> 01:26:01.720
above her shoulder to make sure it
wasn' t her imaginations and it wasn

976
01:26:02.159 --> 01:26:08.880
' t still a jungle of tangled, tangled thorns and dry bushes. He

977
01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:14.000
was wrong when he said Esme was
the weirdest of the two. He won

978
01:26:14.119 --> 01:26:18.359
that competition without even trying. No
doubt about it. She was the strangest

979
01:26:18.399 --> 01:26:24.560
person she' d ever met.
He still did not know him well,

980
01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:28.239
but he had immediately realized how peculiar
he was. I didn' t look

981
01:26:28.359 --> 01:26:30.760
her in the eye when she was
talking, I wore everything in black.

982
01:26:30.079 --> 01:26:33.560
He liked the moor that he had
as a garden and said strange things.

983
01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:43.479
That gave him hope. Strange was
good, strange was an opportunity. Besides,

984
01:26:43.920 --> 01:26:48.520
she was weird too, only not
as much as he has an open

985
01:26:48.560 --> 01:26:53.479
mind. She locked it down.
He looked at her like he thought she

986
01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:59.640
was crazy and she rebuked herself.
Why you park on the sidewalk when you

987
01:26:59.760 --> 01:27:05.600
have a break. He pointed to
the garage judging by the size of the

988
01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:11.640
gate he could store two vehicles there. It didn' t make sense to

989
01:27:11.680 --> 01:27:15.239
park his beautiful car on the street, not unless he had three cars.

990
01:27:15.640 --> 01:27:18.079
Which he doubted he could afford,
considering the state of his garden and home.

991
01:27:20.279 --> 01:27:26.560
Instead of answering her question, Calet
led her into her home. She

992
01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:29.920
wondered if he had not heard her
or if he had deliberately ignored her,

993
01:27:30.319 --> 01:27:35.079
but let it pass. The interior
was even stranger than the outside. The

994
01:27:35.159 --> 01:27:40.720
fluffy carpet looked more like grass than
the garden. There were gym machines all

995
01:27:40.880 --> 01:27:45.720
over the living room and the metallic
lights and curtains seemed to come from a

996
01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:48.720
different era. After leaving the shoes
on the floor, he followed Calette down

997
01:27:48.720 --> 01:27:54.039
a narrow corridor and the soft carpet
fibers hugged his bare feet at every step.

998
01:27:55.760 --> 01:27:59.520
Calet left the suitcase in a small
room that housed a desk, a

999
01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:04.880
sofa and a wardrobe. When she
looked at the old wall paper a few

1000
01:28:04.960 --> 01:28:12.640
tears crept into her eyes plush bears, beach balls, dolls, bayel slippers

1001
01:28:13.039 --> 01:28:18.840
and toy buckets. That should have
been a kid' s room. He

1002
01:28:18.880 --> 01:28:24.359
brushed the bayel slippers with the tip
of his fingers. Jade would love that

1003
01:28:24.560 --> 01:28:30.680
place. This is your room.
Calette announced you' ll have to settle

1004
01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:34.640
for the sleeping couch. She'
s very pretty. Thank you, Ancalette.

1005
01:28:35.560 --> 01:28:40.319
I' ve never slept on anything
as comfortable as a sofa in my

1006
01:28:40.319 --> 01:28:45.560
entire life. I' ve never
had a couch before, but he didn

1007
01:28:45.560 --> 01:28:47.199
' t mention any of that.
Now she was the sophisticated one. Is

1008
01:28:47.239 --> 01:28:51.239
that my accountant? It' s
me the accountant. He probably had a

1009
01:28:51.239 --> 01:28:56.119
beautiful apartment with two or three sofas
and had never slept on a straw mattress

1010
01:28:56.239 --> 01:29:01.319
on a pressed earth floor. The
lonely country girl inside looked at the huge

1011
01:29:01.359 --> 01:29:06.720
empty sofa and felt nostalgia for her
home again. He wanted, his straw

1012
01:29:06.760 --> 01:29:11.279
mattress, his dirt floor, his
house, a single room and the sleeping

1013
01:29:11.319 --> 01:29:15.479
bodies of his little daughter, his
grandmother and her mother. I was exhausted,

1014
01:29:16.039 --> 01:29:19.840
but I didn' t know how
I could sleep alone. The phone

1015
01:29:19.880 --> 01:29:25.760
on the desk is for you pointed
cove before turning to get out of there.

1016
01:29:26.840 --> 01:29:30.800
Wait For me he rushed up to
the desk and reached out to the

1017
01:29:30.880 --> 01:29:36.279
silver phone, but closed his fist
before touching it. It would be a

1018
01:29:36.319 --> 01:29:41.079
shame to stain the elegant phone with
your fingers. My mother told me you

1019
01:29:41.159 --> 01:29:45.359
needed a card without a new one. But a new phone is easier if

1020
01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:49.039
you don' t like it.
I can trade it for a model with

1021
01:29:49.039 --> 01:29:54.479
more performance, but that would cost
even more. It' s new.

1022
01:29:54.600 --> 01:30:00.159
She highlighted Calette put a hand in
her pocket. Yeah, he said it,

1023
01:30:00.359 --> 01:30:03.800
like it' s the most normal
thing in the world, you can

1024
01:30:03.800 --> 01:30:09.720
give it back. Calet frowned as
he bowed his head to one side.

1025
01:30:11.359 --> 01:30:14.199
I don' t really think so. You don' t like it.

1026
01:30:15.279 --> 01:30:21.319
She twisted her hands. I don' t like it, but then where

1027
01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:26.159
' s the problem? Use it
and that' s it. A wave

1028
01:30:26.159 --> 01:30:30.119
of anxiety. She blushed her face, but she forced herself to say I

1029
01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:33.039
' ll pay you back as soon
as I get a job. He hoped

1030
01:30:33.119 --> 01:30:39.199
to earn enough to make it in
his country. I' d have to

1031
01:30:39.279 --> 01:30:43.840
save most of the year to pay
for something so beautiful. That' s

1032
01:30:43.840 --> 01:30:48.079
not necessary. She lifted her chin. Yeah, it was important that he

1033
01:30:48.159 --> 01:30:53.039
knew he wouldn' t marry him
for his money. It had never been

1034
01:30:53.079 --> 01:30:57.560
a matter of money for her.
Anyway, he liked that he didn'

1035
01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:00.520
t have as much money as his
neighbors. That' s how they'

1036
01:31:00.520 --> 01:31:03.439
d make a better match. She
didn' t need a rich man,

1037
01:31:04.800 --> 01:31:11.800
she just needed someone who was hers
and jade- calet she just shrugged.

1038
01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:17.319
Whatever you want, I' ll
go warm up dinner. You' ll

1039
01:31:17.439 --> 01:31:23.520
come when you' re hungry She
dropped her shoulders. He didn' t

1040
01:31:23.640 --> 01:31:28.960
understand that she wanted to earn things
on her own. I' ll call

1041
01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:34.399
home first. I can tell you
straight ahead. As soon as he retired

1042
01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:39.920
from the room, she cautiously closed
the door, unplugged the white charger from

1043
01:31:40.039 --> 01:31:44.720
the phone, sat on the couch
and stared at her incredibly elegant new phone.

1044
01:31:45.680 --> 01:31:49.359
I didn' t expect any of
that. It was the best gift

1045
01:31:49.439 --> 01:31:55.399
I could have ever made, the
best of all, and he didn'

1046
01:31:55.399 --> 01:31:59.000
t even like it. Her.
He was a strange, insensitive guy and

1047
01:31:59.079 --> 01:32:02.359
very possibly a neighboring probe. But
when she contemplated her actions, all she

1048
01:32:02.439 --> 01:32:08.560
could see was gentleness. Carola had
been in the right cove. He was

1049
01:32:08.560 --> 01:32:14.439
good, very good. Before leaving
he had memorized how to make an international

1050
01:32:14.520 --> 01:32:17.880
call from North America and marked his
mother' s number, who responded after

1051
01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:26.640
the first hello tone Come on,
let' s tell me everything first of

1052
01:32:26.640 --> 01:32:30.119
all, How comfort is. I
can talk to her. She' s

1053
01:32:30.119 --> 01:32:33.600
very excited, because she' ll
soon have a father. Tell me a

1054
01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:40.560
little bit, how you like it
all. He asked his mother. Yeah,

1055
01:32:40.920 --> 01:32:45.279
I like it. One mmm of
approval was heard on the other side

1056
01:32:45.319 --> 01:32:53.880
of the line. All right,
and your house is nice. I like

1057
01:32:53.880 --> 01:32:58.520
it. He answered. It'
s my room. It' s got

1058
01:32:58.520 --> 01:33:01.600
a beautiful wallpaper. If he saw
it on the floor, he' d

1059
01:33:01.720 --> 01:33:04.960
love it, and I have a
couch just for me. You won'

1060
01:33:05.079 --> 01:33:11.680
t sleep with him. He blanked
my eyes. I won' t sleep

1061
01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:15.960
with him. You don' t
remember. He doesn' t want to

1062
01:33:15.960 --> 01:33:19.199
get married. That doesn' t
mean I want to sleep alone. I

1063
01:33:19.239 --> 01:33:25.279
just got off the plane. He
reminded his mother that he needed time to

1064
01:33:25.319 --> 01:33:30.319
put in place his powers of seduction, if he still had such powers working

1065
01:33:30.840 --> 01:33:34.199
as much as he did. She
didn' t have time to go on

1066
01:33:34.239 --> 01:33:40.199
dates or give herself up to desire, plus the melo recollection of her mother

1067
01:33:40.239 --> 01:33:41.319
' s and grandmother' s faces
when they found out about her pregnancy.

1068
01:33:41.439 --> 01:33:45.880
It was enough to make any man
uninteresting. Oh, right, right,

1069
01:33:46.520 --> 01:33:50.039
it' s been a long trip. His mother nodded. After a moment

1070
01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:55.840
of silence, he added and you
could not loosen the legs of the armchair

1071
01:33:55.880 --> 01:34:00.880
and say that it has broken why
he would do that to be able to

1072
01:34:00.880 --> 01:34:04.000
sleep with it. Daughter, he
took my phone out of his ear and

1073
01:34:04.039 --> 01:34:12.359
stared at him who that woman he
was talking to. The voice looked like

1074
01:34:12.399 --> 01:34:16.960
his mother' s, but not
his words. I can' t do

1075
01:34:17.039 --> 01:34:23.399
that It' s wrong. What
I said grumbled his mother Look, talk

1076
01:34:23.800 --> 01:34:28.960
to your little girl Ma the little
voice. He made the heart melt even

1077
01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:33.359
as it broke she would have to
be with her daughter not on the other

1078
01:34:33.439 --> 01:34:40.199
side of the world. Chasing a
man hello. My little girl I'

1079
01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:43.600
ve missed you so much what you' ve done. Since I left yesterday

1080
01:34:44.560 --> 01:34:48.279
I caught a huge fish in the
lagoon. Great- grandmother hit him on

1081
01:34:48.359 --> 01:34:54.840
a tree to kill him and then
we ate him for dinner. It was

1082
01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:59.680
so hot. He covered his eyes
with one hand and beat him against a

1083
01:34:59.760 --> 01:35:02.880
tree to death. It' s
me the accountant. He' d be

1084
01:35:02.960 --> 01:35:08.239
horrified by that conversation. Not only
would she not have a five- year

1085
01:35:08.600 --> 01:35:13.159
- old daughter born out of wedlock, but her daughter would not be fishing

1086
01:35:13.159 --> 01:35:16.720
for her own dinner and, obviously, there would be no animal beaten to

1087
01:35:16.720 --> 01:35:21.399
death against a tree. But at
least your daughter was happy. It was

1088
01:35:21.439 --> 01:35:27.359
a sin. Ending a life,
even the life of a fish, but

1089
01:35:27.439 --> 01:35:30.359
I would gladly sacrifice a whole bench
of trout to distract Jade and make him

1090
01:35:30.439 --> 01:35:36.520
not miss his mother. He lifted
his feet and leaned his tired head against

1091
01:35:36.560 --> 01:35:43.079
the armrest of the sofa, while
Jade spoke nonstop about fish, worms and

1092
01:35:43.079 --> 01:35:46.239
crickets. When her eyelids closed slowly, she could almost feel Vietnam' s

1093
01:35:46.319 --> 01:35:51.239
sun on her skin and her little
girl in her arms fell asleep with a

1094
01:35:51.359 --> 01:35:59.880
smile on her lips scene five,
something wet fell on Kai' s face

1095
01:36:00.119 --> 01:36:05.720
or again looked like raindrops, except
that she was on her bed. He

1096
01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:12.680
was dripping on the roof, falling
down on it, opened his eyes and

1097
01:36:12.720 --> 01:36:16.760
was about to scream He was standing
next to his wet bed and wrapped alone

1098
01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:24.319
in a towel. I think I' ve ruined the shower Water comes out

1099
01:36:24.319 --> 01:36:28.319
everywhere. He grabbed the towel closer
to his chest. Kai sat straight,

1100
01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:33.479
rubbed his face with one hand and
prepared to get out of bed. Let

1101
01:36:33.520 --> 01:36:39.760
me see it. It' s
probably just him to adjust. Shit threw

1102
01:36:39.800 --> 01:36:45.319
the sheets back on her crotch.
I was having a monstrous morning erection.

1103
01:36:45.439 --> 01:36:50.039
She couldn' t see that the
way her underpants were lifted was grotesque and

1104
01:36:50.119 --> 01:36:56.520
she would probably believe it was because
of her, but it wasn' t

1105
01:36:56.520 --> 01:37:00.560
like that. Almost every day he
woke up like this and there was no

1106
01:37:00.680 --> 01:37:06.000
uncontrollable addiction to porn or something like
that. It was just a natural biological

1107
01:37:06.039 --> 01:37:12.840
reaction to morning testosterone levels. One
I could have dispensed with. Your mornings

1108
01:37:12.880 --> 01:37:16.720
would be much more efficient if you
didn' t have to masturbate in the

1109
01:37:16.720 --> 01:37:20.239
shower every day. However, when
she discovered it by looking at her bare

1110
01:37:20.239 --> 01:37:27.319
chest and abs, she stopped thinking
about efficiency and inappropriate hormone levels. She

1111
01:37:27.399 --> 01:37:30.399
bit her lip and he would have
sworn that he could feel her teeth on

1112
01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:38.560
his own lips. The muscles of
his stomach c thought and his senses sharpened.

1113
01:37:40.239 --> 01:37:45.439
She was beautiful, even without makeup. It looked more natural, more

1114
01:37:45.479 --> 01:37:49.520
real. The drops of water on
his soft skin stood out with perfect clarity

1115
01:37:49.600 --> 01:37:54.479
and attracted him to something I told
him that they should know better than the

1116
01:37:54.479 --> 01:37:58.760
common water. I hadn' t
thought it was possible, but his erection

1117
01:37:58.800 --> 01:38:03.600
accentuated even more shit, making a
great effort to hide his uncompromising erection.

1118
01:38:03.920 --> 01:38:08.239
He got up from the bed and
dragged his feet to the bathroom, the

1119
01:38:08.319 --> 01:38:12.600
only renovated place in the whole house. He stood in front of the shower

1120
01:38:12.640 --> 01:38:15.680
and watched confused as the lights flashed
with the colors of the rainbow and the

1121
01:38:15.720 --> 01:38:21.319
water emanated from the holes located on
the top and side. How he managed

1122
01:38:21.399 --> 01:38:26.640
to do that. He didn'
t know he had a car wash option

1123
01:38:28.119 --> 01:38:30.159
It' s broken. I'
ll pay for the settlement declared esme.

1124
01:38:31.319 --> 01:38:39.000
I don' t think you just
pressed the wrong buttons, a lot of

1125
01:38:39.159 --> 01:38:43.600
them, maybe all at the same
time, or maybe it was like a

1126
01:38:43.640 --> 01:38:48.640
video game where you had to press
the buttons following a given order. She

1127
01:38:48.720 --> 01:38:56.880
had accidentally found a secret combination that
was not included in the manual. There

1128
01:38:56.920 --> 01:39:00.239
was no choice. I had to
go in. He sprinkled deep and got

1129
01:39:00.239 --> 01:39:04.880
into the shower in his underwear.
Hot water attacked him from all directions and

1130
01:39:04.880 --> 01:39:12.159
soaked his hair and massaged his muscles. It would have been nice if it

1131
01:39:12.239 --> 01:39:15.359
wasn' t for the blink of
lights, his underwear, now soaked and

1132
01:39:15.359 --> 01:39:19.800
by the public. When it reached
the control panel it pressed the switch off.

1133
01:39:20.840 --> 01:39:26.600
The cycle of colored lights ended and
the flood was interrupted. The remaining

1134
01:39:26.640 --> 01:39:30.680
water fell from the holes and hit
the ground with an intimate drip. She

1135
01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:34.640
pulled her hair back and said come
and I' ll show you how it

1136
01:39:34.640 --> 01:39:39.920
works. He bowed my head.
He held the towel a little more to

1137
01:39:39.960 --> 01:39:45.119
his chest and stood next to him. First you press the power button.

1138
01:39:45.239 --> 01:39:50.119
This one also turns everything off and
I, in general use the vertical shower

1139
01:39:50.479 --> 01:39:59.119
mode that is here only two buttons. So you see it pressed the buttons

1140
01:39:59.199 --> 01:40:05.359
and the water fell its or on
them like a soft rain you understand she

1141
01:40:05.439 --> 01:40:12.319
nodded the fix was not broken.
She dropped her shoulders as she breathed a

1142
01:40:12.359 --> 01:40:16.199
sigh of relief and gave her a
smile. When the water fell on his

1143
01:40:16.279 --> 01:40:19.960
eyes, he passed a hand through
his face, but it was of no

1144
01:40:19.960 --> 01:40:26.239
use. They were both under the
shower with the water on. Every second

1145
01:40:26.319 --> 01:40:32.600
she passed the towel she got more
soaked, she had to take it off,

1146
01:40:32.600 --> 01:40:36.000
but then she' d be naked. Next to it, surrounded by

1147
01:40:36.039 --> 01:40:43.239
water and steam and tarnished stone walls. The strange state of heightened consciousness returned

1148
01:40:43.680 --> 01:40:47.680
this time stronger. The roar of
running water became more intense and he felt

1149
01:40:47.760 --> 01:40:56.079
each drop dissolve against his skin like
a soft kiss. Images of him,

1150
01:40:56.239 --> 01:40:59.640
removing his wet towel, crossed his
mind, although her body remained blurred from

1151
01:40:59.680 --> 01:41:05.560
the chest to the thighs. He
didn' t know how to imagine it,

1152
01:41:05.560 --> 01:41:10.439
but he wanted to. No,
I didn' t, yeah,

1153
01:41:10.479 --> 01:41:15.319
yeah, I wanted no. I
didn' t really need those images wandering

1154
01:41:15.399 --> 01:41:19.760
through his perverted mind. We'
re very smart. Eh said he was

1155
01:41:19.880 --> 01:41:27.000
me with a smile. We wash
clothes, towels and bodies at the same

1156
01:41:27.039 --> 01:41:30.079
time so we save water. I' m not sure we' re cleaner

1157
01:41:30.159 --> 01:41:34.479
than before. She bowed her head
down and rinsed the water from her eyes.

1158
01:41:36.439 --> 01:41:43.319
“ I’ m just joking once
you’ re serious,” Kay

1159
01:41:43.399 --> 01:41:46.199
asked,“ She raised one of
her elegant shoulders and directed a sort of

1160
01:41:46.199 --> 01:41:49.159
insecure smile to her. I just
want you to be yourself with me.

1161
01:41:50.239 --> 01:41:56.520
I am, maybe I wasn'
t. I certainly wasn' t pretending

1162
01:41:56.560 --> 01:41:59.960
to be someone else. However,
if he looked at things in an object

1163
01:41:59.960 --> 01:42:05.239
way, that was precisely what the
people around him normally wanted. That the

1164
01:42:05.239 --> 01:42:10.840
acta was different, in a more
appropriate, more intuitive, more considerate,

1165
01:42:11.239 --> 01:42:17.000
less eccentric, less really him.
She didn' t care about her real

1166
01:42:17.000 --> 01:42:21.159
thing. Me. The smile of
esme became wider and all he could do

1167
01:42:21.199 --> 01:42:29.560
was stare at her. What a
strange, incomprehensible and beautiful woman she was

1168
01:42:29.640 --> 01:42:33.359
always joking and smiling all the time. He felt a tingling in his fingers

1169
01:42:33.439 --> 01:42:38.600
and a desire to touch that smile
and took a step back as a self

1170
01:42:38.600 --> 01:42:44.159
- protection. I' ll let
you shower you can use the other towel

1171
01:42:45.039 --> 01:42:50.720
over there Cay escaped from the bathroom
Suddenly he was in his dressing room dripping

1172
01:42:50.760 --> 01:42:55.520
water over the carpet while he looked
away at the black clothes hanging from the

1173
01:42:55.520 --> 01:42:59.640
hangers. His heart rumbled as if
he had drunk five cans of Barbold and

1174
01:42:59.680 --> 01:43:04.119
his penis did obscene things in the
front of his wet underpants. It took

1175
01:43:04.159 --> 01:43:09.640
him a huge effort to remember what
day it was and what the corresponding plans

1176
01:43:09.720 --> 01:43:13.920
were, but then frustration traveled through
his body. She had spoiled everything with

1177
01:43:13.960 --> 01:43:18.399
the mess of the shower and now
with her in there she couldn' t

1178
01:43:18.439 --> 01:43:26.439
even brush her teeth, at least
not without taking a look, which she

1179
01:43:26.439 --> 01:43:31.279
would honestly enjoy too much. He
hit his forehead against the wall of his

1180
01:43:31.319 --> 01:43:38.119
damn dressing room. I had to
put a stop to all that. Determined

1181
01:43:38.159 --> 01:43:41.600
that the rest of the day would
work properly, he took his sportswear,

1182
01:43:42.119 --> 01:43:45.600
tied his shoelaces, and took a
toothbrush and a spare dentifica that he had

1183
01:43:45.640 --> 01:43:49.880
in the wardrobe of his home clothes. Then he went to the kitchen to

1184
01:43:49.920 --> 01:43:54.840
brush his teeth. In the sink, he devoured a protein bar and drank

1185
01:43:54.920 --> 01:43:59.319
a glass of water. It was
Sunday morning, and that meant I had

1186
01:43:59.399 --> 01:44:04.640
to exercise the upper body. If
he abandoned his exercise routine, he began

1187
01:44:04.680 --> 01:44:10.720
to lose weight very quickly, and
that displeased him. It reminded him too

1188
01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:15.760
much of when he was younger and
clumsy and extremely rare. Sometimes it was

1189
01:44:15.840 --> 01:44:20.199
still weird, but it wasn'
t clumsy anymore. He had managed to

1190
01:44:20.279 --> 01:44:24.920
get rid of that quality by training
his muscles for hours and hours of practice.

1191
01:44:25.920 --> 01:44:29.600
As always, he walked slowly to
his living room and placed himself in

1192
01:44:29.600 --> 01:44:33.800
the right machine while lifting a fifty- six- pound bar above his head.

1193
01:44:34.640 --> 01:44:38.680
He saw me go into the kitchen. He took some fruit from the

1194
01:44:38.760 --> 01:44:42.760
varied selection that his mother had left
and served himself a glass of water that

1195
01:44:42.800 --> 01:44:45.680
was forgotten on the countertop, but
he remained focused and fulfilled efficiently with the

1196
01:44:45.840 --> 01:44:51.800
five series of five repetitions by the
time he finished working the biceps. I

1197
01:44:51.920 --> 01:44:57.520
' d lost Esme' s trail
Nothing happened. She was an adult and

1198
01:44:57.600 --> 01:45:01.680
didn' t need supervision. He
started doing push- ups on the bar

1199
01:45:01.680 --> 01:45:08.000
always five, series of ten,
one, two, three. I used

1200
01:45:08.039 --> 01:45:11.279
to hate that kind of push-
ups. However, now that he had

1201
01:45:11.399 --> 01:45:15.399
improved, he liked the rhythm of
his breathing and the movement of his arms

1202
01:45:15.520 --> 01:45:24.920
were perfectly synchronized. Four, five, six. If he tried, he

1203
01:45:25.000 --> 01:45:29.239
would probably be able to do a
crazy number of repetitions before his body gave

1204
01:45:29.239 --> 01:45:32.159
up, especially if he didn'
t have the weight of 11 kilos tied

1205
01:45:33.319 --> 01:45:38.920
to his waist seven eight nine.
A movement on the other side of the

1206
01:45:39.199 --> 01:45:43.439
window on the outside caught his attention
and stood still with his feet hanging above

1207
01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:48.119
the ground. Esme was in the
back garden with her hair gathered on a

1208
01:45:48.199 --> 01:45:56.439
ponytail and wearing floral print pants.
That was a bunch of panties and a

1209
01:45:56.560 --> 01:46:01.119
white shirt without a fucking bra.
Underneath his breasts he swayed seductively as he

1210
01:46:01.199 --> 01:46:06.319
fell a small tree with one of
his Japanese kitchen knives. His feet fell

1211
01:46:06.359 --> 01:46:11.439
on the carpet with a deaf noise
and he was vaguely aware of his luck

1212
01:46:11.479 --> 01:46:16.479
not to be injured by the weight
hanging between his legs. I still couldn

1213
01:46:16.560 --> 01:46:21.720
' t turn my eyes away from
the window. Oh, shit. It

1214
01:46:21.760 --> 01:46:27.920
was the steak knife. She was
cutting down a tree with a steak knife.

1215
01:46:29.199 --> 01:46:32.439
He doubted that such a gunship was
one of the purposes of the knife,

1216
01:46:32.920 --> 01:46:36.640
but as it used to be with
Japanese engineering. The knife exceeded all

1217
01:46:36.680 --> 01:46:44.680
expectations and could see his dark nipples
through the thin shirt. He could not

1218
01:46:44.760 --> 01:46:49.760
be the only one who thought that
situation was absolutely disconcerting. It was exciting

1219
01:46:49.760 --> 01:46:55.680
and fascinating and terrifying. She was
armed and also a little frustrating because she

1220
01:46:55.720 --> 01:47:01.079
had deeply redefined the purpose of her
sophisticated cowardice. He went straight to the

1221
01:47:01.079 --> 01:47:05.000
window. He opened it all of
a sudden and asked why you' re

1222
01:47:05.960 --> 01:47:10.680
cutting that tree and with a knife
for the meat. In addition, she

1223
01:47:10.720 --> 01:47:14.359
stopped the knife from the narrow trunk
of the tree and gave him a smile,

1224
01:47:14.640 --> 01:47:17.960
as if everything was perfectly normal.
I' m cleaning up a little

1225
01:47:17.960 --> 01:47:24.399
bit. Kai' s lips moved
without sound. That' s not necessary.

1226
01:47:24.399 --> 01:47:28.680
He finally answered, I' m
making your garden better for them.

1227
01:47:29.720 --> 01:47:34.880
You' ll see, but he
didn' t care how he did it

1228
01:47:34.880 --> 01:47:41.600
good. That wasn' t entirely
true. He cared a little, just

1229
01:47:41.680 --> 01:47:45.760
enough to get the perverse pleasure of
irritating his neighbors with his deteriorated facade and

1230
01:47:45.880 --> 01:47:50.920
garden. He had intended to fix
things, but the tiny old lady across

1231
01:47:50.960 --> 01:47:55.479
the street Ruthy had sent him a
letter threatening to report him if he did

1232
01:47:55.479 --> 01:48:00.840
not try to make his home fit
better with the neighborhood, and he was

1233
01:48:00.840 --> 01:48:04.720
able to do almost anything if asked
kindly. An example of this was his

1234
01:48:04.760 --> 01:48:09.319
current situation, in which a woman
who liked to wield knives was living with

1235
01:48:09.479 --> 01:48:14.600
him, but he was threatened by
him and Ruth was in a silent battle

1236
01:48:14.640 --> 01:48:19.720
and he would end it. She
didn' t care that she was about

1237
01:48:20.920 --> 01:48:25.680
a hundred years old Esme gave the
tree one last blow and the trunk broke

1238
01:48:25.680 --> 01:48:30.199
in half. The leafy crown of
the tree fell to the ground and she

1239
01:48:30.199 --> 01:48:32.399
held. He knifed up high and
said I' m good with knives.

1240
01:48:33.520 --> 01:48:40.840
Kay slowly walked away from the window
in which number she had stayed. I

1241
01:48:40.960 --> 01:48:47.279
had no idea, so he started
over at the beginning one two. Tress

1242
01:48:47.319 --> 01:48:51.520
pulled me aside, slashed and bowed
to drag. The fallen tree and his

1243
01:48:51.560 --> 01:48:58.359
pants stretched over his ass in a
very seductive way. It shouldn' t

1244
01:48:58.359 --> 01:49:02.279
be sexy. Now I was absolutely
certain that that was a pair of pants,

1245
01:49:03.359 --> 01:49:06.800
but his penis didn' t care. He stood firm and put pressure

1246
01:49:06.800 --> 01:49:12.960
on his sports pants. Kay shook
her head and forced herself to concentrate.

1247
01:49:14.000 --> 01:49:19.720
Mind, win a penis. Mind, win a penis. I could do

1248
01:49:19.880 --> 01:49:28.239
rule number six Damn it four,
five, six. The tree must have

1249
01:49:28.279 --> 01:49:31.640
stuck with something, because she started
pulling it and her perfect ass covered with

1250
01:49:31.680 --> 01:49:35.720
the boobies shook as if she were
dancing in a Kai bellonce music video.

1251
01:49:38.479 --> 01:49:43.119
She stared at her hopelessly trapped in
the most confusing erection of her entire life.

1252
01:49:44.079 --> 01:49:47.000
When the tree got loose, she
staggered a few steps back and then

1253
01:49:47.119 --> 01:49:51.880
dragged it to the far end of
the garden. He found a shovel somewhere

1254
01:49:51.960 --> 01:49:57.399
he didn' t know where he
didn' t even know he had a

1255
01:49:57.439 --> 01:50:01.439
shovel and he came back to nail
it into the hole that had left the

1256
01:50:01.560 --> 01:50:05.239
tree freshly torn out of his breasts
bounced off and the sweat shone over his

1257
01:50:05.319 --> 01:50:08.359
red face before it was washed off
with the back of his arm. Akay

1258
01:50:08.439 --> 01:50:12.439
assaulted him with the idea that maybe
he should be helping her instead of watching

1259
01:50:12.479 --> 01:50:15.880
her as if she were a pornographic
landscaper. You weren' t supposed to

1260
01:50:15.920 --> 01:50:24.359
let women do the hard work.
Maybe I should add it to the rules.

1261
01:50:25.439 --> 01:50:29.880
However, he had already told her
that he did not have to.

1262
01:50:30.319 --> 01:50:34.279
If his hands wished to plow the
land of Sellecken Valley, what a right

1263
01:50:34.319 --> 01:50:39.600
he had to deny him that joy. Besides, he was opposed to fixing

1264
01:50:39.680 --> 01:50:45.119
his garden. In principle he was
enmity with Ruthe and all that turned his

1265
01:50:45.159 --> 01:50:50.359
gaze and returned to doing push-
ups, keeping the focus. Mind beats

1266
01:50:50.439 --> 01:50:57.920
penis one two three he bowed,
which caused his pants to stretch again over

1267
01:50:58.039 --> 01:51:02.920
his ass and a moan blew in
Cai' s chest. After taking a

1268
01:51:02.960 --> 01:51:06.680
stone out of the earth and throwing
it aside, she again worked with the

1269
01:51:06.720 --> 01:51:14.159
shovel, one two three. Every
time the shovel sank into the dry land,

1270
01:51:14.560 --> 01:51:19.000
the determination of esme continued to grow. That morning she had woken up

1271
01:51:19.079 --> 01:51:24.439
with her new phone glued to her
face and a blanket over her. He

1272
01:51:24.439 --> 01:51:28.960
had covered it up in his sleep. It was a small gesture, but

1273
01:51:29.079 --> 01:51:32.239
it was a little cold in the
room. What would happen if she got

1274
01:51:32.239 --> 01:51:38.119
sick? It was a sign.
It was clear that he was not perfect,

1275
01:51:38.680 --> 01:51:44.640
but he was perfect for her and
for jade He would have to put

1276
01:51:44.680 --> 01:51:48.880
all his effort into marrying him.
Her name Calette meant victory, but the

1277
01:51:48.920 --> 01:51:54.880
way he said it, without emphasis
or tilde, meant opening up and that

1278
01:51:55.279 --> 01:52:00.920
was exactly what she had to do. He was locked and she had to

1279
01:52:00.960 --> 01:52:04.880
open it. His experience told him
that when you wanted to open something,

1280
01:52:05.119 --> 01:52:10.720
you cleaned it first to see what
you were dealing with and then worked on

1281
01:52:10.720 --> 01:52:13.079
it with a lot of effort.
Esme was not good, with many things,

1282
01:52:13.520 --> 01:52:17.159
but she had the ability to clean
up and work hard. I could

1283
01:52:17.479 --> 01:52:25.760
do it maybe I was even meant
to do it. I' d start

1284
01:52:25.760 --> 01:52:30.279
by fixing Calette' s garden.
Then he' d go on with his

1285
01:52:30.399 --> 01:52:33.159
house and, finally, with his
life. He had manifested that he was

1286
01:52:33.159 --> 01:52:39.880
not dissatisfied with any part of his
life, but that was absolutely false for

1287
01:52:39.960 --> 01:52:45.039
some reason. He had erected a
high wall around himself. She would take

1288
01:52:45.439 --> 01:52:49.800
him down just as she had knocked
down that tree and find the way to

1289
01:52:49.800 --> 01:52:54.640
her heart. With that in mind
he worked in the garden until the sun

1290
01:52:54.680 --> 01:52:58.920
was high in the sky. Then
he entered the house to have lunch with

1291
01:52:58.960 --> 01:53:02.199
him and seduce him in a subtle
way or not so subtle, but he

1292
01:53:02.279 --> 01:53:06.079
was no longer there. I had
left her alone in that house, without

1293
01:53:06.199 --> 01:53:14.479
telling her anything scene six when Cai' s alarm clock sounded the next morning,

1294
01:53:15.000 --> 01:53:17.359
he struck her, sat down and
watched her room with numb eyes.

1295
01:53:19.199 --> 01:53:24.199
She had spent Sunday in her office
to escape from esme, but she had

1296
01:53:24.239 --> 01:53:28.760
managed to invade her dreams. I
had slept for about three hours. At

1297
01:53:30.199 --> 01:53:36.920
most, the fantasies had assaulted him
all night, sexual fantasies with a pair

1298
01:53:38.039 --> 01:53:44.760
of panties as protagonists. I was
already an officer, I was losing my

1299
01:53:44.960 --> 01:53:47.640
mind and I had a monstrous erection. His pen was so hard that he

1300
01:53:47.680 --> 01:53:53.800
was lifting the heavy blanket on his
own. I had to take care of

1301
01:53:54.199 --> 01:53:58.039
that, but how could I do
it by having someone else on the other

1302
01:53:58.039 --> 01:54:01.560
side of the door? What would
happen if she interrupted him. None of

1303
01:54:01.560 --> 01:54:05.800
the locks worked in that house,
something that had never been a problem before.

1304
01:54:08.520 --> 01:54:12.159
Walking with his limb pointing forward as
the needle of a compass, he

1305
01:54:12.560 --> 01:54:15.199
went to the bathroom turned on the
light and opened the drawer next to the

1306
01:54:15.239 --> 01:54:23.079
sink where he kept his toothbrush and
the toothpaste were not fully opened the drawer,

1307
01:54:23.239 --> 01:54:28.000
but did not roll out from the
bottom. He knew he had placed

1308
01:54:28.079 --> 01:54:32.159
them there the night before. He
always brought them back to their place.

1309
01:54:33.199 --> 01:54:40.640
I was hallucinating. She was in
the middle of a nightmare or someone really

1310
01:54:40.760 --> 01:54:47.079
weird read had stolen her oral hygiene
products because someone read her identifric toothbrush were

1311
01:54:47.119 --> 01:54:51.279
leaning on the countertop next to the
faucet and a glass of the kitchen.

1312
01:54:54.199 --> 01:55:00.279
What the hell had to be Esme' s thing took his toothbrush, put

1313
01:55:00.279 --> 01:55:04.399
dentificos on it and put it in
his mouth. While he was brushing,

1314
01:55:05.239 --> 01:55:11.880
he looked at the bathroom and must
have woken up at dawn because there were

1315
01:55:11.920 --> 01:55:15.439
new details everywhere. It didn'
t look the same as the night before.

1316
01:55:15.840 --> 01:55:19.159
The sides of his CLINX box were
no longer parallel to the walls and

1317
01:55:19.199 --> 01:55:24.159
the paper handkerchief that came out of
the box was carefully bent into a triangle

1318
01:55:24.239 --> 01:55:29.640
és I had repositioned the bath towels
from the shelves and were now folded in

1319
01:55:29.680 --> 01:55:35.119
thirds with a hand towel and a
towel over it. His bathroom looked good,

1320
01:55:35.439 --> 01:55:41.720
but it was practical to hold a
grunt again to accommodate the Clínix box

1321
01:55:41.760 --> 01:55:45.960
to its previous position with sides parallel
to the walls. While showering, she

1322
01:55:46.399 --> 01:55:51.479
accidentally put conditioner in her hair before
washing with Shampoo, because she had changed

1323
01:55:51.560 --> 01:55:59.000
the order of the containers and had
to put conditioner a second time, which

1324
01:55:59.000 --> 01:56:03.399
r rs was absolutely irritating, in
case it wasn' t little. When

1325
01:56:03.520 --> 01:56:09.960
he wanted out, he took his
bath towel and dropped the little ones to

1326
01:56:10.000 --> 01:56:15.720
the ground. Then he bowed to
pick them up and when he joined,

1327
01:56:15.119 --> 01:56:19.239
he hit his head with the towel
rack. When he managed to get dressed

1328
01:56:19.279 --> 01:56:25.079
and leave the room, he was
furious, in haste and possibly with a

1329
01:56:25.079 --> 01:56:29.319
concussion. He went straight into the
kitchen and the aroma immediately wrapped him.

1330
01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:36.880
Picante similar to the seafood so intense
that made him cough sme was next to

1331
01:56:36.920 --> 01:56:42.760
the stove, pouring fish sauce into
a saucepan that contained boiling soup while with

1332
01:56:43.199 --> 01:56:47.960
a damp cloth he distracted a stain
that was next to the fire. For

1333
01:56:48.079 --> 01:56:53.239
an instant of confusion. Calet completely
forgot the smell of burnt fish sauce.

1334
01:56:55.159 --> 01:57:01.279
She was wearing a shirt and just
wau those pieces. Esme dedicated a wide

1335
01:57:01.399 --> 01:57:08.760
smile to him above his shoulder hello
Ancalette. His joy made him come out

1336
01:57:08.800 --> 01:57:15.399
of his numb state of a jolt
and the intense aroma of fish sauce flooded

1337
01:57:15.439 --> 01:57:21.039
him again very intensely. Yeah,
it made the meals taste delicious, but

1338
01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:28.399
who wanted to smell that all day
and her name, she kept giving it

1339
01:57:28.479 --> 01:57:33.560
that way. Esme gave him a
look of confusion as he opened the windows

1340
01:57:33.560 --> 01:57:38.439
and the glass door facing the garden
and also lit the extractor bell over the

1341
01:57:38.479 --> 01:57:45.640
stoves to remove the smell. He
explained what smell he blinked once twice.

1342
01:57:47.119 --> 01:57:54.239
Maybe she hadn' t noticed.
It was everywhere. At that very moment

1343
01:57:54.359 --> 01:58:00.199
I imagined him imbuing the paint on
the walls with the fish sauce. He

1344
01:58:00.279 --> 01:58:03.199
pointed to the tall neck bottle she
held and that she had a squid on

1345
01:58:03.199 --> 01:58:09.880
the label. Ah sme leaned on
the countertop and cleaned his hands with discomfort

1346
01:58:09.960 --> 01:58:15.800
with the wet kitchen cloth. After
a tense moment, he rushed past him

1347
01:58:15.880 --> 01:58:20.960
to open the closet next to him. I made coffee. He tipped off

1348
01:58:21.000 --> 01:58:25.960
to take the cup on the middle
shelf and the hem of his shirt slid

1349
01:58:26.000 --> 01:58:32.439
upwards and revealed the perfectly attractive glotts
of his ass and white underwear. His

1350
01:58:32.520 --> 01:58:36.079
penis immediately stood firm and reminded him
that he had skipped an important part of

1351
01:58:36.239 --> 01:58:43.239
his routine, morning twice consecutively after
the landscape incident of the previous day.

1352
01:58:44.239 --> 01:58:48.279
He found it curiously logical that he
could cause shock, a sense of hypersensitive

1353
01:58:48.359 --> 01:58:54.119
smell, and testicular pain. At
the same time, the wide neckline of

1354
01:58:54.199 --> 01:58:58.560
his T- shirt slipped to one
side and revealed one of his elegant shoulders

1355
01:58:58.640 --> 01:59:04.000
and he took a slow breath and
loaded with fish sauce more and more testicular

1356
01:59:04.000 --> 01:59:09.159
pain. She grabbed a cup,
poured some coffee into it and held it

1357
01:59:09.199 --> 01:59:15.079
out, smiling at it with bright
green eyes and her hair dark brownishly brushed

1358
01:59:15.239 --> 01:59:21.680
sexyly, crowning her heart- shaped
face for you cay accepted the cup and

1359
01:59:21.760 --> 01:59:29.600
drank a sip is rich, asked
he felt it, but he actually had

1360
01:59:29.680 --> 01:59:38.039
no idea what flavor it had.
Her senses were surpassed by the burnt fish

1361
01:59:38.159 --> 01:59:45.479
sauce and by it sea foam decided
not to taste the coffee, but the

1362
01:59:45.479 --> 01:59:50.920
color of her eyes. Green sea
foam. The smile of esme became wider,

1363
01:59:51.199 --> 01:59:56.119
but immediately after it blushed and a
lock of hair was kept behind the

1364
01:59:56.199 --> 02:00:01.880
ear. Why you look at me
like that, in what way. So,

1365
02:00:02.119 --> 02:00:08.560
fixedly and for so long she said, ah Kay forced herself to turn

1366
02:00:08.600 --> 02:00:13.159
her eyes and drank another sip of
coffee to have something to do. I

1367
02:00:13.199 --> 02:00:16.800
still couldn' t feel his taste. Sometimes I forget that it bothers people,

1368
02:00:17.000 --> 02:00:21.239
He didn' t have that sense
that most people had and that indicated

1369
02:00:21.319 --> 02:00:27.560
when they had to stop making eye
contact. So if he wasn' t

1370
02:00:27.560 --> 02:00:32.359
attentive, he' d stare for
too long or he wouldn' t at

1371
02:00:32.359 --> 02:00:39.680
all. He cleared his throat.
I' ll try not to. I

1372
02:00:39.760 --> 02:00:43.319
thought I was about to say something, but she turned on herself and started

1373
02:00:43.319 --> 02:00:46.199
serving soup in a bowl full of
thick rice noodles prepared by her mother,

1374
02:00:46.439 --> 02:00:54.560
banchan onions, dried fried onion,
shrimp and thin pork slices. Once it

1375
02:00:54.600 --> 02:00:58.039
was finished, he took the bowl
to the kitchen table and left it next

1376
02:00:58.039 --> 02:01:02.840
to a mango plate in filming and
other varieties of fruit. He pulled a

1377
02:01:02.920 --> 02:01:08.359
chair aside and said to you what
came up to the table and stared at

1378
02:01:08.359 --> 02:01:14.000
the food not like fruit. Besides, it was a working day. The

1379
02:01:14.079 --> 02:01:17.399
routine was to eat a protein bar, drink a cup of water, run

1380
02:01:17.479 --> 02:01:21.880
to work, fight in the locker
room, change and be in your office

1381
02:01:21.920 --> 02:01:26.880
in less than an hour. But
today I had to take esme to the

1382
02:01:27.239 --> 02:01:32.039
restaurant first and now there was all
that food that someone would have to eat

1383
02:01:32.079 --> 02:01:40.000
and to top it up I really
hated to keep the other curse waiting I

1384
02:01:40.000 --> 02:01:45.239
would have to deal with it for
three months, plus three whole months with

1385
02:01:45.359 --> 02:01:53.600
it in his life, bending his
clinix and causing him testicle pain, confusion,

1386
02:01:53.600 --> 02:01:56.920
brain emotions and fruits. The fruit
is good for you insisted I take

1387
02:01:56.960 --> 02:02:02.279
a vitamin complex. Fruit is better
than a vitamin complex. He shook his

1388
02:02:02.319 --> 02:02:06.079
head and sat down, though all
he wanted was to run out the door

1389
02:02:06.119 --> 02:02:12.039
and start with his day. He
deserved to win a prize for demonstrating such

1390
02:02:12.119 --> 02:02:17.119
a high level of self- control. They should canonize him or even crown

1391
02:02:17.119 --> 02:02:24.760
him. Gentleman Sir Kay public accountant. She took the chair in front of

1392
02:02:24.800 --> 02:02:27.960
him and left a glass of water
on the table, even though there was

1393
02:02:28.000 --> 02:02:31.479
another one on the countertop. So, instead of sitting in a normal way,

1394
02:02:31.880 --> 02:02:35.399
he did it on one leg and
took the other to the chest and

1395
02:02:35.479 --> 02:02:41.760
waited you won' t eat anything. Kay asked, I' ve already

1396
02:02:42.840 --> 02:02:47.119
eaten, so she would just watch
him eat and people considered it weird.

1397
02:02:47.239 --> 02:02:54.399
He took a spoonful of gumy noodles
and salty soup to his mouth. She

1398
02:02:54.520 --> 02:02:57.680
knew a little saltier than usual,
as she had added more fish sauce,

1399
02:02:58.000 --> 02:03:00.800
but she was good, although he
did not have the habit of having soup.

1400
02:03:02.640 --> 02:03:06.079
When she took a look at esme, she squeezed her lips and stared

1401
02:03:06.119 --> 02:03:12.920
with determination at one of the fucking
mango slices. He was not a two

1402
02:03:13.239 --> 02:03:18.399
- year- old, why was
it happening to him that breathed in an

1403
02:03:18.439 --> 02:03:24.960
obfuscated way, took a slice of
mango and gave him a big bite,

1404
02:03:24.960 --> 02:03:27.279
an extreme acidity. It burst in
his mouth and he made a grimace.

1405
02:03:27.359 --> 02:03:32.920
While a sudden chill was traveling through
his Boagese body. He gave me a

1406
02:03:33.319 --> 02:03:39.880
laugh and he gave him a horrified
look. Why he was laughing. He

1407
02:03:39.920 --> 02:03:44.800
couldn' t stop shaking. While
trying to swallow that bite of pure citric

1408
02:03:45.760 --> 02:03:50.079
acid shit. Her eyes were filling
with tears. She contained her reaction.

1409
02:03:51.159 --> 02:03:56.720
I' m sorry, it'
s a little acidic. He said devils.

1410
02:03:57.159 --> 02:04:00.359
It was very acidic. Without uttering
a word there is. He drank

1411
02:04:00.399 --> 02:04:05.479
from his cup of coffee and shuddered
again and then drank another sip. That

1412
02:04:06.560 --> 02:04:13.920
was his new life. His life
was hell. I' m sorry,

1413
02:04:14.399 --> 02:04:17.520
I like acid. He declared esme
with a gesture of apology. Tastes good,

1414
02:04:17.640 --> 02:04:23.640
with salt and Chile, he extended
his slice of mango to half finish

1415
02:04:24.800 --> 02:04:28.880
you like this. She took the
piece from his fingers and bit it with

1416
02:04:28.920 --> 02:04:35.399
complete indifference to germ transfer. He
didn' t care about bacteria or getting

1417
02:04:35.439 --> 02:04:43.319
sick, as I was might have
kissed him that more disturbing thought smiling with

1418
02:04:43.399 --> 02:04:46.760
the green mango caught between his teeth
is told me delicious. He blinked and

1419
02:04:46.840 --> 02:04:51.960
finished the noodle soup. With this
level of tolerance for acidic foods, your

1420
02:04:53.239 --> 02:04:57.720
intestines were likely to have enough corrosive
strength to digest a whole seal calf.

1421
02:05:00.199 --> 02:05:04.439
Nature was terrifying at times. She
helped him finish the rest of his fruit.

1422
02:05:05.119 --> 02:05:11.000
Kay wasn' t willing to try
one more bite. They both cleaned

1423
02:05:11.079 --> 02:05:15.520
everything and she ran to her room
and returned thirty seconds later dressed in a

1424
02:05:15.640 --> 02:05:20.600
white shirt, black pants and hair
collected on a ponytail. After driving by

1425
02:05:20.640 --> 02:05:27.720
the adult institute and parking in his
square in front of his mother' s

1426
02:05:27.800 --> 02:05:32.159
restaurant, Kay held back and avoided
drumming her fingers against the wheel. While

1427
02:05:32.920 --> 02:05:36.279
he was picking me up his stuff. He took off his seatbelt and slowly

1428
02:05:36.399 --> 02:05:42.800
left the car. As soon as
he closed the door, he turned back

1429
02:05:42.840 --> 02:05:47.439
at last he could leave, but
she turned around. He came to his

1430
02:05:47.520 --> 02:05:51.239
side and gestured to him to lower
the window and he obeyed, even though

1431
02:05:51.600 --> 02:05:58.760
he did not want to do so. Now that now what it is he

1432
02:05:58.840 --> 02:06:02.119
looked me in the eye and said
thank you for bringing me. And with

1433
02:06:02.159 --> 02:06:08.640
regard to the looks, his lips
curved into a smile that seemed almost shy.

1434
02:06:10.079 --> 02:06:13.920
You can look at me for as
long as you want. I don

1435
02:06:14.039 --> 02:06:19.560
' t mind. Adios ancalette,
turned and walked firmly towards the front door

1436
02:06:19.680 --> 02:06:25.000
of the restaurant. The ponytail was
swinging from one side to the other.

1437
02:06:25.079 --> 02:06:29.680
With every step, he had been
set free. However, he left the

1438
02:06:29.720 --> 02:06:33.880
car still right there. He still
needed hours of sleep, he' d

1439
02:06:33.960 --> 02:06:38.600
gotten out of his routine completely.
He was very irritated. Her head hurt

1440
02:06:38.600 --> 02:06:43.800
and her testicles were still sore,
but something inside her had loosened and now

1441
02:06:43.800 --> 02:06:46.960
she wasn' t bothered so much
by the way she pronounced her name.

1442
02:06:48.439 --> 02:06:53.199
She waited until the door of the
restaurant closed behind her and Ben Ben left

1443
02:06:55.520 --> 02:06:59.199
Carol said as soon as he walked
through the door and gestured with his hand

1444
02:06:59.239 --> 02:07:01.479
to get close to the table,
where he was filling peppers come and tell

1445
02:07:01.600 --> 02:07:10.399
me everything sme slipped over the red
leather bench. He took a quick look

1446
02:07:10.439 --> 02:07:15.479
at the restaurant and looked at the
orange walls, the red benches, the

1447
02:07:15.479 --> 02:07:19.960
black tables, the huge fish tank
in the background and the familiar aromas of

1448
02:07:20.359 --> 02:07:25.279
food in a surprising way outside those
benches with backrests that separated tables from others.

1449
02:07:25.319 --> 02:07:29.239
The restaurant was no different from what
one would find in Vietnam and it

1450
02:07:29.319 --> 02:07:33.479
felt like I had returned home.
There the aroma of fish sauce was well

1451
02:07:33.600 --> 02:07:38.800
received. He took a lock of
his hair and took it to his nose,

1452
02:07:39.279 --> 02:07:42.800
but he didn' t detect anything. I washed it the night before.

1453
02:07:44.359 --> 02:07:48.479
It was clean. However, she
continued to feel an uncomfortable shame when

1454
02:07:48.520 --> 02:07:53.239
she remembered how he had opened all
the windows and the door to let out

1455
02:07:53.319 --> 02:08:00.319
a smell she had not detected.
Carol looked up at the peppermint. How

1456
02:08:00.399 --> 02:08:07.079
things are going. He shrugged his
shoulders and smiled.“ It is too

1457
02:08:07.119 --> 02:08:13.279
soon you are getting a lot of
work,” Carol asked. He promised

1458
02:08:13.319 --> 02:08:16.239
me he' d treat you like
he was his fiancée. He hastened to

1459
02:08:16.279 --> 02:08:22.000
shake my head. No, he' s been good to me. We

1460
02:08:22.119 --> 02:08:28.359
had breakfast together this morning there She
considered telling Carol that her son had left

1461
02:08:28.439 --> 02:08:31.439
her at home the whole day before, but she didn' t feel encouraged.

1462
02:08:31.359 --> 02:08:37.680
Carol raised her eyebrows and what else, that' s all. He

1463
02:08:37.720 --> 02:08:43.039
took Carol' s large pepper container
and continued to fill the peppers where Carol

1464
02:08:43.119 --> 02:08:48.279
had stopped.“ There is a
secret to dealing with my calet,”

1465
02:08:48.840 --> 02:08:52.439
Carol said after a moment of secrecy. He doesn' t talk much and

1466
02:08:52.520 --> 02:08:56.159
he' s very smart. So
people think it' s complicated, but

1467
02:08:56.520 --> 02:09:00.800
it' s really very simple.
If you want anything from him, all

1468
02:09:00.880 --> 02:09:05.600
you have to do is tell him. Just telling him esme couldn' t

1469
02:09:05.600 --> 02:09:11.600
hide the scepticism of his voice.
Yeah, just talk to him if he

1470
02:09:11.640 --> 02:09:16.319
' s too quiet. Tell him
you want me to talk to you,

1471
02:09:16.560 --> 02:09:20.680
yeah, you feel bored at home, tell him you want to go somewhere

1472
02:09:20.680 --> 02:09:26.600
with him. Never assume he knows
what you want. Because you don'

1473
02:09:26.600 --> 02:09:31.520
t, you have to tell him. I saw once you do it nine

1474
02:09:31.600 --> 02:09:35.319
out of ten times he' ll
listen most of the time. It doesn

1475
02:09:35.359 --> 02:09:39.479
' t seem to do it,
but he cares about people, even you

1476
02:09:41.520 --> 02:09:46.079
are He evaluated the serious look on
the face of the Carol woman. I

1477
02:09:46.239 --> 02:09:52.680
believed what I was saying. I
did, co Carol smiled and gave her

1478
02:09:52.760 --> 02:09:58.000
a grip on her arm. Now
let me show you around so you can

1479
02:09:58.119 --> 02:10:03.479
start working. At the end of
lunchtime, I was on the verge of

1480
02:10:03.560 --> 02:10:07.960
crying. She didn' t mind
lifting weight or standing up. He was

1481
02:10:07.960 --> 02:10:11.199
as strong as a water buffalo,
but he had forgotten that being a waitress

1482
02:10:11.239 --> 02:10:16.760
implied having to speak often in English, and that was something that also fulfilled

1483
02:10:16.800 --> 02:10:22.960
just as well as a water buffalo. Some customers had devoted impatient glances to

1484
02:10:22.960 --> 02:10:26.439
her, while she struggled to speak
one even shouted another. She had made

1485
02:10:26.560 --> 02:10:31.600
fun of herself without a plug,
and she just wanted to lock herself in

1486
02:10:31.600 --> 02:10:35.000
the bathroom and hide. For the
rest of the week. He stacked the

1487
02:10:35.039 --> 02:10:39.720
dirty dishes in the cart, cleaned
the table, cleaned it up again and

1488
02:10:39.720 --> 02:10:43.720
moved on to the next one.
He tried to clear his mind and concentrate

1489
02:10:43.840 --> 02:10:48.159
on work until he remembered that he
had been confused with the request of that

1490
02:10:48.159 --> 02:10:50.920
very table. He had run to
the food store at the end of the

1491
02:10:52.000 --> 02:10:56.840
street to buy cream just to find
out later that customers had said crepes that

1492
02:10:56.000 --> 02:11:03.159
it was going seo what most humiliating
mistake. Who was going to order only

1493
02:11:03.279 --> 02:11:09.960
cream in a nice restaurant like that. I should have thought of it better.

1494
02:11:11.399 --> 02:11:15.960
Her eyes were filled with tears and
she blinked with fury not to cry.

1495
02:11:16.000 --> 02:11:20.680
When the last client retired, she
would eat that cream and laugh at

1496
02:11:20.760 --> 02:11:26.319
the whole thing. Dirty plates in
the service cart. Cleaning the table and

1497
02:11:26.399 --> 02:11:35.439
cleaning it again with crat forgot to
look where he was walking and his hip

1498
02:11:35.560 --> 02:11:39.279
threw a chair to the floor and
to continue with his streak of bad luck,

1499
02:11:39.880 --> 02:11:43.479
the belongings of the last client that
was left on the premises were on

1500
02:11:43.520 --> 02:11:46.840
that chair and now there were dozens
of papers scattered all over the floor.

1501
02:11:48.840 --> 02:11:52.560
I' m sorry. I'
m so sorry. He hurried to say,

1502
02:11:52.920 --> 02:11:56.279
bowed and put his hands and knees
on the ground, but once he

1503
02:11:56.319 --> 02:12:03.239
was down there the task was overwhelming. There were papers everywhere under the tables

1504
02:12:03.239 --> 02:12:09.000
and the chairs were too much.
His hip hurt just like his head and

1505
02:12:09.039 --> 02:12:15.439
he wanted to scream, but he
couldn' t breathe. Don' t

1506
02:12:15.439 --> 02:12:16.840
worry. That' s why he
said a voice in an educated Vietnamese.

1507
02:12:18.760 --> 02:12:22.960
Before I realized it, they had
already collected all the papers and she was

1508
02:12:24.079 --> 02:12:28.680
sitting at a table with the vague
memory of firm hands leading her to the

1509
02:12:28.800 --> 02:12:33.880
seat and handing her a cup of
tea slowly drink it said the client.

1510
02:12:33.960 --> 02:12:39.520
As she sat in front of her
and looked at her with kind eyes,

1511
02:12:39.039 --> 02:12:43.439
she drank a sip. Jasmine tea
was warm, granular and bitter, as

1512
02:12:43.760 --> 02:12:48.800
it was the sediments of the teapot. Still helped her calm down. He

1513
02:12:48.840 --> 02:12:52.600
rinsed his face with the back of
his hand, hoping to feel the moisture

1514
02:12:52.640 --> 02:12:58.880
of the tears, but found nothing
but his own hot skin. The woman

1515
02:12:58.920 --> 02:13:03.399
had assisted her before she could break
into tears. I eat here regularly and

1516
02:13:03.479 --> 02:13:07.560
I' ve never seen you before
It' s your first day. The

1517
02:13:07.600 --> 02:13:13.439
woman asked about her appearance. I' d be about twenty years older than

1518
02:13:13.439 --> 02:13:16.920
that. The handkerchief around his neck
with the sunglasses on his head and his

1519
02:13:18.000 --> 02:13:22.840
fashionable dress gave him an air of
sophistication, though not of wealth. He

1520
02:13:22.840 --> 02:13:28.720
' s nodded to me feeling silly
you just crossed. It' s not

1521
02:13:28.720 --> 02:13:33.880
like that. There was no need
to clarify that I had crossed or where

1522
02:13:33.960 --> 02:13:41.000
I had been before Esme simply nodded
again, considering how lunch time had turned

1523
02:13:41.039 --> 02:13:45.840
out. It was too obvious that
she had just arrived in the country.

1524
02:13:46.960 --> 02:13:50.439
The woman stretched her arm over the
table and squeezed her hand all the better

1525
02:13:50.560 --> 02:13:56.760
over time. I was like you
when I first got here. Esme almost

1526
02:13:56.880 --> 02:14:01.880
told him that he only had insurance
for one summer here, but then he

1527
02:14:01.880 --> 02:14:05.039
thought it over. I didn'
t want to have to explain myself and

1528
02:14:05.079 --> 02:14:09.439
for the woman to change her kindness
for a look of prejudice. And what

1529
02:14:09.520 --> 02:14:13.760
an image I was sitting there drinking
you on his work schedule.“ He

1530
02:14:13.800 --> 02:14:18.720
stood up and as he continued to
clean the missing tables,” he said

1531
02:14:18.720 --> 02:14:24.720
thank you. I' m sorry
about the papers. My name is Coin,

1532
02:14:24.920 --> 02:14:30.760
but call me Miss Cú. That' s what my students call me

1533
02:14:30.760 --> 02:14:35.800
You' re a teacher. The
lady co- exhibited the papers she had

1534
02:14:35.920 --> 02:14:39.600
collected from the floor. That'
s right, these are my students'

1535
02:14:39.600 --> 02:14:45.439
duties. His face lit up and
he added you could join my class.

1536
02:14:46.439 --> 02:14:52.760
I teach English at night the summer
course has just begun. He took a

1537
02:14:52.840 --> 02:14:58.720
surprised breath and his rag stopped half- cleaning. His first reaction was one

1538
02:14:58.760 --> 02:15:03.960
of enthusiasm. She would love to
go back to school and it would be

1539
02:15:03.000 --> 02:15:09.319
so nice not to be embarrassed when
she spoke to the customers and it was

1540
02:15:09.319 --> 02:15:13.039
not said firmly. The nights were
not to study, they were to seduce

1541
02:15:13.079 --> 02:15:18.640
Calette. Besides, it was better
to save money for Jade. After all,

1542
02:15:18.960 --> 02:15:24.439
he was there for her, for
Jade and also for his own father.

1543
02:15:24.520 --> 02:15:28.039
Not for the sake of me.
She couldn' t justify spending if

1544
02:15:28.159 --> 02:15:33.760
it was just to make herself happy.“ No need,” he said

1545
02:15:33.760 --> 02:15:37.600
in the end,“ I can
manage a polite smile. He played on

1546
02:15:37.680 --> 02:15:43.279
Miss C' s lips before she
left a ten- dollar bill on the

1547
02:15:43.319 --> 02:15:50.239
table, picked up her things and
got up. Goodbye then, if you

1548
02:15:50.239 --> 02:15:56.239
change your mind, the Adult Institute
is right across the street. He pointed

1549
02:15:56.279 --> 02:16:00.479
out through the window to the small
white building across the busy street and then

1550
02:16:00.560 --> 02:16:05.039
withdrew almost with melancholy. He watched
her make her way across the street without

1551
02:16:05.119 --> 02:16:11.039
using the pedestrian passage. He did
not notice the sheet of paper that had

1552
02:16:11.119 --> 02:16:15.680
been left at the far end of
the restaurant until the woman had disappeared inside

1553
02:16:15.720 --> 02:16:20.039
the institute. He went to collect
the paper, which was written by someone

1554
02:16:20.119 --> 02:16:26.720
called at Jelle. Kaka began reading
and continued reading and stood there like a

1555
02:16:26.760 --> 02:16:31.120
statue until it was finished. Then
he looked out the window into high school.

1556
02:16:33.159 --> 02:16:37.319
She was in jadakakay attending high school
for the benefit of others, or

1557
02:16:37.360 --> 02:16:43.600
she only did it because she wanted
it. Scene seven. During the following

1558
02:16:43.680 --> 02:16:50.120
week, Kai had to follow a
new routine in the mornings they had breakfast

1559
02:16:50.200 --> 02:16:54.719
together Tai ate anything he was forcing
me to eat and she gobbled up tropical

1560
02:16:54.799 --> 02:17:00.680
fruits with joy. Then they were
going to work and and and he would

1561
02:17:00.680 --> 02:17:03.760
pick her up in the afternoon at
about six. That was the busiest time

1562
02:17:03.760 --> 02:17:09.440
in the restaurant, but her mother
claimed she had everything under control. Kay

1563
02:17:09.559 --> 02:17:15.479
suspected she wanted him and me to
have dinner together. That wasn' t

1564
02:17:15.600 --> 02:17:18.239
a mellow romance or anything like that, so I didn' t know why

1565
02:17:18.280 --> 02:17:24.120
His mother took so much trouble most
of the time. They reheated the lids

1566
02:17:24.120 --> 02:17:30.840
in the fridge and ate like scavengers. Other times he cooked me and he

1567
02:17:30.879 --> 02:17:33.959
had to turn on the extractor hood
and open all the windows to ventilate the

1568
02:17:33.959 --> 02:17:39.520
home. While they were eating he
was making strange comments about the work on

1569
02:17:39.559 --> 02:17:46.479
current events and about anything that happened
to him. He was trying to ignore

1570
02:17:46.559 --> 02:17:50.479
her, but he didn' t
usually succeed. After dinner I fell for

1571
02:17:52.920 --> 02:17:56.000
exercise and then watched the TV with
the low volume while working with his laptop.

1572
02:17:58.559 --> 02:18:01.959
She, for her part, either
took the time to torment him in

1573
02:18:01.079 --> 02:18:07.200
hundreds of new and creative ways.
On Tuesday, Kay found her socks rolled

1574
02:18:07.239 --> 02:18:11.440
up and stored in her drawer as
if they were cigars. On Wednesday,

1575
02:18:11.799 --> 02:18:16.000
she made Vietnamese pop sound at full
volume on her phone, while organizing by

1576
02:18:16.079 --> 02:18:20.920
color the food from her pantry,
which made it impossible for her to concentrate

1577
02:18:20.000 --> 02:18:26.319
on television or anything else. On
Thursday he cleaned his sockets, wearing only

1578
02:18:26.440 --> 02:18:33.040
a large shirt without a bra and
one of his underpants was his underpants for

1579
02:18:33.399 --> 02:18:37.799
God' s sake. They weren' t shorts and they didn' t

1580
02:18:37.799 --> 02:18:41.079
even fit him. In addition,
he had rolled his waist so much that

1581
02:18:41.120 --> 02:18:48.239
he might well have walked in Panties
by Friday. Kai was fantasizing about sending

1582
02:18:48.319 --> 02:18:52.719
her on the next flight back to
Vietnam. He couldn' t find anything

1583
02:18:52.799 --> 02:18:56.120
at home, he didn' t
sleep well, and he was so sexually

1584
02:18:56.120 --> 02:19:00.520
frustrated that his teeth hurt. I
would seriously consider bribing her to leave,

1585
02:19:00.799 --> 02:19:03.879
if it weren' t for her
mother and her threats. No way it

1586
02:19:05.040 --> 02:19:07.440
was gonna happen. That' s
why. A second time, Friday night,

1587
02:19:07.639 --> 02:19:11.920
Kay was in her bed looking at
the darkened ceiling and imagining that I

1588
02:19:13.000 --> 02:19:16.079
was firing him with joy. From
the airport security checkpoint, while he was

1589
02:19:16.159 --> 02:19:22.159
driving away at full speed. When
the bathroom door connecting his rooms opened suddenly,

1590
02:19:22.719 --> 02:19:26.079
the soft glow of the bathroom'
s night light invaded his room and

1591
02:19:26.079 --> 02:19:31.559
threw a glow. Tenue on her
face bathed in tears of esme that approached

1592
02:19:31.600 --> 02:19:35.440
the feet of Kai' s bed, He stood up and turned his hair

1593
02:19:35.479 --> 02:19:41.840
away from her face you feel well
that she went up to the bed and

1594
02:19:41.879 --> 02:19:46.479
sat right on her lap. He
hugged his neck and trembled, as he

1595
02:19:46.639 --> 02:19:54.559
clung to him with force, with
short, agitated breaths, pressed his wet

1596
02:19:54.680 --> 02:20:01.079
face against his throat. Kai remained
as rigid as a mannequin. What the

1597
02:20:01.159 --> 02:20:03.600
hell had he done to have a
woman crying clinging to him like an octopus.

1598
02:20:05.600 --> 02:20:07.840
He could not help but remember that
the blue- ringed octopus was one

1599
02:20:07.920 --> 02:20:13.200
of the most poisonous animals that existed. Don' t make the octopus angry.

1600
02:20:13.639 --> 02:20:20.319
“ What’ s going on You’ re okay,” Kay asked

1601
02:20:20.399 --> 02:20:24.319
after clarifying her voice,“ She
hugged him more tightly as if she was

1602
02:20:24.319 --> 02:20:26.600
trying to get inside him. What
there was so used to keeping people away

1603
02:20:26.600 --> 02:20:31.079
that I didn' t know what
to do with someone so close. Fortunately,

1604
02:20:31.520 --> 02:20:37.360
the contact was firm and could tolerate
it. He liked proprioception and firm

1605
02:20:37.440 --> 02:20:41.120
pressure, but a hot dampness was
soaking his bare skin and that disturbed him.

1606
02:20:43.319 --> 02:20:48.559
It' s tears, not deadly
neurotoxins. He had to remember himself

1607
02:20:48.600 --> 02:20:54.159
they took her away, took her
away, said against her chest, not

1608
02:20:54.280 --> 02:20:56.520
knowing why? What? Ay Assumed
that it was a took her away,

1609
02:20:56.680 --> 02:21:03.319
although the pronouns had no gender in
Vietnamese. So it might well have been

1610
02:21:03.399 --> 02:21:07.680
a thing I didn' t know
why, but he disliked that he might

1611
02:21:07.760 --> 02:21:11.559
be crying for me for a man. Esme tremors got worse while a sob

1612
02:21:11.600 --> 02:21:16.479
sprang out of his throat. Who
took whom his father and his wife.

1613
02:21:18.559 --> 02:21:24.280
Oh, that didn' t make
sense. I was sure in ninety-

1614
02:21:24.680 --> 02:21:30.760
nine percent that she had had a
nightmare. It had been a long time

1615
02:21:30.840 --> 02:21:35.639
since he had had one of the
inappropriate sexual fantasies they didn' t count

1616
02:21:35.680 --> 02:21:41.559
as nightmares, but in those moments
only one thing helped him feel better.

1617
02:21:41.000 --> 02:21:46.239
He surrounded her with his arms and
hugged her with an irregular sigh warmed her

1618
02:21:46.559 --> 02:21:52.159
chest and she relaxed against him with
a murmur almost instantaneously. The tremor of

1619
02:21:52.319 --> 02:21:58.440
esme calmed down an unusual feeling of
satisfaction. It expanded for him much more

1620
02:21:58.479 --> 02:22:01.440
pleasurable than round increments of time or
whole amounts of dollars at gas stations.

1621
02:22:03.280 --> 02:22:09.600
He had ended his sadness in general, doing exactly the opposite with the rest

1622
02:22:09.639 --> 02:22:15.559
of the people. For a few
long minutes she continued to hug her,

1623
02:22:16.399 --> 02:22:20.440
telling herself that she would need time
to settle down, although perhaps he also

1624
02:22:20.520 --> 02:22:24.760
liked to hug her There in the
almost darkness of her room, he admitted

1625
02:22:24.799 --> 02:22:30.120
to himself that she was nice and
smelled good like her soap, but more

1626
02:22:30.200 --> 02:22:33.920
feminine and soft and without fish sauce. He enjoyed the weight of his body

1627
02:22:33.920 --> 02:22:39.680
on his own. It was better
than three heavy quilts. Maybe he could

1628
02:22:39.680 --> 02:22:45.559
have leaned his cheek against her forehead. The breath of esme was balanced and

1629
02:22:45.600 --> 02:22:52.959
their sobs spread more and more until
they finally stopped. She moved just over

1630
02:22:52.000 --> 02:22:58.239
her lap and he realized that she
was having an erection an out of control

1631
02:22:58.600 --> 02:23:05.680
and humiliating. Before erection shit.“ If she moved a little more confident

1632
02:23:05.719 --> 02:23:11.040
that she would notice it already,” Calette asked. She stepped away and

1633
02:23:11.079 --> 02:23:13.280
rushed down from her lap. Luckily, he did not realize what was going

1634
02:23:13.360 --> 02:23:18.040
on in his crotch and he rubbed
his chest, where her tears had already

1635
02:23:18.120 --> 02:23:24.000
dried up. After a long silence, she tried to start talking several times,

1636
02:23:24.760 --> 02:23:28.479
but she held back. I can
sleep here. Tonight he finally whispered

1637
02:23:30.559 --> 02:23:33.600
at home. I slept with may
not and I won' t touch you.

1638
02:23:33.920 --> 02:23:39.120
I promise unless you want his eyes
to light up mysteriously as he watched

1639
02:23:39.200 --> 02:23:48.000
it, unless he wanted a moment
to mean having sex. No, he

1640
02:23:48.040 --> 02:23:52.000
didn' t want sex. Well, I really did. His body seemed

1641
02:23:52.040 --> 02:23:58.280
excited at the idea, but mind
beats penis and all that in his head.

1642
02:24:00.319 --> 02:24:05.799
Sex was intermingled with romantic relationships and, since he was not qualified for

1643
02:24:05.840 --> 02:24:11.680
such relationships, it made a lot
of sense to avoid sex. For Colmo.

1644
02:24:13.120 --> 02:24:16.719
Touch was very difficult for him.
It was good with hugging, but

1645
02:24:18.200 --> 02:24:24.440
everything else could become a problem.
He had enough to contain to instruct his

1646
02:24:24.479 --> 02:24:28.239
hairdresser on how to deal with him. I didn' t want to do

1647
02:24:28.239 --> 02:24:31.360
it with a woman. Before the
act, he looked at the empty half

1648
02:24:31.440 --> 02:24:37.360
of his double bed. The sheets
and the quilt were perfectly smooth immaculate and

1649
02:24:37.440 --> 02:24:43.079
he liked it that way. I
always felt a certain satisfaction. When she

1650
02:24:43.120 --> 02:24:46.040
woke up in the morning and didn' t have to do the other side

1651
02:24:46.000 --> 02:24:50.559
of the bed, rubbing her elbow, she turned away from him. I

1652
02:24:50.600 --> 02:24:54.920
' m sorry I' m going
to whisper. You can sleep here if

1653
02:24:56.040 --> 02:25:01.319
you want to take back the hell
sheets. He was like that. I

1654
02:25:01.399 --> 02:25:05.479
didn' t want to share the
bed with her, but it seemed like

1655
02:25:05.520 --> 02:25:07.520
she was about to cry again and
she couldn' t be sad. He

1656
02:25:07.520 --> 02:25:15.360
was always happy, always smiling seriously
asked Covering his mouth surprised, he pulled

1657
02:25:16.399 --> 02:25:20.159
his hair away from his forehead.
It was a terrible idea. I had

1658
02:25:20.280 --> 02:25:26.680
it very clear. I may snore
calmly. My grandmother snores like a motorcycle.

1659
02:25:28.719 --> 02:25:31.440
I don' t mind. He
responded with a big smile. There

1660
02:25:31.479 --> 02:25:37.879
was that smile. It wasn'
t trivial. Calette realized she was relaxing

1661
02:25:37.920 --> 02:25:43.879
muscles she didn' t know she
had had in tension. She slipped under

1662
02:25:43.920 --> 02:25:48.319
the sheets, leaned her head on
the pillow and lay sideways looking at him.

1663
02:25:50.600 --> 02:25:54.520
Calet lay on his back and stared
at the roof. They were one

1664
02:25:54.600 --> 02:26:01.559
arm away, but still. His
heart threatened to go into cardiorespiratory arrest.

1665
02:26:03.440 --> 02:26:07.239
It was weird. He had slept
with his cousins before, but that had

1666
02:26:07.319 --> 02:26:13.239
nothing to do with it. He
didn' t know he was attracted to

1667
02:26:13.239 --> 02:26:18.479
his cousins. Their cousins did not
cut down trees with meat knives, nor

1668
02:26:18.559 --> 02:26:22.799
put on their underpants, nor did
they want to marry him. Her cousins

1669
02:26:22.840 --> 02:26:26.319
didn' t run to her bed
when they had nightmares. He was just

1670
02:26:26.399 --> 02:26:31.559
doing it to me. Thank you. Ancalet said he pulled the sheets up

1671
02:26:31.600 --> 02:26:39.040
to his neck. You' re
welcome to try to get some sleep at

1672
02:26:39.200 --> 02:26:41.760
my cousin sara' s wedding.
It is. Tomorrow, Caleta wrinkled her

1673
02:26:41.760 --> 02:26:46.799
forehead when she realized she hadn'
t mentioned it before. You don'

1674
02:26:46.920 --> 02:26:48.360
t have to go if you don' t want to, but I do.

1675
02:26:50.280 --> 02:26:54.000
You' d like to go to
your mother' s. He told

1676
02:26:54.040 --> 02:26:58.760
me about the wedding. I want
to hear yes. The voice of esme

1677
02:26:58.879 --> 02:27:03.840
vibrated enthusiastically and he drowned a sigh. At least one of us would have

1678
02:27:03.879 --> 02:27:13.040
a great time. Then good night, let me tell you to sleep well

1679
02:27:13.040 --> 02:27:16.799
Ancalette for a while. He was
aware that she was looking at him.

1680
02:27:16.760 --> 02:27:20.879
She could almost feel the rays of
happiness that she emanated and bounced off her

1681
02:27:22.000 --> 02:27:26.040
face, but it wasn' t
long before she fell asleep. I didn

1682
02:27:26.159 --> 02:27:30.280
' t snore or take up too
much space. However, his mere presence

1683
02:27:30.360 --> 02:27:35.399
caused him to enter a state of
alarm. There was a woman in her

1684
02:27:35.399 --> 02:27:39.239
bed. His life was completely out
of control and he would have to attend

1685
02:27:39.319 --> 02:27:46.280
a wedding the next day. That
night, Calette didn' t hit scene

1686
02:27:46.280 --> 02:27:52.479
eight. The next day, in
the afternoon, while Esme and Caleta waited

1687
02:27:52.520 --> 02:27:56.040
for the ceremony to begin in the
hotel' s golden dance hall, he

1688
02:27:56.120 --> 02:28:00.440
released the last thing she would have
expected to hear from this wedding was missing

1689
02:28:00.440 --> 02:28:05.120
something. He looked at the high
floral arrangements, the glass chandeliers and the

1690
02:28:05.159 --> 02:28:11.520
setting of the French palace and shook
his head what was missing. I thought

1691
02:28:11.639 --> 02:28:16.280
you' d know, I don' t identify what it is. He

1692
02:28:16.319 --> 02:28:20.239
cleared his throat and pulled the neck
of his shirt as if his tie was

1693
02:28:20.280 --> 02:28:26.280
too tight. She looked back at
the living room, but nothing caught her

1694
02:28:26.319 --> 02:28:31.639
attention. She clearly didn' t
know what to expect from an American wedding

1695
02:28:31.680 --> 02:28:35.440
and barely knew Vietnamese weddings, as
she had personally skipped that part of the

1696
02:28:35.520 --> 02:28:39.280
process of having a baby The fact
that he could believe that that wedding was

1697
02:28:39.399 --> 02:28:43.600
missing something, when it was as
perfect as she could imagine. He said

1698
02:28:43.680 --> 02:28:50.920
a lot about American weddings. A
flutist began to play and a girl with

1699
02:28:50.040 --> 02:28:56.840
two ponytails wore flowers and threw rose
petals, as she walked down the aisle

1700
02:28:56.879 --> 02:29:01.000
between rows and rows of men dressed
in suits and women women dressed in auda

1701
02:29:01.079 --> 02:29:05.399
and party dresses. The bride,
wearing a gazza dress that seemed to be

1702
02:29:05.440 --> 02:29:09.879
made of clouds, took her father' s arm and walked to the altar,

1703
02:29:09.319 --> 02:29:13.479
where the groom was waiting for her, who watched her as if it

1704
02:29:13.559 --> 02:29:16.879
were the most important thing in the
world. At Esmes knots were formed in

1705
02:29:16.920 --> 02:29:22.200
his throat and, although he tried
to ignore them, his desire became so

1706
02:29:22.239 --> 02:29:26.719
intense that his chest hurt. She
didn' t need live music, such

1707
02:29:26.799 --> 02:29:31.280
an elegant place or such a beautiful
dress, but the rest, throughout the

1708
02:29:31.319 --> 02:29:37.319
ceremonies, discovered that she watched Calet
more than her boyfriends. He was concentrated,

1709
02:29:37.719 --> 02:29:41.600
with his usual intensity in the couple' s vows and she wanted to

1710
02:29:41.639 --> 02:29:45.159
extend her arm and go through the
marked lines of her profile. Anything that

1711
02:29:45.200 --> 02:29:48.559
would make her feel closer to him. They were side by side, but

1712
02:29:48.959 --> 02:29:54.360
he felt very far away. He' d belong to you sometime. Calet

1713
02:29:54.440 --> 02:29:58.399
had comforted her the night before for
the first time since she had arrived.

1714
02:29:58.520 --> 02:30:03.440
She was enjoying a good night'
s sleep. She had no nightmares in

1715
02:30:03.479 --> 02:30:07.879
which the womanizer, the father of
her daughter and her wealthy wife took Jade,

1716
02:30:07.399 --> 02:30:11.360
nor did she feel the guilt that
accused her of being selfish. By

1717
02:30:11.399 --> 02:30:16.840
staying with her daughter, she kept
repeating that she had not done it for

1718
02:30:16.920 --> 02:30:22.719
her alone, mostly for Jade,
because the love for her daughter was enough

1719
02:30:22.840 --> 02:30:31.920
to make a difference and that love
had brought her there. Maybe not another

1720
02:30:31.040 --> 02:30:35.399
kind of love could grow between her
and Calet. If he opened up to

1721
02:30:35.479 --> 02:30:39.959
her, it felt like I was
about to get to him, who was

1722
02:30:41.000 --> 02:30:48.200
very close. Maybe it would happen
that same night. Maybe when the grooms

1723
02:30:48.319 --> 02:30:52.760
danced, they kissed and the audience
burst into applause. Everyone stood up as

1724
02:30:52.799 --> 02:30:56.200
Sara and her new husband passed between
them with broad smiles on their faces.

1725
02:30:58.840 --> 02:31:03.600
The cameras flashed, the screens on
the phones went off and bubbles floated in

1726
02:31:03.639 --> 02:31:07.959
the air. When they announced it
was time to go to the banquet hall

1727
02:31:07.000 --> 02:31:11.520
for the reception. He put courage
on me and between the single hand around

1728
02:31:11.559 --> 02:31:15.840
Calette' s arm. His body
strained as he looked down and gazed at

1729
02:31:15.879 --> 02:31:22.399
her fingers on the sleeve of his
jacket. He held my breath horribly conscious

1730
02:31:22.440 --> 02:31:26.879
of how little graceful his fingers were
leaning on him, those unsophisticated fingers and

1731
02:31:26.959 --> 02:31:33.440
short fingernails. Her mother had beautiful
hands and often regretted that Esmen had not

1732
02:31:33.520 --> 02:31:39.719
inherited them. She said she had
trucker' s hands. Foolish comments fluttered

1733
02:31:39.719 --> 02:31:46.959
over his head, things he could
tell Calet to try and get him to

1734
02:31:46.959 --> 02:31:50.200
smile, but he didn' t
say. She felt too anxious to make

1735
02:31:50.239 --> 02:31:56.120
jokes. After all, he didn' t relax, but he didn'

1736
02:31:56.200 --> 02:32:00.760
t turn her away either. That
was good. No, but they'

1737
02:32:00.760 --> 02:32:05.600
re adorable. A woman in a
dry tone said a beautiful woman with straight

1738
02:32:05.680 --> 02:32:09.879
bangs wearing her lips painted in a
natural color and wearing a sober black dress.

1739
02:32:11.000 --> 02:32:16.280
He approached them and Calette stepped aside
to embrace her hello little brother,

1740
02:32:16.879 --> 02:32:22.120
hello ube and Greek. The woman
took an invisible lint from the shoulders of

1741
02:32:22.159 --> 02:32:26.079
the suit and inspected it as a
mother cat with her kittens would have to

1742
02:32:26.120 --> 02:32:31.959
cut your hair. It' s
okay like this. Anyway, Calet took

1743
02:32:31.360 --> 02:32:35.680
her hair off her face is I
was about to say that she offered to

1744
02:32:35.799 --> 02:32:41.399
cut it off, but contained her
words. Those people didn' t cut

1745
02:32:41.440 --> 02:32:46.360
their hair at home judging by the
place and the design garments. They probably

1746
02:32:46.360 --> 02:32:50.079
did it in elegant beauty parlors where
he offered them. Before it a neck

1747
02:32:50.120 --> 02:32:58.000
massage, Ubé and Greek squeezed his
lips. You' re getting out of

1748
02:32:58.040 --> 02:33:03.319
control unless you want to leave it
along. Sure, maybe it would suit

1749
02:33:03.319 --> 02:33:07.120
you. I' ll take care
of it. Calette, ube and Griega

1750
02:33:07.200 --> 02:33:11.479
answered and touched the flap of the
suit. This is the one I chose

1751
02:33:11.559 --> 02:33:18.879
for you Yes, that' s
why I like it so calmly The woman

1752
02:33:18.920 --> 02:33:22.920
finally turned Caletti' s eyes and
focused on Esme, so here she is.

1753
02:33:24.000 --> 02:33:31.079
He smiled at me with hesitation,
not knowing what to expect Hello chb

1754
02:33:31.079 --> 02:33:35.120
and Greek. Ube and Greek shook
his hand and gave him a smile just

1755
02:33:35.200 --> 02:33:39.440
as he tried. You are Yes, the eyes of ube and Greek traveled

1756
02:33:39.479 --> 02:33:45.000
through Esme' s tiny green dress
and her almost naked limbs and her face

1757
02:33:45.120 --> 02:33:50.959
adopted a careful empty expression. Esme
tried to pull the hem off her skirt

1758
02:33:50.959 --> 02:33:54.440
without anyone noticing it. She should
have put on something else, something that

1759
02:33:54.440 --> 02:33:58.319
Grandma approved and had no cheap sequins
and sparkles, but she hadn' t

1760
02:33:58.319 --> 02:34:03.200
realized it wasn' t appropriate until
she saw the rest of the party dresses,

1761
02:34:03.319 --> 02:34:09.440
sober and derelict. I changed it
to esme when I arrived here,

1762
02:34:09.959 --> 02:34:13.239
ah that pretty replied ube and Greek
with a slow and strange Vietnamese, indicating

1763
02:34:13.280 --> 02:34:16.559
that I did not speak it frequently, but that I had used it for

1764
02:34:16.559 --> 02:34:22.319
esme. It' s from my
son' s favorite movie It' s

1765
02:34:22.319 --> 02:34:24.799
my favorite Jesny movie. He hurried
to correct and then bit his lip.

1766
02:34:26.040 --> 02:34:31.680
Now that I had explained it out
loud, I didn' t read it

1767
02:34:31.719 --> 02:34:37.120
seemed like a very elegant way to
choose a name and she had to be

1768
02:34:37.120 --> 02:34:43.280
elegant like ube and Greek, like
Calette, like all those people I'

1769
02:34:43.280 --> 02:34:46.440
m an accountant in Vitnam. A
sincere smile was drawn on the lips of

1770
02:34:46.520 --> 02:34:52.520
ube and Greek. When he looked
at his brother Go, he didn'

1771
02:34:52.520 --> 02:34:56.799
t know. It' s wonderful. He squeezed Calette' s arm like

1772
02:34:56.840 --> 02:35:01.479
he' d had a good luck
streak. The lying heart of esme contracted

1773
02:35:01.520 --> 02:35:07.319
and beat harder. The heavens should
punish her at that very moment for being

1774
02:35:07.360 --> 02:35:11.280
so horrible. At least now I
had a vague idea of what accounting was,

1775
02:35:13.000 --> 02:35:16.760
because I had been reading Calete'
s articles secretly, as she was

1776
02:35:16.799 --> 02:35:20.319
supposed to be an expert, but
in general I had ended up lost within

1777
02:35:20.399 --> 02:35:28.440
those dictionaries here it is, there' s the beautiful young lady said a

1778
02:35:28.440 --> 02:35:31.959
familiar voice. As Carola wrapped in
a strong embrace of esme, a knot

1779
02:35:33.040 --> 02:35:37.399
was knotted in her stomach, Caleta' s mother would have heard her lie.

1780
02:35:37.479 --> 02:35:43.680
I would be ashamed of her right
now by all the heavens, the

1781
02:35:43.040 --> 02:35:46.319
earth, the demons and the gods. Why he was lying like that.

1782
02:35:48.399 --> 02:35:52.440
She wasn' t like that.
Chao, Carol, said Carol looked at

1783
02:35:52.479 --> 02:35:58.319
the green dress of esme and smiled
with approval, no matter what looks like

1784
02:35:58.319 --> 02:36:03.799
a whore. You look great,
pretty, you liked the ceremony. You

1785
02:36:03.840 --> 02:36:07.879
' re having fun. Beautiful young
lady, yes, she has been beautiful

1786
02:36:07.920 --> 02:36:13.559
as a dream and now you call
her. In that way he interrupted be

1787
02:36:13.600 --> 02:36:18.879
and greek. You know you have
a daughter. True thing turned away from

1788
02:36:18.000 --> 02:36:24.159
esme and stroked Ubé' s arm
and Greek tried to make the gesture look

1789
02:36:24.159 --> 02:36:28.079
comforting, but did so in the
same way as peeling carrots in the restaurant.

1790
02:36:28.040 --> 02:36:33.159
You too are my beautiful young lady, a smile that was more of

1791
02:36:33.239 --> 02:36:39.760
a tense grimace spread in the mouth
of Ubé and Greek. Hey, what

1792
02:36:39.879 --> 02:36:43.959
' s this? Carol gestured with
both hands toward the space between Esmey Calette.

1793
02:36:46.760 --> 02:36:52.040
Why are you two so separated,
you don' t seem to be

1794
02:36:52.040 --> 02:36:56.719
engaged. Calette blanked her eyes and
took a step towards Esme. Better,

1795
02:36:58.760 --> 02:37:03.360
Carol, next to one more bo
his hands and he took another step and

1796
02:37:03.479 --> 02:37:09.200
put your arm around her come.
Calet released a tense sigh, passed an

1797
02:37:09.239 --> 02:37:13.600
arm around Esme' s shoulders and
drew her closer to him. He knew

1798
02:37:13.680 --> 02:37:16.879
that it wasn' t right that
he had been forced to do it,

1799
02:37:16.399 --> 02:37:20.159
but he liked that he held it
that way there among all those people.

1800
02:37:22.200 --> 02:37:26.399
It made them look like a couple
and helped her not feel so out of

1801
02:37:26.399 --> 02:37:30.440
place. Someone in the middle of
the room called Carol and she slapped Esme

1802
02:37:30.520 --> 02:37:37.520
on the cheek have fun tonight and
if you need anything let me know,

1803
02:37:37.200 --> 02:37:43.520
as soon as her mother had retired. Calet dropped Esme' s shoulder arm

1804
02:37:43.639 --> 02:37:46.440
and followed the crowd into a second
ballroom that looked even more golden than him.

1805
02:37:50.040 --> 02:37:56.120
First, huge bouquets decorated with ornaments
of the same tone would be placed

1806
02:37:58.360 --> 02:38:01.559
on the tables from the top of
vases or also golden ones. Even the

1807
02:38:01.600 --> 02:38:07.840
bowls of Champagne were lined with gold. Esme Caletti and her sister sat at

1808
02:38:07.920 --> 02:38:11.520
a round table for ten next to
several of her cousins. Presentations were made

1809
02:38:11.559 --> 02:38:18.280
and hands were tightened. Angie,
Sophie, Eviet Hanney and Madiy complained that

1810
02:38:18.319 --> 02:38:22.680
their brother Maco would not attend that
night, as his fiancée did not like

1811
02:38:22.799 --> 02:38:28.719
the big parties and he was dominated
with just one glance. Esme realized that

1812
02:38:28.760 --> 02:38:33.079
they were also mestizos. There was
something familiar about them, but instead of

1813
02:38:33.120 --> 02:38:39.399
feeling one more, it felt even
more out of place. They had an

1814
02:38:39.440 --> 02:38:45.040
American style that is I lacked and
they also had beautiful hands. Sme sat

1815
02:38:45.040 --> 02:38:50.639
on his hands to hide them.
It wouldn' t be wonderful if Calet

1816
02:38:50.719 --> 02:38:54.879
had ugly hands, too. If
that were the case, they' d

1817
02:38:54.879 --> 02:38:58.520
be the ideal couple. He took
a look at his hands and discovered that

1818
02:38:58.559 --> 02:39:05.600
he had them still held by an
article. I was reading at a wedding

1819
02:39:05.639 --> 02:39:11.600
and wearing black- mounted reading glasses. The glasses made it look smarter and

1820
02:39:11.680 --> 02:39:18.120
more serious, absolutely irresistible. He
had been keeping them in his pocket and

1821
02:39:18.200 --> 02:39:22.360
where that article had come from.
It was about something sexy like accounting or

1822
02:39:22.399 --> 02:39:28.239
math. He bowed his head to
see the cover. He failed to distinguish

1823
02:39:28.319 --> 02:39:33.440
the title, but he was pretty
sure he had seen a spaceship and a

1824
02:39:33.479 --> 02:39:35.959
green- skinned creature with horns.
It had nothing to do with the work

1825
02:39:37.000 --> 02:39:41.360
he was ignoring everyone at that very
expensive wedding, she included so he could

1826
02:39:41.479 --> 02:39:48.000
read a novel about alien demonic creatures. His confusion must have been reflected in

1827
02:39:48.079 --> 02:39:52.159
all his face, because Calet'
s sister gave him an understanding look.

1828
02:39:54.040 --> 02:39:58.719
He always does that at weddings.
He announced b and greek sodia, but

1829
02:39:58.799 --> 02:40:03.840
my mother forces him to see.
He' d rather attend a tax seminar

1830
02:40:03.879 --> 02:40:09.239
as if by magic. Calette looked
up from her article. You' re

1831
02:40:09.280 --> 02:40:13.799
talking about tax seminars. Ubé and
Greek river and supported the chin in their

1832
02:40:13.840 --> 02:40:22.799
hands you two should be talking about
taxation. After all, you' re

1833
02:40:24.280 --> 02:40:28.719
both accountants. You make an ideal
couple. He forced me to sketch a

1834
02:40:28.760 --> 02:40:35.120
smile. Tell me about your work. He closed the article and left his

1835
02:40:35.159 --> 02:40:39.920
finger in the middle to not lose
the page looked amazingly attractive and smart with

1836
02:40:41.040 --> 02:40:46.559
those glasses. I' m still
working on the transfer pricing project. You

1837
02:40:46.600 --> 02:40:52.120
' re familiar with that kind of
work. She felt enthusiastically, even though

1838
02:40:52.159 --> 02:40:58.200
she had no idea what she was
talking about. Of course, without a

1839
02:40:58.319 --> 02:41:01.520
doubt it would make me a r
uera in your next life. The next

1840
02:41:01.600 --> 02:41:07.440
day I would have to find out
what transfer prices meant. I am having

1841
02:41:07.479 --> 02:41:13.520
trouble automating the process to ensure that
transactions between subsidiary companies are governed by the

1842
02:41:13.520 --> 02:41:18.159
principle of full competition or arm distance. It is a challenge, as there

1843
02:41:18.200 --> 02:41:24.280
are no two subsidiaries that are the
same. There are always individual factors to

1844
02:41:24.319 --> 02:41:33.879
consider. I explain distance from an
arm that ended stranger and how distant the

1845
02:41:33.000 --> 02:41:37.559
river She had made him laugh and
the sound was deep, rich in nuances

1846
02:41:37.600 --> 02:41:43.920
and beautiful. I wanted to hear
it. Laugh more often, much more

1847
02:41:45.040 --> 02:41:52.360
often than funny. But they'
re companies not people. Companies are formed

1848
02:41:52.399 --> 02:41:58.840
by people. Businesses don' t
have feelings. If companies are formed by

1849
02:41:58.840 --> 02:42:05.639
people and people have feelings, then
companies have feelings. I' m pretty

1850
02:42:05.639 --> 02:42:11.360
sure transfer prices have nothing to do
with feelings. She commented b and greek

1851
02:42:11.440 --> 02:42:15.479
while devoting a look of skepticism to
Esme, whose face blushed with shame,

1852
02:42:15.600 --> 02:42:22.360
but Calet surprised her by still saying
so. I like your reasoning. The

1853
02:42:22.399 --> 02:42:26.920
transitive relationship is indisputable. Then she
smiled and realized that it was the first

1854
02:42:26.959 --> 02:42:31.920
real smile I had ever seen.
The corners of his eyes wrinkled and dimpled

1855
02:42:31.959 --> 02:42:39.440
on each side of his face.
He was too handsome. Her gaze was

1856
02:42:39.479 --> 02:42:43.639
direct and lasted too long, but
she didn' t care at the time

1857
02:42:45.040 --> 02:42:50.040
she belonged well, she belonged to
Esmela the accountant, the real esme,

1858
02:42:50.360 --> 02:42:54.600
she wasn' t smart. There
are no deductible expenses for bribery in bit

1859
02:42:54.639 --> 02:43:00.959
Nam added she remembering that he had
n n n that issue. On his

1860
02:43:01.079 --> 02:43:05.120
first day together. That was another
thing she had sought, but once she

1861
02:43:07.639 --> 02:43:15.520
had understood the concept she had angered
the bribes. He bowed his head to

1862
02:43:15.680 --> 02:43:20.879
one side. I' m surprised. In many countries they are simply part

1863
02:43:20.920 --> 02:43:26.600
of business and what happens to those
who cannot pay bribes, they cannot do

1864
02:43:26.639 --> 02:43:33.600
business. This is how the rich
remained rich and the poor remained poor.

1865
02:43:33.280 --> 02:43:39.399
Unless they cheated, tried, got
lucky or got married. You' re

1866
02:43:39.399 --> 02:43:45.280
right. Calette looked at her in
a different way and made her feel warmth

1867
02:43:45.399 --> 02:43:50.600
all over her body. It was
a look of respect for the accountant or

1868
02:43:50.680 --> 02:43:54.879
the person behind her lies. He
looked into his mind for more things to

1869
02:43:54.959 --> 02:43:58.319
say to make him keep looking at
her that way. But Calette pulled back

1870
02:43:58.399 --> 02:44:03.719
on his shirt neck like he was
strangling him. He drank a sip of

1871
02:44:03.799 --> 02:44:09.239
ice water and cleared his throat distracted
from this wedding. There' s something

1872
02:44:09.239 --> 02:44:13.319
missing here. Someone' s missing
He pointed the empty chair at me next

1873
02:44:13.319 --> 02:44:18.360
to her. That' s the
place of oan. He told me he

1874
02:44:18.479 --> 02:44:24.879
couldn' t come, that'
s not it, but he stared at

1875
02:44:24.959 --> 02:44:31.159
the empty chair for a while and
said nothing was wrong. She noticed how

1876
02:44:31.239 --> 02:44:35.639
he would pass the pages of his
article by moving his thumb over the corners.

1877
02:44:37.200 --> 02:44:45.040
Fliit flit fliit. I' ve
never seen him play like that with

1878
02:44:45.040 --> 02:44:50.200
his hands. What could be missing
at that perfect wedding. The waiters served

1879
02:44:50.280 --> 02:44:54.760
salad and then the main dish,
consisting of a juicy piece of meat and

1880
02:44:54.840 --> 02:45:01.440
a lobster tail. Where was the
delicious head and its rubbery legs. She

1881
02:45:01.479 --> 02:45:05.360
was stabbing the lobster meat with her
fork and removing the shell with the spoon.

1882
02:45:05.840 --> 02:45:09.280
They all acted like they were going
to die and touched food with their

1883
02:45:09.280 --> 02:45:11.079
hands. When the bride, groom, and full courtship approached their table,

1884
02:45:11.680 --> 02:45:16.840
they all stood up to toast to
the newlyweds and Calette put a glass of

1885
02:45:16.200 --> 02:45:20.719
champagne in the hands of Esme ube
and Greek, and their cousins lifted their

1886
02:45:20.719 --> 02:45:28.399
glasses of happiness. Derrick and Sara
drank champagne and threw exclamations. When the

1887
02:45:28.440 --> 02:45:35.239
couple kissed, while the sweet bubbles
tickled on Esme' s tongue, she

1888
02:45:35.680 --> 02:45:41.879
looked at Calette above the edge of
her glass. He had exchanged his cup

1889
02:45:41.920 --> 02:45:50.399
for the article and again was passing
the Fliit Fliitcliit pages. I kept thinking

1890
02:45:50.479 --> 02:45:56.200
something was missing. Sara, the
bride separated from her husband and approached Calette.

1891
02:45:58.079 --> 02:46:01.399
It had been changed and now it
looked like a wedding da and red

1892
02:46:01.520 --> 02:46:05.920
that had golden dragons and phoenix embroidered. It' s I missed the white

1893
02:46:05.040 --> 02:46:11.159
dress and her puffy skirts. If
he ever got married, he' d

1894
02:46:11.200 --> 02:46:16.000
wear his wedding dress all the time, even to dance. He wouldn'

1895
02:46:16.120 --> 02:46:20.719
t mind the tradition. Thanks for
coming. I know you don' t

1896
02:46:20.799 --> 02:46:26.959
like weddings. Sara Calet continued to
pass the pages of her article. No

1897
02:46:26.040 --> 02:46:35.200
wonder Sara smiled nostalgically. I remember
when we were going to little weddings you

1898
02:46:35.239 --> 02:46:39.159
and Andy used to hide in the
bathroom during the dance to play video games,

1899
02:46:39.399 --> 02:46:46.559
Calette' s fingers paralyzed over the
article and stayed motionless unnaturally. That

1900
02:46:46.719 --> 02:46:54.719
' s Andy, Sara took a
quick breath what you mean. I'

1901
02:46:54.719 --> 02:46:58.920
ve been wondering all night what'
s missing from this wedding. Calette explained.

1902
02:46:58.920 --> 02:47:05.159
It' s his it should be
here. After a second of unbelief.

1903
02:47:05.559 --> 02:47:09.000
Her cousin' s face contracted and
thick tears fell on her face,

1904
02:47:09.239 --> 02:47:15.959
ruining her carefully applied makeup. Why
you who can me as much as I

1905
02:47:16.000 --> 02:47:20.799
can, covered your mouth and ran
out of the living room. The groom

1906
02:47:20.840 --> 02:47:26.040
looked at Calet for a long time
as if there was something he wanted to

1907
02:47:26.440 --> 02:47:30.680
say, but in the end he
ran after his wife without uttering a word.

1908
02:47:31.639 --> 02:47:35.840
Everyone at his table looked at each
other in awe and in awe.

1909
02:47:35.520 --> 02:47:39.760
Find me when you' re ready
to go. Calet hit himself with the

1910
02:47:39.799 --> 02:47:45.719
article on his thigh and turned to
retire. He took me a step towards

1911
02:47:45.840 --> 02:47:52.760
him. I' ll go with
you no longer dance have fun, I

1912
02:47:52.760 --> 02:47:56.959
' ll be out here. He
gestured toward the exit, turned his hair

1913
02:47:56.000 --> 02:48:01.479
out of his eyes and left is
n s rs there still stunned, watching

1914
02:48:01.479 --> 02:48:07.200
as he opened his way between the
tables and exited the Ballroom. When the

1915
02:48:07.280 --> 02:48:09.760
door closed behind him he sank into
his seat, which was now between two

1916
02:48:09.840 --> 02:48:20.079
empty chairs. What just happened,
why Calette was leaving. Who Andy was.

1917
02:48:20.040 --> 02:48:24.079
He was Sara' s boyfriend,
someone Calette preferred over the boyfriend.

1918
02:48:24.840 --> 02:48:28.959
She wanted to ask the other guests
at the table, but they were talking

1919
02:48:30.079 --> 02:48:35.239
to each other quietly and avoiding their
bewildering looks how she expected her to enjoy

1920
02:48:35.360 --> 02:48:39.360
the wedding alone. I was supposed
to dance with a man. At random

1921
02:48:41.360 --> 02:48:43.280
perhaps with that middle- aged man
who was at the table, next to

1922
02:48:43.399 --> 02:48:48.760
him, who had drunk three beers, who wore a red leather jacket and

1923
02:48:48.879 --> 02:48:54.319
wore curls At shoulder height he leaned
one hand over his forehead. I didn

1924
02:48:54.440 --> 02:48:58.559
' t want to dance with that
maco Jacks in Asian. I just wanted

1925
02:48:58.559 --> 02:49:03.440
to dance with Callet. He walked
away from the table, I' ll

1926
02:49:05.440 --> 02:49:07.719
go get him, ubé and Greek. He shook his head. Maybe he

1927
02:49:07.799 --> 02:49:11.719
doesn' t want it to be
me. He didn' t hear the

1928
02:49:11.760 --> 02:49:15.440
rest of what he said. Calette' s sister ran after him, but

1929
02:49:15.520 --> 02:49:22.200
she searched and searched and found him
nowhere. It was not in the luxurious

1930
02:49:22.280 --> 02:49:26.799
lobby of the hotel. Neither in
the living rooms nor in the parking lot

1931
02:49:26.879 --> 02:49:31.440
across the street. I' d
be reading in some bathroom while she was

1932
02:49:31.520 --> 02:49:35.719
looking for him until his feet were
beat. He was about to knock on

1933
02:49:35.799 --> 02:49:39.360
the door of the men' s
room, but the sign at another nearby

1934
02:49:39.440 --> 02:49:43.399
door caught his attention. It said
his costume hit, Kiele and Greek.

1935
02:49:43.479 --> 02:49:48.040
Maybe he was there. When he
realized the door wasn' t locked,

1936
02:49:48.520 --> 02:49:54.760
he entered the place. He seemed
to have suffered a catastrophe in coconut-

1937
02:49:54.040 --> 02:49:58.159
coating bases, giant bags of chips
and shoes scattered all over the ground.

1938
02:50:00.239 --> 02:50:05.200
A pile of clothes occupied all the
space to sit on a small sofa and

1939
02:50:05.319 --> 02:50:09.680
calette was not in sight. He
spotted an open door on the wall at

1940
02:50:09.719 --> 02:50:13.239
the bottom and made his way through
the chaos to see that there was on

1941
02:50:13.360 --> 02:50:18.799
the other side and he ran out
of breath. Bride' s dress hung

1942
02:50:18.879 --> 02:50:22.760
from the bar, from the curtain
of a large window. The white cloth

1943
02:50:22.879 --> 02:50:26.239
of Gaza caught the soft light perfectly, not knowing what it was doing.

1944
02:50:28.040 --> 02:50:31.000
He walked me slowly through the dressing
room and passed his fingers through the elegant

1945
02:50:31.000 --> 02:50:35.760
skirt. He doubted that at some
point he could wear something so beautiful even

1946
02:50:35.840 --> 02:50:41.120
at his own wedding, if he
ever got married. I had heard whispers

1947
02:50:41.239 --> 02:50:45.840
that it was a berwane dress and
that it was worth about ten thousand dollars.

1948
02:50:46.920 --> 02:50:50.360
But while I was there in that
room I did it occurred to you

1949
02:50:50.440 --> 02:50:56.120
that maybe I could wear a dress
like that and I didn' t have

1950
02:50:56.120 --> 02:51:00.639
to get married to do it?
I could wear that same dress at the

1951
02:51:00.719 --> 02:51:05.879
same time I would do it quickly
just to know what it felt like and

1952
02:51:05.920 --> 02:51:09.920
then I would continue looking for calette
around the hotel. No one would know.

1953
02:51:11.040 --> 02:51:13.399
He lowered the zipper of his green
dress and let it fall at his

1954
02:51:13.479 --> 02:51:20.799
feet before taking off his shoes and
sighed. When his swollen feet were horizontal

1955
02:51:20.879 --> 02:51:26.319
on the carpet. He had not
put on a bra under the dress and

1956
02:51:26.440 --> 02:51:31.360
chills climbed his bare breasts wearing nothing
but his panties. He stretched out his

1957
02:51:31.520 --> 02:51:37.159
hand toward the hanger of the garment, and put on tiptoes and stretched his

1958
02:51:37.280 --> 02:51:41.879
arm as far up as possible,
higher, higher, but the tips of

1959
02:51:41.920 --> 02:51:46.479
his fingers could not reach him.
Just as I was taking the urge to

1960
02:51:46.520 --> 02:51:52.360
jump, the door in the other
room opened, it wasn' t the

1961
02:51:52.360 --> 02:51:56.159
bride. He' d change his
dress. Again he stood still and held

1962
02:51:56.239 --> 02:51:58.639
his breath. O O O O
O O O O O O O S

1963
02:51:58.680 --> 02:52:03.360
O s O s NS telos toured
the room who it was. You heard

1964
02:52:03.399 --> 02:52:07.719
a pop and a cysseus. When
the person opened a soda can and the

1965
02:52:07.840 --> 02:52:13.639
steps came a little closer. No. No. No. No. No.

1966
02:52:13.719 --> 02:52:16.959
They' d surprise her in panties. Covering his breasts with his arms,

1967
02:52:18.399 --> 02:52:22.200
he took a look around his rest
of the panic. There was no

1968
02:52:22.680 --> 02:52:28.680
way out just a closet. Without
thinking too much, he ran to him

1969
02:52:28.760 --> 02:52:33.760
and locked himself inside the closet door. It was like a window, so

1970
02:52:33.799 --> 02:52:37.040
I could look through the slats and
get a good view of the room.

1971
02:52:39.680 --> 02:52:46.920
Tap tap tap. The steps sounded
heavy male. The groom was a hotel

1972
02:52:48.040 --> 02:52:54.479
employee. Which could be more humiliating. Knowing his bad luck, he had

1973
02:52:54.600 --> 02:52:58.719
to expect the worst. Calette walked
into the room She pressed my forehead against

1974
02:52:58.719 --> 02:53:05.239
the door of the defeated closet.
Evidently it was him. Calette looked around

1975
02:53:05.280 --> 02:53:11.000
and sat on an empty armchair in
front of the closet. After drinking a

1976
02:53:11.079 --> 02:53:13.000
sip of her coke tail, she
leaned on the ground next to her feet

1977
02:53:13.040 --> 02:53:18.239
and continued reading the article from the
spaceship and the alien demon on the cover.

1978
02:53:18.840 --> 02:53:24.200
She almost groaned at frustration. He
couldn' t keep hiding in the

1979
02:53:24.200 --> 02:53:28.040
closet waiting for him to finish reading, because he was just reading to wait

1980
02:53:28.040 --> 02:53:31.719
for her. I' d have
to go out and explain what happened to

1981
02:53:31.719 --> 02:53:37.840
her. How could I tell him
without him bursting into laughter? Calet took

1982
02:53:37.920 --> 02:53:43.120
her can of tail, but when
she was about to drink her gaze fell

1983
02:53:43.239 --> 02:53:46.879
on something is I followed her look
and saw the dress and shoes she had

1984
02:53:46.959 --> 02:53:54.280
left on the floor. Did you
recognize them? Oh, I wasn'

1985
02:53:54.280 --> 02:54:00.719
t tying up. He had no
choice. I had to go out and

1986
02:54:00.719 --> 02:54:05.799
explain. She leaned her palms against
the closet door, preparing to push it,

1987
02:54:05.360 --> 02:54:09.639
but Calette suddenly stood up and bowed
her head to one side as if

1988
02:54:09.719 --> 02:54:13.639
she were listening to something and at
that time she heard it too. A

1989
02:54:13.719 --> 02:54:22.120
few stride steps in the adjoining room
were getting closer and closer. A deaf

1990
02:54:22.200 --> 02:54:28.600
blow was heard as if someone had
bumped into the wall a moaning. Calette

1991
02:54:28.639 --> 02:54:31.920
stepped away from the door and glanced
at the window before her gaze lay in

1992
02:54:31.040 --> 02:54:39.319
the closet. Another deaf blow against
the wall The steps became more intense.

1993
02:54:41.079 --> 02:54:46.680
Another moaning in three long heatts crossed
the room and suddenly opened the closet.

1994
02:54:48.239 --> 02:54:52.399
He was shocked when he saw her, but there was no time to stay

1995
02:54:52.760 --> 02:54:56.680
there surprised, so he locked himself
in the closet with her just as a

1996
02:54:56.760 --> 02:55:03.719
couple walked through the door scene nine
naked. That was the only thought Kai

1997
02:55:03.879 --> 02:55:09.079
' s brain was able to produce
naked. He had looked at her for

1998
02:55:09.120 --> 02:55:13.760
less than a second before locking himself
in the closet, but had enough to

1999
02:55:13.879 --> 02:55:18.479
see him. Almost all bare shoulders
breasts that threatened to overcome the cage of

2000
02:55:18.559 --> 02:55:24.120
his arms. Narrow waist wide hips
and cotton panties with a tiny ribbon in

2001
02:55:24.200 --> 02:55:31.319
the middle. Delete, delete,
erase, squeezed your eyes while trying to

2002
02:55:31.399 --> 02:55:35.399
erase the image from your mind,
but that made the sounds on the other

2003
02:55:35.559 --> 02:55:41.360
side of the closet sound louder,
heavy breaths, kiss sounds, wet,

2004
02:55:43.559 --> 02:55:50.079
hands on fabrics, the sound of
pants. Opening up with a ciri and

2005
02:55:50.079 --> 02:55:54.559
shit, they were doing what he
thought they were doing. He looked through

2006
02:55:54.600 --> 02:55:58.639
the wooden slats and saw the couple
intertwined on the ground. I didn'

2007
02:55:58.680 --> 02:56:03.680
t know the woman, but her
blond hair catalogued her as a friend of

2008
02:56:03.680 --> 02:56:09.479
the family. The man' s
curly Afro and red jacket made it impossible

2009
02:56:09.559 --> 02:56:15.520
to confuse him with anyone other than
his cousin ban than him. Maybe now

2010
02:56:15.639 --> 02:56:18.799
he was trying to go after his
fourth marriage. Kay had no idea how

2011
02:56:18.879 --> 02:56:24.479
that look worked for her cousin,
too. The two groaned simultaneously before their

2012
02:56:24.559 --> 02:56:31.639
bodies began to twist rhythmically. Shit, Kay turned her attention away from the

2013
02:56:31.760 --> 02:56:37.319
closet door, but then she stared
at Esme. Once again, the light

2014
02:56:37.399 --> 02:56:41.559
fell on his soft skin in tempting
stripes, delineating the length of his neck,

2015
02:56:41.920 --> 02:56:46.440
the curves of his breasts. Yes
rule number six, He covered his

2016
02:56:46.600 --> 02:56:50.920
eyes with one hand and wished to
be anywhere else in the world. I

2017
02:56:52.000 --> 02:56:56.159
' d had enough to make up
for Andy, make people cry and wish

2018
02:56:56.360 --> 02:57:01.319
Esme. The Antarctic would be a
good change of peak airs, glacial mountains,

2019
02:57:03.399 --> 02:57:07.760
expanses of immaculate snow. The feeling
of emptiness of tranquility, the smallness

2020
02:57:07.840 --> 02:57:16.440
of the human being. Oh,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2021
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2022
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2023
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2024
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2025
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2026
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2027
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2028
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2029
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2030
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2031
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2032
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2033
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:16.440
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

2034
02:57:16.440 --> 02:57:18.040
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Kai' s concentration shattered and

2035
02:57:18.040 --> 02:57:26.799
he dropped his hand from his eyes
Guaui really what the hell was being done

2036
02:57:26.879 --> 02:57:31.719
go out there a suffocated sound.
He caught his attention before he could spy

2037
02:57:31.799 --> 02:57:35.600
on the couple again and realized that
the eme shoulders were shaking as he laughed

2038
02:57:35.719 --> 02:57:41.559
against the palm of his hand.
He assumed the situation must be funny,

2039
02:57:41.000 --> 02:57:46.639
but he never laughed at her.
He' d pulled an arm off his

2040
02:57:46.719 --> 02:57:50.399
chest and he' d swear he
almost saw one of his nipples. I

2041
02:57:50.520 --> 02:57:56.159
wasn' t sure, as there
were many shadows, but there was a

2042
02:57:56.159 --> 02:58:01.639
dark sector of hell. I was
in hell. He stared at the wall

2043
02:58:01.000 --> 02:58:05.760
making his best attempt not to react
to the pornographic situation that was developing both

2044
02:58:05.879 --> 02:58:11.360
outside and inside the closet. But
it was impossible for him. The moaning

2045
02:58:11.440 --> 02:58:16.559
of women continued to increase their intensity. Maybe it was making me those sounds.

2046
02:58:16.719 --> 02:58:22.680
I wish he didn' t say
cool, but something else, like

2047
02:58:22.680 --> 02:58:26.760
maybe his name. His entire body
was tense before thought and his skin became

2048
02:58:26.799 --> 02:58:33.120
hypersensitive. His pulse was accelerated and
he tried to put more space between them,

2049
02:58:33.680 --> 02:58:37.000
but the side of the closet prevented
him from doing so. There was

2050
02:58:39.479 --> 02:58:46.040
no escape how long that could last. Was Van and his girl trying to

2051
02:58:46.200 --> 02:58:50.879
break some world record? In the
end, the sounds reached a horrifying growth

2052
02:58:52.000 --> 02:58:56.360
and then quieted down. Van staggered
to his feet and helped his partner join.

2053
02:58:58.959 --> 02:59:03.959
They hoisted their clothes more by having
an uncomfortable conversation and disappeared. What

2054
02:59:03.040 --> 02:59:09.239
waited for sixty seconds before opening the
closet door and leaving took a breath and

2055
02:59:09.360 --> 02:59:13.879
the air smelled like no. I
wouldn' t think it smelled like air.

2056
02:59:13.879 --> 02:59:18.399
An involuntary chill went through him.
He followed him out of the closet

2057
02:59:18.799 --> 02:59:26.120
with blushing cheeks, reaching a fantastic
lobster tone and headed for his dress and

2058
02:59:26.159 --> 02:59:31.879
shoes. He said that they had
found him familiar with turning his back on

2059
02:59:31.959 --> 02:59:37.440
him and esme stood in the middle
of his dress and pulled up a woman

2060
02:59:37.559 --> 02:59:39.920
' s back. It was not
one of the restricted parts mentioned in the

2061
02:59:41.000 --> 02:59:45.440
footnotes, so it was allowed to
be observed, but it still seemed to

2062
02:59:45.520 --> 02:59:48.959
her that she was violating them.
The curve of the base of his column

2063
02:59:50.120 --> 02:59:54.079
was one of the most elegant things
he' d ever seen.“ You

2064
02:59:54.120 --> 02:59:58.840
never help me,” she asked, looking over his shoulder. The feet

2065
02:59:58.879 --> 03:00:03.879
fell took him so far on his
own. While his heart was pounding on

2066
03:00:03.000 --> 03:00:07.799
his ears, he clumsily zipped it, threw it along the attractive line of

2067
03:00:07.879 --> 03:00:13.040
his back and covered his perfect skin. When it was over, she turned

2068
03:00:13.120 --> 03:00:18.920
around and the eyes of both of
them met. He wanted to try me

2069
03:00:18.040 --> 03:00:22.079
on Bride' s dress whispered,
but I couldn' t get to him.

2070
03:00:22.719 --> 03:00:26.520
What' s up took a look
at Bride' s dress, hanging

2071
03:00:26.639 --> 03:00:31.520
from the curtain bar. Yeah,
she was definitely too short for that.

2072
03:00:33.200 --> 03:00:37.680
You want me to put it down
for you a smile It was drawn on

2073
03:00:39.040 --> 03:00:41.920
Esme' s face one of those
smiles that took away their breath, overwhelmed

2074
03:00:41.959 --> 03:00:46.719
the mind and made their eyes look
greener. He had provoked that smile and

2075
03:00:46.840 --> 03:00:52.239
that certainty. He made a warm
sensation spread all over his body. Better

2076
03:00:52.280 --> 03:00:56.200
than dressing in a big sweater fresh
out of the dryer.“ Why are

2077
03:00:56.280 --> 03:01:03.520
you smiling,” he asked.
Esme' s smile became wider. You

2078
03:01:03.639 --> 03:01:09.479
didn' t laugh why I should
have. She raised a shoulder where you

2079
03:01:09.559 --> 03:01:16.399
' d been. I' ve
been looking all over for you, I

2080
03:01:16.479 --> 03:01:20.360
' ve been out walking to clear
my head. I' m not good

2081
03:01:20.479 --> 03:01:26.440
with people and the banquet hall and
the hotel had been overwhelming. Once he

2082
03:01:26.520 --> 03:01:30.840
realized that it was what was missing, he had begun to detect all the

2083
03:01:30.920 --> 03:01:35.680
places where he should have been endy
looking for a drink at the bar with

2084
03:01:35.040 --> 03:01:41.040
the wedding godparents next to Calette.“ I am not either,” replied

2085
03:01:41.040 --> 03:01:45.159
Esme. That was a revelation so
that there, when he looked at her,

2086
03:01:45.959 --> 03:01:48.799
her imperfections jumped into view. For
the first time, one of his

2087
03:01:48.920 --> 03:01:52.399
eyebrows was more arched than the other. His nose wasn' t as right

2088
03:01:52.479 --> 03:01:56.399
as he had thought. There,
on the left side of his neck was

2089
03:01:56.639 --> 03:02:01.479
a tiny birthmark. It wasn'
t a photo retouched magazine photograph with photoshop.

2090
03:02:03.440 --> 03:02:09.959
She was a real person, imperfect
and strangely that made her more beautiful.

2091
03:02:11.000 --> 03:02:16.440
He was also intelligent in his rare
and particular way and had a sense

2092
03:02:16.479 --> 03:02:22.000
of justice that was in tune with
his own. She was not at all

2093
03:02:22.120 --> 03:02:26.200
what he had expected at first.
It took me a step towards it.

2094
03:02:26.680 --> 03:02:31.399
When he bit his lower lip.
Cay' s eyes recorded every movement fascinated

2095
03:02:31.520 --> 03:02:35.799
by how his white teeth squeezed bright
red skin. What would happen if he

2096
03:02:35.920 --> 03:02:41.399
bowed and kissed her. She'
d let him. What it would be

2097
03:02:41.440 --> 03:02:48.760
like if they joined their mouths,
how it would be to feel those red

2098
03:02:48.760 --> 03:02:50.600
lips against their own to delve into
it. There something slid softly against her

2099
03:02:50.719 --> 03:03:01.079
cold, unexpected, unpleasant hand what
a demo and there she instinctively leaped back

2100
03:03:01.159 --> 03:03:05.399
too fast and violent, and she
jumped and looked back with her eyes wide

2101
03:03:05.479 --> 03:03:15.319
open the hundreds apologized as she carried
her hand to her chest. She had

2102
03:03:15.440 --> 03:03:20.360
touched him perhaps to hold hands and
he had frightened her. I hated scaring

2103
03:03:20.440 --> 03:03:26.520
people. The explanations were sharpened in
his tongue, but he didn' t

2104
03:03:26.600 --> 03:03:31.639
know where to begin He didn'
t even know if he should bother to

2105
03:03:31.639 --> 03:03:35.440
give them what it meant. After
summer they would never see each other again.

2106
03:03:37.159 --> 03:03:41.440
The footprint of the brush remained on
the skin of shinning and unpleasant kai,

2107
03:03:41.799 --> 03:03:46.559
and he knew from experience that the
sensation would not disappear the next day.

2108
03:03:46.639 --> 03:03:50.559
The light frictions provoked that and it
was worse when someone took it by

2109
03:03:50.680 --> 03:03:56.440
surprise, as she had done.
If I had warned you or touched you

2110
03:03:56.520 --> 03:04:01.760
in the right way, then perhaps
sasas will shake your head before your thoughts.

2111
03:04:03.000 --> 03:04:07.879
Perhaps there would be no incident a
while before with Sara had confirmed that

2112
03:04:07.040 --> 03:04:13.040
he was not destined to establish relationships
and for that reason he could not incite

2113
03:04:13.200 --> 03:04:18.239
the frictions. What would happen,
for example, Yes, if they both

2114
03:04:18.280 --> 03:04:24.159
explored that attraction between them and she
fell in love with him, it would

2115
03:04:24.159 --> 03:04:26.719
be an awfully irresponsible act. For
your part. It wasn' t like

2116
03:04:26.719 --> 03:04:31.200
that. He could never reciprocate that
love and would only end up hurting her.

2117
03:04:31.239 --> 03:04:35.559
He would never want to do that. She had to be happy when

2118
03:04:35.639 --> 03:04:39.520
she rubbed her hand against her pants
making an effort to mitigate the sensation.

2119
03:04:41.000 --> 03:04:48.000
She watched the movement with tight lips. If you want to eat cake and

2120
03:04:48.360 --> 03:04:52.600
dance, I can wait for you
here. He wouldn' t go with

2121
03:04:52.600 --> 03:04:56.559
her. I had had enough of
that banquet hall and maybe it was a

2122
03:04:56.600 --> 03:05:01.719
cowardly attitude on her part, but
I didn' t want to keep watching

2123
03:05:01.719 --> 03:05:07.159
Sara cry. Let' s not
go. She gave him a smile and

2124
03:05:07.280 --> 03:05:13.000
left the room with determination as they
walked through the luxurious halls of the hotel

2125
03:05:13.079 --> 03:05:16.840
with determined steps. Kay was fully
aware that Esme did not support her hand

2126
03:05:16.920 --> 03:05:20.920
in the elbow hole of her arm. She kept a convenient distance between them

2127
03:05:22.280 --> 03:05:26.319
and he could not decipher whether he
was disappointed or relieved. The truth was

2128
03:05:26.399 --> 03:05:31.280
that he had not liked what he
had done before, but this displeased him

2129
03:05:31.399 --> 03:05:35.799
even more. The ground rumbled with
low and accompanied tones when they passed by

2130
03:05:35.840 --> 03:05:39.280
the doors facing the banquet hall,
where the celebration was taking place had begun

2131
03:05:39.360 --> 03:05:48.760
the dance. That meant dinner was
over. The guests had already eaten the

2132
03:05:48.799 --> 03:05:54.079
cake full of fruits, the speeches
were over and the wedding was almost over.

2133
03:05:56.000 --> 03:06:03.440
Andy had missed everything. He should
have been there. He' d

2134
03:06:03.680 --> 03:06:07.479
probably have been one of the best
men at the wedding, but he'

2135
03:06:07.600 --> 03:06:11.559
d certainly have been a member of
the bridal courtship. He would have sat

2136
03:06:11.559 --> 03:06:16.120
next to Kay during the ceremony and
the reception would have given a speech that

2137
03:06:16.159 --> 03:06:20.680
would have embarrassed Sarah and made everyone
laugh and at that very moment he would

2138
03:06:20.719 --> 03:06:24.280
have been in there dancing, because
it was Sara' s wedding and he

2139
03:06:24.440 --> 03:06:28.360
was that kind of brother. The
fact that he wasn' t there dancing,

2140
03:06:28.760 --> 03:06:33.959
so Cai' s lungs and feet
felt heavy. He pulled his shirt

2141
03:06:35.040 --> 03:06:39.319
back because he was strangling him.
At least now I knew it was wrong.

2142
03:06:41.360 --> 03:06:45.200
It was his sense of order.
Things weren' t in the right

2143
03:06:45.280 --> 03:06:48.879
place. It was very important for
things to be in the right place.

2144
03:06:52.159 --> 03:06:54.680
When they returned to the Casa de
Calet, he again park next to the

2145
03:06:54.840 --> 03:07:00.559
Esme wax wondered why he did not
like to use the garage, but he

2146
03:07:00.719 --> 03:07:03.239
did not want to mention the issue. I couldn' t forget the way

2147
03:07:03.399 --> 03:07:07.639
he had cleaned the rub off his
hand. Why he had been so upset.

2148
03:07:09.399 --> 03:07:13.120
She had seen that look in her
eyes, the one men adopted when

2149
03:07:13.159 --> 03:07:18.040
they wanted to kiss you. She
knew that look or thought she was doing

2150
03:07:20.079 --> 03:07:22.280
it at the time. All she
wanted was for her to kiss her,

2151
03:07:24.719 --> 03:07:28.159
she hadn' t stopped to think
about marriage, visa, or finding a

2152
03:07:28.159 --> 03:07:33.559
father for her daughter. She had
been absorbed by the intensity of her eyes

2153
03:07:33.680 --> 03:07:37.360
and the attraction that always pushed her
toward him. She had wanted to feel

2154
03:07:37.440 --> 03:07:43.319
his mouth above his, to be
near him to meet him, but he

2155
03:07:43.360 --> 03:07:48.040
had set her aside. While I
was showering and getting ready to go to

2156
03:07:48.040 --> 03:07:52.799
bed. His eyes were filled with
tears several times, but he did not

2157
03:07:52.799 --> 03:07:58.600
cry. She' d been turned
down before. They were nothing new.

2158
03:07:58.639 --> 03:08:07.959
It just meant what I should keep
trying. He could definitely do it,

2159
03:08:07.239 --> 03:08:11.920
he wouldn' t give up with
determination. He put on his favorite shirt,

2160
03:08:13.600 --> 03:08:16.719
crossed the bathroom and opened the door
to Calet' s room as if

2161
03:08:16.840 --> 03:08:20.000
it were his own. He sat
on a elbow and frowned. While a

2162
03:08:20.079 --> 03:08:24.879
long lock was moving away from his
eyes. The sheets slipped down and revealed

2163
03:08:24.959 --> 03:08:31.440
her definite chest and athletic abdomen.
What a handsome man before he could make

2164
03:08:31.479 --> 03:08:35.280
up an excuse to drive her away. She boldly went to the empty half

2165
03:08:35.360 --> 03:08:41.000
of her bed and lay down challenging
him. His shirt cooperated and exposed one

2166
03:08:41.040 --> 03:08:46.040
of his shoulders and a large part
of his neckline. He looked at her,

2167
03:08:46.319 --> 03:08:50.760
saw him look and, as he
had his attention, raised his arms

2168
03:08:50.840 --> 03:08:56.760
and gathered his hair over his head
away from his neck. The movement made

2169
03:08:56.799 --> 03:09:03.200
the neck of his shirt slide even
further down scandalously. Downstairs. The cold

2170
03:09:03.280 --> 03:09:05.840
air grazed a large expanse of her
chest and she did not cover herself,

2171
03:09:07.280 --> 03:09:11.600
even though the heart beat Galope.
Adam de Calette' s nut moved when

2172
03:09:11.639 --> 03:09:18.639
he swallowed saliva hard before he went
to bed and turned his back on it

2173
03:09:18.760 --> 03:09:24.040
and contained a smile of satisfaction.
Calette wasn' t immune, she didn

2174
03:09:24.040 --> 03:09:26.399
' t want to admit it,
but he liked what she saw. Thanks

2175
03:09:26.479 --> 03:09:31.600
to the radiance of the bath lamp, she calculated that the distance between them

2176
03:09:31.719 --> 03:09:37.159
should be exactly one arm. He
worked all day to keep the companies at

2177
03:09:37.200 --> 03:09:41.799
that distance and then at home he
did the same with them both. If

2178
03:09:41.959 --> 03:09:54.280
she tried hard, she' d
find a way to shorten the scene.

2179
03:09:54.440 --> 03:09:58.680
Ten Kai awoke on Sunday thanks to
the brilliant lusolar that leaked through the waves

2180
03:09:58.879 --> 03:10:03.280
windows and the incessant trine of the
singing birds, which were probably the same

2181
03:10:03.399 --> 03:10:09.959
ones who defecated regularly on his car. He had believed that he would not

2182
03:10:09.120 --> 03:10:13.920
be able to keep an eye all
night, but while lying there cursing Esme

2183
03:10:15.040 --> 03:10:18.239
his breasts and his body' s
response to her fell asleep and slept smoothly

2184
03:10:18.319 --> 03:10:24.680
until the next morning. I'
d be tired because I hadn' t

2185
03:10:24.680 --> 03:10:28.120
even noticed. When he got out
of bed, his side was empty,

2186
03:10:28.559 --> 03:10:33.079
but the sheets were very wrinkled.
When he reached them with his hand,

2187
03:10:33.479 --> 03:10:39.440
he felt them cold, it seemed
that he had long since left I wished

2188
03:10:39.559 --> 03:10:43.600
that he was not raising his underwear
or cutting the lawn with desk scissors.

2189
03:10:43.600 --> 03:10:48.079
However, instead of going out to
look for it and perform damage control.

2190
03:10:48.840 --> 03:10:52.360
He took the esme pillow and buried
his face in it. I smelled of

2191
03:10:52.360 --> 03:11:00.559
Clothes, clean Champuy. To her
the aroma was mild, but Lord recognized

2192
03:11:01.680 --> 03:11:07.639
soft and sweet light. She had
spent the night there on her bed,

2193
03:11:09.040 --> 03:11:13.959
in her space with him and had
left a part of it there. Kai

2194
03:11:13.040 --> 03:11:18.159
allowed himself to take a deep breath
and aspirate his scent once more and then

2195
03:11:18.239 --> 03:11:22.840
again before he felt disgusted with himself
and got out of bed and what smelled.

2196
03:11:22.399 --> 03:11:28.159
Well, whatever it was, it
drove him crazy. Once she had

2197
03:11:28.239 --> 03:11:31.360
finished her usual morning routine, she
went to the kitchen, where she expected

2198
03:11:31.440 --> 03:11:37.280
to find her, eating honeycombs,
cooking or disorganizing her fridge, but she

2199
03:11:37.440 --> 03:11:41.559
was not there. Kai opened the
sliding glass doors of the kitchen and went

2200
03:11:41.680 --> 03:11:46.120
out into the backyard for the first
time since he had moved. There was

2201
03:11:46.239 --> 03:11:50.879
nothing but dead grass and a lot
of land where that tree had been.

2202
03:11:52.879 --> 03:11:56.719
There weren' t even the roots
left and all the weeds were gone.

2203
03:11:56.760 --> 03:12:01.680
I had to admit that she had
done a great job, where she had

2204
03:12:01.680 --> 03:12:07.360
gone. She didn' t work
on Sundays, so her mother couldn'

2205
03:12:07.479 --> 03:12:11.399
t have come looking for her.
And it' s not like I was

2206
03:12:11.399 --> 03:12:15.760
ever gonna do it, because I
could just call and make him take her.

2207
03:12:16.840 --> 03:12:20.600
Perhaps he had left it to me, he had wanted it all week,

2208
03:12:22.000 --> 03:12:24.959
but now that perhaps it had happened, he was not as relieved as

2209
03:12:26.079 --> 03:12:30.520
I thought he would be. But
why would he want to stay After what

2210
03:12:30.680 --> 03:12:35.280
happened The night before, he had
made his cousin cry at his own wedding

2211
03:12:35.479 --> 03:12:39.159
and then he had scared to esme
when she had tried to hold him by

2212
03:12:39.159 --> 03:12:46.120
the hand. He had no doubt
shown why he should be just a sigh

2213
03:12:46.120 --> 03:12:48.600
of grief. She escaped from her
lungs, came back inside and searched her

2214
03:12:48.680 --> 03:12:54.799
room. He was not there,
but if his suitcase, his stomach,

2215
03:12:54.040 --> 03:13:00.319
relaxed and cursed himself in every way
he knew. Why the hell was he

2216
03:13:00.399 --> 03:13:05.520
relieved that she didn' t leave
shit, she must be getting used to

2217
03:13:05.559 --> 03:13:09.360
it. I didn' t want
to get used to her. He put

2218
03:13:09.479 --> 03:13:13.799
his feet in his shoes and walked
to the front porch to look for it.

2219
03:13:13.879 --> 03:13:18.520
The weather was warm and sunny and
it was still too early for it

2220
03:13:18.639 --> 03:13:24.799
to be humid. Those birds who
sang were probably laughing because they had left

2221
03:13:24.959 --> 03:13:28.799
something new for him in his wipe
for Brisas. The garden was only partially

2222
03:13:28.920 --> 03:13:35.360
clear, but it was already a
great improvement. He made a rutia grin

2223
03:13:35.479 --> 03:13:41.239
must have been euphoric. Pink,
peach- colored begonias bloomed in perfect shrubs

2224
03:13:41.319 --> 03:13:48.959
in the well- kept garden across
Ruth Street. Sometimes he gave them to

2225
03:13:48.040 --> 03:13:54.440
the neighbors. He had seen it
do none for him, of course,

2226
03:13:54.920 --> 03:14:00.120
but he was fine. He didn' t want his damn begonias esme was

2227
03:14:00.239 --> 03:14:03.159
not in sight. He came down
from the porch to see if he was

2228
03:14:03.280 --> 03:14:07.159
hiding between his house and that of
the neighbor, and at that moment he

2229
03:14:07.159 --> 03:14:11.959
saw something. The garage door was
open. He felt a flood of nausea.

2230
03:14:13.319 --> 03:14:18.120
His breathing was shortened and his palms
sweated because the garage door was open.

2231
03:14:20.280 --> 03:14:24.120
He ran to the waiter empty space
and reality hit him like a fist

2232
03:14:24.200 --> 03:14:30.760
in the stomach. He had disappeared
and also when he took it out,

2233
03:14:31.360 --> 03:14:37.520
a horrible truth fell on him I
was about to die. Esme loved the

2234
03:14:37.559 --> 03:14:41.879
Asian food store ninety- nine ranch
as if they had taken a tiny part

2235
03:14:43.079 --> 03:14:48.479
of their home and planted it across
the ocean. The employees were all Chinese,

2236
03:14:48.959 --> 03:14:54.639
but the food was familiar to him. I knew that smell of fish.

2237
03:14:54.719 --> 03:15:00.159
I was very excited to eat those
spicy tamarind sweets I had found in

2238
03:15:00.239 --> 03:15:05.079
the cash register sector. Once in
line. The process was quick and easy.

2239
03:15:05.440 --> 03:15:09.639
He gave the employee a twenty note
and he returned the change without uttering

2240
03:15:09.719 --> 03:15:16.399
the word. No translation was required. They all fit in there. He

2241
03:15:16.440 --> 03:15:20.879
went outside with his bags and admired
the blue motorcycle that was parked near the

2242
03:15:20.920 --> 03:15:26.440
store. She had squealed with joy
when she had discovered it. It was

2243
03:15:26.559 --> 03:15:30.680
a while ago. During the previous
week I had passed by that door in

2244
03:15:30.760 --> 03:15:35.879
the kitchen of calette without checking that
there was on the other side, I

2245
03:15:37.000 --> 03:15:41.479
had been too busy, cleaning and
devising ways to get into the heart and

2246
03:15:41.600 --> 03:15:46.520
in the pants of calette. However, that same morning he had accidentally moved

2247
03:15:46.600 --> 03:15:50.440
the knob after having been confused with
the pantry door and had not been able

2248
03:15:50.520 --> 03:15:56.159
to enter because it was closed after
running the latch, had turned on the

2249
03:15:56.239 --> 03:16:01.399
lights and discovered a spacious empty garage, except for something that was in the

2250
03:16:01.479 --> 03:16:05.760
middle covered with a tarp. Judging
by the size and shape, he had

2251
03:16:05.200 --> 03:16:09.399
suspected it was a motorcycle and when
he lifted the tarp he had not been

2252
03:16:09.479 --> 03:16:15.959
disappointed transport, as he did not
want to have to beg to be carried.

2253
03:16:16.040 --> 03:16:18.840
Every time he wanted to go somewhere
he stayed home. However, he

2254
03:16:20.200 --> 03:16:24.559
didn' t like feeling trapped and
abandoned every time Calet needed to go somewhere.

2255
03:16:24.959 --> 03:16:30.000
Without it there was a local bus
circuit, but it was intimidating and

2256
03:16:30.079 --> 03:16:35.959
probably slow because of different routes and
connections. A motorcycle, on the other

2257
03:16:35.360 --> 03:16:41.719
hand, could take her directly anywhere
she wanted. It didn' t matter

2258
03:16:41.760 --> 03:16:46.520
if she was a little scratched and
punched. When the keys were turned on

2259
03:16:46.600 --> 03:16:52.680
in a timely manner, it was
switched on immediately. He had hurried to

2260
03:16:52.760 --> 03:16:56.639
take his bag and close the door
and then had gone out, while weighing

2261
03:16:56.760 --> 03:17:01.840
his chances, the ways in which
he could surprise Calet and make him addicted

2262
03:17:01.920 --> 03:17:07.280
to her. The first thing that
had occurred to him had been food.

2263
03:17:07.600 --> 03:17:13.719
I could cook you something fresh and
nutritious like potty bladder soup. Feeling hopeful

2264
03:17:13.840 --> 03:17:18.719
and cautiously happy, she kept her
purse and freshly purchased supplies, including twenty

2265
03:17:18.840 --> 03:17:22.239
swim bladders on the back of the
motorcycle, put her helmet on and left.

2266
03:17:24.600 --> 03:17:28.479
He felt something special in the air
as he drove back the houses and

2267
03:17:28.559 --> 03:17:33.799
the shops looked prettier and the lawn
looked greener. When he turned on the

2268
03:17:33.879 --> 03:17:37.399
central highway and headed west he saw
giant pine trees bordering the road and populating

2269
03:17:37.479 --> 03:17:43.239
the central division separating the lanes back
and forth from the traffic. It was

2270
03:17:43.319 --> 03:17:48.799
curious how those tall trees made her
feel despite it immense inside, where it

2271
03:17:48.879 --> 03:17:58.239
really mattered smiled as she passed out
after exit. I' d be home

2272
03:17:58.239 --> 03:18:03.440
soon, where I' d make
Calette lunch. Then I' d finish

2273
03:18:03.520 --> 03:18:09.680
cleaning the front garden. Now that
I had a bike, I could go

2274
03:18:09.760 --> 03:18:13.200
buy things like grass seeds and fresh
flowers. It could make the garden look

2275
03:18:13.280 --> 03:18:20.040
beautiful when Calette' s exit was
approaching it lit the intermitter on the right.

2276
03:18:20.959 --> 03:18:24.639
However, before he could change lanes, a silver car coming in the

2277
03:18:24.719 --> 03:18:30.440
other direction shaved until it stopped in
the connet. The tires gnashed and the

2278
03:18:30.520 --> 03:18:35.360
smoke rose from the asphalt. He
looked like Calet' s car in an

2279
03:18:35.360 --> 03:18:37.920
alarming way, and when the door
opened, a man came out who couldn

2280
03:18:39.079 --> 03:18:43.920
' t do anything but him to
get down. He heard him scream right

2281
03:18:43.920 --> 03:18:48.760
now. Despite the roar of his
bike' s engine, his heart jumped

2282
03:18:48.879 --> 03:18:54.520
into his throat and his mouth dried
up like cotton. He was a cop

2283
03:18:54.600 --> 03:18:58.559
now, what trouble he might have
gotten himself into. He slowed down and

2284
03:18:58.600 --> 03:19:03.920
toiled. It had alongside the central
division, as Calette had done. He

2285
03:19:03.000 --> 03:19:11.280
ran towards her at low speed from
the fast motorcycle as soon as he got

2286
03:19:11.360 --> 03:19:18.479
close enough for her to record the
terror of her face. Usually quiet,

2287
03:19:18.920 --> 03:19:24.959
he started shaking me. Something bad
had to happen with the motorcycle. I

2288
03:19:24.079 --> 03:19:28.719
' d be about to explode.
She began to lower the leg of the

2289
03:19:28.840 --> 03:19:33.319
motorcycle with trembling foot, but before
she managed to do so, Calet held

2290
03:19:33.399 --> 03:19:37.559
her by the arms and lifted her
from the seat. The motorcycle fell on

2291
03:19:37.639 --> 03:19:41.760
its side and caused all its things
to be scattered over the stones and the

2292
03:19:41.879 --> 03:19:46.079
grass. Caleta was totally undressed and
her face was a mask of fury.

2293
03:19:48.079 --> 03:19:52.079
She had never imagined that he could
get angry like that without stopping to breathe.

2294
03:19:52.479 --> 03:19:58.840
Calet said why you used the bike. I never told you you could

2295
03:19:58.840 --> 03:20:03.399
do it. The tremor got worse
until it became paralysed. I' m

2296
03:20:03.399 --> 03:20:09.479
sorry. I only went to him
drove her through the lawn towards his car.

2297
03:20:09.559 --> 03:20:15.920
Come on, but I bought food. He' s fallen everywhere and

2298
03:20:16.159 --> 03:20:22.040
the bike will be stolen by someone. I' m gonna take her back

2299
03:20:22.040 --> 03:20:26.079
to no. The touches ordered him
once she had sat in the car.

2300
03:20:28.040 --> 03:20:31.520
Calette passed him the seatbelt, locked
him up, and then pulled him to

2301
03:20:31.600 --> 03:20:35.639
make sure he was firm. She
shrunk when he slammed the door and after

2302
03:20:35.719 --> 03:20:39.920
he turned the car around and threw
himself over the seat, he cleared his

2303
03:20:39.040 --> 03:20:43.600
throat and said my purse, my
money is all there and I need it.

2304
03:20:48.879 --> 03:20:52.920
Calette jumped out of the car and
crossed the central division to lean next

2305
03:20:52.000 --> 03:20:56.719
to the motorcycle, but instead of
taking the support bag, pressed a fist

2306
03:20:56.079 --> 03:21:01.479
against his forehead and stayed like this
for the long time. The cars passed

2307
03:21:01.559 --> 03:21:07.040
him at full speed. One slowed
down and then accelerated to move away.

2308
03:21:09.040 --> 03:21:15.040
Another driver lowered the window and asked
him if he needed help. Calette shook

2309
03:21:15.079 --> 03:21:20.440
her head and responded with a sharp
tone. No thanks. As the car

2310
03:21:20.479 --> 03:21:24.520
moved away, he stretched out his
arm, turned the key to the motorcycle

2311
03:21:24.639 --> 03:21:28.920
and then kept it in his pocket. Then he recovered the esme bag and

2312
03:21:28.040 --> 03:21:33.600
returned to the car. The journey
back home lasted two minutes. He told

2313
03:21:33.680 --> 03:21:37.120
me because he spent the whole trip
looking at the clock and waiting for him

2314
03:21:37.159 --> 03:21:43.319
to talk, but the garage wasn' t empty, although as always,

2315
03:21:43.719 --> 03:21:48.440
he parked by the sidewalk. He
followed me to the front door without knowing

2316
03:21:48.520 --> 03:21:52.319
what to do. When he opened, she came in and took off her

2317
03:21:52.840 --> 03:21:56.399
shoes waiting for him to do the
same, but calette turned on her heels

2318
03:21:56.520 --> 03:22:01.319
and started walking down the street to
go get her bike. He assumed I

2319
03:22:03.280 --> 03:22:07.879
would accompany you, he asked,
there was no answer. He simply continued

2320
03:22:07.920 --> 03:22:13.719
to walk with his shoulders firm and
his back straight as a murderer willing to

2321
03:22:13.799 --> 03:22:18.079
fulfill his last mission. She watched
him until he disappeared around the corner and

2322
03:22:18.120 --> 03:22:24.360
then closed the door and leaned against
her. His heartbeat slowed gradually, but

2323
03:22:24.479 --> 03:22:31.319
his face remained warm with a mixture
of humiliation and confusion. He shouldn'

2324
03:22:31.399 --> 03:22:35.079
t have used the motorcycle without permission, but he was so generous with the

2325
03:22:35.159 --> 03:22:37.600
rest of his stuff that she didn' t think there was any trouble.

2326
03:22:39.680 --> 03:22:43.799
Why it had been a problem,
why he kept it in the garage and

2327
03:22:43.920 --> 03:22:48.680
didn' t use it. There
was enough space there, both for his

2328
03:22:48.799 --> 03:22:52.760
motorcycle and for his car, why
he parked it outside and why he had

2329
03:22:52.840 --> 03:22:58.840
been so angry no matter the reasons. She had to make up for it

2330
03:23:00.000 --> 03:23:03.920
and could begin to do so immediately. He went to the garage, took

2331
03:23:03.959 --> 03:23:07.319
the ladder he had seen before and
took it to the front porch. There

2332
03:23:07.440 --> 03:23:11.559
were so many leaves covering the gutter
that he was worried that it would fall

2333
03:23:11.639 --> 03:23:18.879
and hit someone. The head was
also in very bad shape. After placing

2334
03:23:18.920 --> 03:23:24.280
the ladder as stable as he could, he climbed up to it and threw

2335
03:23:24.360 --> 03:23:28.280
handfuls of leaves on the ground.
He had managed to clean up a good

2336
03:23:28.360 --> 03:23:31.319
part of the gutter. When Calette
came walking with the bike aside, she

2337
03:23:31.319 --> 03:23:37.120
put it back in the garage and
went in her direction. He carried the

2338
03:23:37.200 --> 03:23:39.559
plastic bags full of food, hanging
by his fingers next to his body,

2339
03:23:39.959 --> 03:23:43.440
but dropped them to the ground and
approached in a hurry to hold the ladder.

2340
03:23:45.239 --> 03:23:48.159
Before you look at her with a
frown. What are you doing?

2341
03:23:50.319 --> 03:23:54.959
She threw another handful of leaves on
the ground. There' s a lot

2342
03:23:54.959 --> 03:24:00.520
of low leaves. He ordered firmly, it' s not safe, but

2343
03:24:00.600 --> 03:24:07.639
I' m not finished. Now
wait a bit The words came out louder

2344
03:24:07.040 --> 03:24:13.440
than she expected, and one of
her feet slipped. He staggered for an

2345
03:24:13.520 --> 03:24:18.319
endless second, but managed to hold
on to the gutter and avoid falling with

2346
03:24:18.440 --> 03:24:22.920
his face glued to the dirty metal. He whispered a thanks to the sky

2347
03:24:22.040 --> 03:24:28.399
and Buddha the fall would have broken
his ass, please come down Now he

2348
03:24:28.520 --> 03:24:33.040
said in a monotonous and cold tone. The instant her feet touched the ground,

2349
03:24:33.440 --> 03:24:37.879
Calet placed the ladder on the side
and put it back in the garage.

2350
03:24:39.479 --> 03:24:46.120
She raised her hands and followed him
why you do that I' m

2351
03:24:46.120 --> 03:24:50.559
not done. He still had a
lot of gutter left to clean up and

2352
03:24:50.680 --> 03:24:54.159
hated leaving a job in half.
Without thinking about it, he held it

2353
03:24:54.239 --> 03:24:58.319
on his shoulder and said Ancalette put
it back on. Calet turned instantly and

2354
03:24:58.399 --> 03:25:01.920
passed an arm through her chest so
that she could rub the shoulder she had

2355
03:25:03.120 --> 03:25:09.799
touched. You have to stop all
this. I' ll do it later

2356
03:25:09.840 --> 03:25:16.760
when I' m done You won' t finish anything. You have to

2357
03:25:16.760 --> 03:25:24.840
stop, you understand, you have
to stop. The lower lip of ezme

2358
03:25:24.959 --> 03:25:31.280
trembled at its slow and exaggerated pronunciation. You don' t need to talk

2359
03:25:31.280 --> 03:25:35.239
to me like that. I know
what you mean. Galetti made a sound

2360
03:25:35.360 --> 03:25:41.600
of frustration. You don' t. You' ve been rearranging my stuff

2361
03:25:41.760 --> 03:25:45.920
ridiculously, cutting trees with steak knives, touching that bike, touching me.

2362
03:25:48.040 --> 03:25:52.600
All that has to stop. I
can' t live like this. When

2363
03:25:52.680 --> 03:25:56.360
he realized the meaning of what he
was saying, he dropped my ridiculous shoulders.

2364
03:25:58.239 --> 03:26:03.920
She repeated it in English. That
didn' t sound right. He

2365
03:26:03.000 --> 03:26:09.079
buried his hands in his hair.
Yes, he looked at me in the

2366
03:26:09.159 --> 03:26:13.079
garden almost clear and wiped his dirty
hands with his pants, while his heart

2367
03:26:13.200 --> 03:26:20.159
contracted and his face reddened ridiculously.
If she were more sophisticated, she would

2368
03:26:20.200 --> 03:26:26.399
know what that meant and think about
it, probably not something very sophisticated to

2369
03:26:26.479 --> 03:26:31.120
do gardening or cleaning the house or
any of the things she did is me

2370
03:26:31.200 --> 03:26:35.920
the accountant. I certainly hired people
to do those jobs, but the real

2371
03:26:37.000 --> 03:26:39.559
esme, the peasant woman and who
always smelled like fish sauce, just wanted

2372
03:26:41.000 --> 03:26:43.479
to be useful and I hadn'
t thought about how that would look.

2373
03:26:45.520 --> 03:26:50.079
She' d been embarrassing him and
herself all that time. I' ll

2374
03:26:50.079 --> 03:26:54.680
stop doing it. He forced himself
to say truly asked Calette and sounded so

2375
03:26:54.799 --> 03:27:01.479
hopeful that he was further hurt by
pride. He nodded to me I promise

2376
03:27:01.600 --> 03:27:03.680
I won' t do it anymore. I would have shook his hand,

2377
03:27:05.200 --> 03:27:07.600
but he had included touching him on
the list of things he wasn' t

2378
03:27:07.600 --> 03:27:11.760
supposed to do. She wiped her
palms back in her pants, but something

2379
03:27:11.920 --> 03:27:16.639
told him that what he disliked was
not something she could remove by cleaning scene

2380
03:27:16.760 --> 03:27:26.000
eleven ridiculous definition, which can move
the mockery or absurd mockery definition in absurd

2381
03:27:26.120 --> 03:27:37.000
Vietnamese to ridiculous Anzy. She'
d show him how ridiculous he was.

2382
03:27:37.040 --> 03:27:41.760
On Monday esme began to consider interactions
with restaurant customers as a way to practice

2383
03:27:41.879 --> 03:27:48.000
the language. He had to get
better, so he forced himself to talk

2384
03:27:48.000 --> 03:27:50.000
to them. Even though he felt
like a water buffalo moaning in the field,

2385
03:27:50.200 --> 03:27:54.200
he asked them how they were doing
the day played with their lovely children

2386
03:27:54.280 --> 03:28:01.600
who reminded him of Jade recommended new
dishes. At first, he found it

2387
03:28:01.600 --> 03:28:05.639
unnatural and uncomfortable. However, except
for an unpleasant woman who blanked her eyes

2388
03:28:05.760 --> 03:28:09.319
and mocked her behind her back,
the customers didn' t seem to care

2389
03:28:09.440 --> 03:28:18.360
too much and after a while it
even became a fun practice. When he

2390
03:28:18.440 --> 03:28:22.559
was cleaning tables after lunchtime, he
discovered that his practices had earned him generous

2391
03:28:22.639 --> 03:28:31.920
tips. It meant that people liked
it. When she was talking to them,

2392
03:28:31.239 --> 03:28:33.760
she couldn' t help but laugh
a little. Maybe he was a

2393
03:28:33.840 --> 03:28:39.040
charming buffalo. After all, you' ve improved quickly. He said a

2394
03:28:39.120 --> 03:28:43.799
familiar voice in English. Es Me
gave way and saw Miss Aco sitting at

2395
03:28:43.840 --> 03:28:48.159
her usual table, eating enthusiastically and
distractedly a few fried rolls wrapped in lettuce

2396
03:28:48.239 --> 03:28:56.079
while she corrected more exercises. She
was about to respond in Vietnamese, but

2397
03:28:56.159 --> 03:29:01.840
Esme held back She wasn' t
trying to get me to meet Miss Cut

2398
03:29:03.159 --> 03:29:07.000
She might as well practice with her.“ Thank you,” she said

2399
03:29:07.120 --> 03:29:09.200
without raising her eyes from her papers,“ the lady coconutd” I thought

2400
03:29:09.319 --> 03:29:13.479
I' d see you in my
class last week. I don' t

2401
03:29:13.479 --> 03:29:18.840
need classes. Some people had to
cope with what they had. Miss Cos

2402
03:29:18.920 --> 03:29:26.000
shook her head and continued to correct
her red pen scribbled quickly. You'

2403
03:29:26.120 --> 03:29:30.479
d get a lot better with some
classes. Sme bit her lip with frustration.

2404
03:29:31.200 --> 03:29:35.879
He knew that he would do well
to attend class and also loved high

2405
03:29:35.959 --> 03:29:41.559
school and teachers and raised his hand
to participate very much in studies He had

2406
03:29:41.639 --> 03:29:48.040
always been good at it until he
had to abandon them disappointing everyone. I

2407
03:29:48.079 --> 03:29:52.879
have to save money admitted to my
family. The lady looked impatiently and took

2408
03:29:54.000 --> 03:30:01.200
a brochure from her purse. It
is not expensive take while I was reading

2409
03:30:01.319 --> 03:30:09.399
carefully the prices that were surprisingly reasonable. Miss co continued the hard part is

2410
03:30:09.520 --> 03:30:16.920
finding time. You have time,
I don' t need his voice.

2411
03:30:16.959 --> 03:30:20.680
It dried up before I could say
I needed to spend time with calette.

2412
03:30:20.680 --> 03:30:24.239
The truth was, he didn'
t want to spend time with her.

2413
03:30:24.639 --> 03:30:28.120
I' d made it very clear. A section of the brochure listed the

2414
03:30:28.159 --> 03:30:33.040
classes offered at the institute, and
one of them immediately called his attention to

2415
03:30:33.120 --> 03:30:37.719
accounting. A rare tingling sensation spread
through his veins and hit the list.

2416
03:30:41.200 --> 03:30:45.840
I can attend this one. Miss
Co supported her red pen and read the

2417
03:30:45.920 --> 03:30:52.239
words marked with a broad smile.
You want to be an accountant. I

2418
03:30:52.280 --> 03:30:56.319
think you' d make a great
accountant. He frowned at me without believing

2419
03:30:56.440 --> 03:31:01.760
it at all. In fact,
the commentator almost bothered her by holding the

2420
03:31:01.840 --> 03:31:07.079
brochure high. He asked I can
keep this. Of course, I brought

2421
03:31:07.159 --> 03:31:13.760
it for you. Thank you.
He carefully folded the brochure in half kept

2422
03:31:13.840 --> 03:31:20.440
it in the pocket of his apron
and kept working. The small table shook

2423
03:31:20.559 --> 03:31:24.600
as it cleaned it and had to
lessen the force before all the seasonings fell

2424
03:31:24.719 --> 03:31:30.239
to the ground. The young lady
who had spoken as if she really could

2425
03:31:30.319 --> 03:31:33.520
be an accountant one day, but
she knew it was impossible. It was

2426
03:31:33.600 --> 03:31:37.760
bad taste to put dreams like that
in someone' s head. The best

2427
03:31:37.799 --> 03:31:43.319
thing I could hope for was to
make almost accounting and, luckily, for

2428
03:31:43.319 --> 03:31:48.079
her that could be enough to win
Calette. In the next two weeks,

2429
03:31:48.559 --> 03:31:52.639
he put things back on the street
in the original order and started taking the

2430
03:31:52.760 --> 03:31:58.120
bus back home. He imagined that
she would also be doing the night shift

2431
03:31:58.200 --> 03:32:03.159
at her mother' s restaurant should
have been happy to have the evenings for

2432
03:32:03.239 --> 03:32:07.719
herself again. Her home no longer
smelled of fish sauce because of her cooking

2433
03:32:07.760 --> 03:32:11.319
and seasoning, but dinner was not
the same without her strange chatter and enthusiasm.

2434
03:32:13.440 --> 03:32:18.040
To be honest, now his nights
felt like the house was empty.

2435
03:32:18.600 --> 03:32:24.399
He, even if Vietnamese pop music
is loud. He could not concentrate on

2436
03:32:24.559 --> 03:32:28.000
his work or television and watched the
clock very often as he waited for her

2437
03:32:28.079 --> 03:32:33.719
to walk through the door. She
still shared the bed with him, but

2438
03:32:33.799 --> 03:32:37.200
turned her back and stayed very close
to the edge, as far away from

2439
03:32:37.319 --> 03:32:45.040
him as possible. Sometimes Kay was
worried that she would fall Other times she

2440
03:32:45.079 --> 03:32:48.920
wanted me to do it that way. I' d have an excuse to

2441
03:32:50.000 --> 03:32:54.639
tell him to come a little closer. That night. It was almost ten

2442
03:32:54.680 --> 03:32:56.760
thirty o' clock at night and
she hadn' t come home yet.

2443
03:32:58.840 --> 03:33:01.239
In general, I was already in
a challenge to leave for that hour and

2444
03:33:01.360 --> 03:33:07.440
Kai' s stomach contracted. He
considered calling her or sending her a message,

2445
03:33:07.799 --> 03:33:11.840
but hated that kind of mobile utilities. Out at about ten and forty

2446
03:33:11.000 --> 03:33:13.799
- five o' clock at night, he could no longer contain himself.

2447
03:33:15.920 --> 03:33:20.000
He opened his contact list and searched
Smeté' s phone number. His thumb

2448
03:33:20.079 --> 03:33:24.399
was lurking over the call button.
When his phone vibrated with an incoming call

2449
03:33:26.520 --> 03:33:31.559
from Esmeté he accepted the call immediately
and took the phone to the Ear Hello

2450
03:33:31.559 --> 03:33:41.360
hello. It' s me,
but you know that doesn' t appear

2451
03:33:41.440 --> 03:33:46.920
on your phone. He said laughing, Kai shook his head why he was

2452
03:33:46.040 --> 03:33:50.959
talking so fast. Yeah, I
know it' s you I' m

2453
03:33:52.079 --> 03:33:56.799
sorry, yeah, I woke you
up, I' m not on a

2454
03:33:56.799 --> 03:34:00.360
river date again and it cleared your
throat. I was just calling to tell

2455
03:34:00.440 --> 03:34:05.159
you I' m gonna be late, okay, bye, and then he

2456
03:34:05.159 --> 03:34:11.799
hung up. That was it.
No explanation, nothing, and why he

2457
03:34:11.879 --> 03:34:18.680
had mentioned the quotations. He had
never imagined it with another man, but

2458
03:34:18.760 --> 03:34:24.879
now he was doing it and that
thought irritated him to the fullest. Tightening

2459
03:34:24.000 --> 03:34:30.600
your teeth. The phone called her. She sounded and rang and rang really

2460
03:34:31.639 --> 03:34:37.200
just talking to her how it could
be hello, she said, above the

2461
03:34:37.319 --> 03:34:41.159
sound that was heard in the background. There were a lot of people talking

2462
03:34:41.159 --> 03:34:45.479
at the same time, and that
was a crying baby where you are.

2463
03:34:46.639 --> 03:34:52.079
I' ll call you back later. They just said my name. Wait

2464
03:34:52.399 --> 03:34:58.200
where you are at the doctor.
I' ll call you later. I

2465
03:34:58.319 --> 03:35:01.319
have what felt a tight chest that
left him breathless, what a doctor,

2466
03:35:03.120 --> 03:35:11.719
where why in the clinic that is
next to the Asian store. But I

2467
03:35:11.799 --> 03:35:16.319
' m fine, it' s
just a wound. I have to leave

2468
03:35:18.479 --> 03:35:22.760
you bye for the second time that
night, she hung up the call a

2469
03:35:22.760 --> 03:35:28.799
wound. He ran to the door
and jumped into the car. He hugged

2470
03:35:28.840 --> 03:35:33.120
his chest while a woman made comforting
sounds for her baby, who kept whining

2471
03:35:33.280 --> 03:35:41.520
and walked around the waiting room.
The baby' s face was red and

2472
03:35:41.639 --> 03:35:46.159
swollen due to several minutes of uncontrolled
crying and made Esme' s arms wish

2473
03:35:46.239 --> 03:35:50.559
to hold their own daughter. Haden
had never been so ill, fortunately,

2474
03:35:52.040 --> 03:35:56.360
but it is mesí remembered when the
fever and pain had reached their peak and

2475
03:35:56.479 --> 03:35:58.959
she had had to tell Jade to
stay away so that he would not catch

2476
03:36:00.239 --> 03:36:05.399
it. And Jade had burst into
tears, don' t cry Esme had

2477
03:36:05.399 --> 03:36:09.959
told her, I' m not
crying because I' m afraid to get

2478
03:36:09.959 --> 03:36:15.879
sick. His daughter had answered him. I' m crying because I love

2479
03:36:15.959 --> 03:36:18.600
you Esme' s nostalgia for her
child became intolerable and would have offered to

2480
03:36:18.639 --> 03:36:22.079
carry the baby of that stranger,
if not for her ankle, which was

2481
03:36:22.079 --> 03:36:28.799
swollen, twice her normal size and
she was resting between a pillow and an

2482
03:36:28.959 --> 03:36:33.399
ice bag. When Cavara rushed through
the waiting room door, her body became

2483
03:36:33.399 --> 03:36:41.319
rigid. It would have seemed more
logical to see a ghost what he was

2484
03:36:41.360 --> 03:36:46.239
doing there, why he had come. When she crossed the room and bowed

2485
03:36:46.319 --> 03:36:50.680
in front of her, frowning at
her ankle, she didn' t know

2486
03:36:50.719 --> 03:36:56.959
what to think.“ I would
yell at him what happened,” Calette

2487
03:36:56.959 --> 03:37:03.399
asked. The doctor saw what you
said. I twisted it on the stairs.

2488
03:37:03.559 --> 03:37:07.920
The doctor thinks it' s a
sprain. He' s waiting for

2489
03:37:07.920 --> 03:37:11.479
the X- ray. Calette lifted
the ice bag from her swollen ankle and

2490
03:37:11.600 --> 03:37:18.399
her face contracted even more. You
can move your foot when she moved it,

2491
03:37:18.920 --> 03:37:22.719
he added up and down, on
one side and on the other.

2492
03:37:22.840 --> 03:37:28.159
A door opened with a squeak and
a nurse called her Esmeralda Tran Esme stood

2493
03:37:28.239 --> 03:37:31.440
up and set out to limp to
the exploration room, as she had done

2494
03:37:31.719 --> 03:37:37.959
before. However, before her injured
foot could touch the floor of the room,

2495
03:37:37.520 --> 03:37:43.200
she turned around and was held by
Calette' s arms as a film

2496
03:37:43.280 --> 03:37:52.239
heroine. You don' t have
to. I can walk a lot of

2497
03:37:52.239 --> 03:37:54.840
weight said tense. He blanked his
eyes and followed the nurse through the corridors.

2498
03:37:58.159 --> 03:38:01.440
You don' t weigh, nothing. You' re a tiny human

2499
03:38:01.440 --> 03:38:05.760
being. I' m not a
tiny human being. He wasn' t

2500
03:38:05.840 --> 03:38:11.959
able to seem angry. He was
holding firmly and breathing without difficulty. It

2501
03:38:11.120 --> 03:38:18.000
made her feel safe and small.
He loved it at home. Her mother

2502
03:38:18.079 --> 03:38:20.840
and grandmother always asked her to take
things down from the top shelf or carry

2503
03:38:20.879 --> 03:38:26.959
heavy packages, because she was much
more heavy than they were. However,

2504
03:38:26.319 --> 03:38:31.319
Calette didn' t think it was. You can sit her down here.

2505
03:38:31.360 --> 03:38:37.639
The nurse pointed to the paper-
covered stretcher and as she left the room,

2506
03:38:37.200 --> 03:38:41.719
she told me that you have her
great boyfriend. The doctor will be

2507
03:38:41.840 --> 03:38:48.479
here soon boyfriend. The nurse disappeared
before either of them could correct it and

2508
03:38:48.559 --> 03:38:52.719
once Calette had left it on the
stretcher, she fixed her gaze on the

2509
03:38:52.760 --> 03:38:58.159
sheets of bones and muscles on the
wall Thank you for making an ace gesture

2510
03:38:58.200 --> 03:39:05.920
to his ankle that Caleta had carefully
supported on him stretcher. He shrugged and

2511
03:39:05.959 --> 03:39:11.360
sat on a chair that was against
the wall You shouldn' t support him

2512
03:39:11.479 --> 03:39:16.079
for a while. It doesn'
t hurt so much at the time.

2513
03:39:18.159 --> 03:39:22.719
Before, however, it had hurt
terribly. She thought it was broken and

2514
03:39:22.840 --> 03:39:30.079
panicked. I had clearly failed Caletti. If she couldn' t work,

2515
03:39:30.639 --> 03:39:35.559
Carolla would send home early She couldn' t leave. He still had to

2516
03:39:35.680 --> 03:39:41.079
look for his father. Rubbing one
arm with discomfort. He asked why you

2517
03:39:41.120 --> 03:39:48.719
came. He gave her a look
of bewilderment You' re hurt Something fell

2518
03:39:48.799 --> 03:39:52.399
apart in her heart. She swerved
the decalet' s face and stared at

2519
03:39:52.479 --> 03:39:58.680
her hands on her lap. He
had come to be with her. It

2520
03:39:58.840 --> 03:40:03.760
was something new for her as a
child. Everyone had expected me to take

2521
03:40:03.799 --> 03:40:07.440
care of herself. Her mother and
grandmother were always busy working and if she

2522
03:40:07.600 --> 03:40:11.959
got hurt or got sick, the
best thing she could do was to squeeze

2523
03:40:11.000 --> 03:40:16.280
her teeth and deal with them alone. That was even more necessary now that

2524
03:40:16.399 --> 03:40:22.600
she had Jade, so when she
put the ice bag on her ankle,

2525
03:40:22.799 --> 03:40:28.760
she felt more careful than she had
ever been. I' m fine,

2526
03:40:31.600 --> 03:40:35.840
he assured me that I hope you
heard a little knock on the door and

2527
03:40:35.840 --> 03:40:41.600
the doctor came in. Same as
before. It was extremely handsome dark features

2528
03:40:41.719 --> 03:40:45.879
height above average and had an Indian
name that she couldn' t pronounce Nabneel

2529
03:40:46.959 --> 03:40:54.840
something had an X- ray on
her hands good news. Esmeralda. There

2530
03:40:54.959 --> 03:40:58.280
' s no fracture. If you
keep him blindfolded and apply heaven to him,

2531
03:40:58.639 --> 03:41:03.520
you should be better off. In
a couple of weeks. Esme'

2532
03:41:03.600 --> 03:41:09.959
s body loosened from the great relief. Thank you very much. It'

2533
03:41:09.079 --> 03:41:13.520
s been a pleasure. The doctor
dedicated a white- toothed smile to him

2534
03:41:13.639 --> 03:41:18.360
while he took a presentation card from
his pocket and handed it to Esme.

2535
03:41:18.399 --> 03:41:22.239
No follow- up visit is necessary, as it is not a serious injury.

2536
03:41:24.000 --> 03:41:26.680
However, if you ever want to
see me off schedule with pleasure,

2537
03:41:28.040 --> 03:41:31.120
I' ll take another look at
your ankle. He accepted the card and

2538
03:41:31.239 --> 03:41:37.000
turned it over to see another phone
number. Scrambled on the back. When

2539
03:41:37.079 --> 03:41:41.360
he looked back at his face,
he winked at him at the time,

2540
03:41:41.799 --> 03:41:46.879
and Calet stood up and the doctor' s eyes enlarged. When she observed

2541
03:41:48.520 --> 03:41:52.680
her height, dark clothing and intense
presence that made her think of murderers and

2542
03:41:52.719 --> 03:42:00.600
bodyguards, I had not seen her.“ The doctor apologized for what he

2543
03:42:00.719 --> 03:42:03.680
meant by off- schedule,”
Calette asked, with his usual serious tone.

2544
03:42:05.719 --> 03:42:11.079
The doctor swallowed saliva. I meant
whenever she wants. He backed back

2545
03:42:11.159 --> 03:42:16.280
to the door. That was it. I' ll send the nurse to

2546
03:42:16.360 --> 03:42:22.159
sell her ankle with one last tense
smile. He retired from the office.

2547
03:42:22.120 --> 03:42:26.879
Calet frowned at the door as it
closed and took a roll of bandage that

2548
03:42:26.959 --> 03:42:31.440
the doctor had forgotten. I'
ll do it. I know how to

2549
03:42:31.440 --> 03:42:35.200
do it. She was surprised to
lift her leg and pass the bandage over

2550
03:42:35.319 --> 03:42:39.479
and over again around her ankle and
the arch of her foot. He did

2551
03:42:39.559 --> 03:42:45.479
so firmly, though without causing him
pain. Warm calet fingers were careful against

2552
03:42:45.520 --> 03:42:48.520
the cold skin of his calf,
ankle, and sole, causing chills to

2553
03:42:48.920 --> 03:42:56.840
climb up his leg. When he
ran out of breath, he looked at

2554
03:42:56.920 --> 03:43:03.719
her. We' re tight now. She was too distracted to respond.

2555
03:43:05.360 --> 03:43:09.159
He was touching his horrible feet and
he wasn' t turning away or wiping

2556
03:43:09.239 --> 03:43:13.680
his palms with his pants. Instead, I was holding her like she was

2557
03:43:13.760 --> 03:43:20.159
something beautiful. It was an intoxicating
feeling to have her wonderfully fully centered on

2558
03:43:20.440 --> 03:43:26.000
her, even though it was only
about her ankle, late she replied no,

2559
03:43:26.760 --> 03:43:31.479
it is not too crowded. He
again focused his attention on his ankle

2560
03:43:31.600 --> 03:43:35.200
and the edges of the business card
were nailed to the skin of esme.

2561
03:43:35.680 --> 03:43:39.680
As she clenched her fingers, she
wanted to touch her face, the taciturnal

2562
03:43:39.760 --> 03:43:45.079
lines of her profile, the forehead, the jaw, the outlined bridge of

2563
03:43:45.159 --> 03:43:50.719
her nose, and those lips that
cried for a kiss.“ That should

2564
03:43:50.719 --> 03:43:54.040
suffice,” Caleti said. When
she withdrew her hands, she saw that

2565
03:43:54.159 --> 03:43:58.399
she had bandaged her ankle with great
skill and had secured the end with a

2566
03:43:58.479 --> 03:44:05.520
metal loop or stopped feeling her toes, let me know and I will loosen

2567
03:44:05.559 --> 03:44:13.079
your bandage. OK. Thanks,
Ann You' re ready, we can

2568
03:44:13.079 --> 03:44:16.280
go. She felt and passed her
legs over the edge of the stretcher trying

2569
03:44:16.639 --> 03:44:20.760
to stand up, but once again, he held her in arms and charged

2570
03:44:20.920 --> 03:44:28.079
her to leave the room. I
can walk whispered It' s better if

2571
03:44:28.079 --> 03:44:30.879
you don' t. I don' t mind taking you in your arms.

2572
03:44:31.079 --> 03:44:35.360
He didn' t protest her.
She didn' t mind me taking

2573
03:44:35.360 --> 03:44:39.559
her either. No one' s
ever carried her like this since she was

2574
03:44:39.559 --> 03:44:45.319
a kid. However, as they
walked through the clinic, his hands were

2575
03:44:45.440 --> 03:44:50.559
in tight fists and arms. I
couldn' t forget how he had reacted

2576
03:44:50.639 --> 03:44:56.920
every time she had touched him before. He didn' t want to spoil

2577
03:44:56.040 --> 03:45:01.840
the moment or surprise him and let
him drop it after he went down for

2578
03:45:01.920 --> 03:45:03.120
a moment at the reception to pay
for his consultation. She didn' t

2579
03:45:03.200 --> 03:45:07.840
know how much it cost, because
she gave her credit card to the receptionist

2580
03:45:07.959 --> 03:45:11.319
before he could see me. The
calet receipt took her outside and put her

2581
03:45:11.399 --> 03:45:16.280
in the half- sleep car.
He watched the lights flashing as he drove

2582
03:45:16.360 --> 03:45:24.120
home. Then he broke the silence
on which stairs you found yourself when you

2583
03:45:24.120 --> 03:45:28.920
fell. There' s none in
my mother' s restaurant. Faced with

2584
03:45:30.000 --> 03:45:33.399
that question, I felt an adrenaline
rush and a cold sweat bathed her skin.

2585
03:45:35.879 --> 03:45:39.959
Stairs across the street that don'
t ask any more questions, please,

2586
03:45:39.479 --> 03:45:46.680
those of the Adult Institute. He
tried to sink me into his seat

2587
03:45:46.760 --> 03:45:52.479
and passed his fingers through the doorknob. I like your car which model is

2588
03:45:52.639 --> 03:45:58.520
a cork nine hundred eleven turbo that
per ché repeated. That' s a

2589
03:45:58.600 --> 03:46:03.079
very nice name. He shrugged his
shoulders and answered, I guess he did.

2590
03:46:05.120 --> 03:46:11.959
He relaxed my muscles. He had
managed to distract him, but when

2591
03:46:11.079 --> 03:46:16.280
he parked in front of his house
he didn' t get out of the

2592
03:46:16.360 --> 03:46:18.959
car right away what you were doing
in adult school. She turned around in

2593
03:46:20.000 --> 03:46:24.840
her seat and moved her legs.
He felt wet clothes under his arms and

2594
03:46:24.879 --> 03:46:28.639
his hair stuck to his neck.
All his efforts would be in vain if

2595
03:46:28.680 --> 03:46:35.680
he discovered it you were before he
could complete the question. She opened the

2596
03:46:35.799 --> 03:46:41.879
door and got out of the car. He' d been limping a quarter

2597
03:46:41.879 --> 03:46:45.600
of the way. When the car
blew out a beep and calm approached him

2598
03:46:45.680 --> 03:46:50.840
from behind. You shouldn' t, he said let me take you inside.

2599
03:46:52.000 --> 03:46:56.200
It wasn' t necessary. Her
ankle was already much better, but

2600
03:46:56.239 --> 03:47:00.639
she nodded anyway, he handed her
the keys and carried her as if she

2601
03:47:00.840 --> 03:47:05.600
were a tiny human being. After
she opened the door for him, Calet

2602
03:47:05.600 --> 03:47:11.600
brought her in and she enjoyed her
closeness. If he leaned a little further,

2603
03:47:13.079 --> 03:47:18.479
he could kiss him, although that
would probably startle him no kissing,

2604
03:47:20.040 --> 03:47:24.520
no rubbing. However, he felt
a tingling in the fingertips from the desire

2605
03:47:24.600 --> 03:47:28.920
to lightly caress the budding beard of
his jaw and the strong muscles of his

2606
03:47:30.040 --> 03:47:33.239
neck. What it would be like
to get your fingers through your hair.

2607
03:47:35.280 --> 03:47:37.879
The locks were thicker and darker than
her hair, and some of the irregular

2608
03:47:37.920 --> 03:47:46.360
curls fell behind her jaw. She
stopped touching them. You have to cut

2609
03:47:46.479 --> 03:47:52.760
your hair. He gave her a
look of irritation. I know I can

2610
03:47:52.879 --> 03:47:58.559
do it. I know how I
used to cut my hair My cousins,

2611
03:48:00.079 --> 03:48:01.479
I' m good with sore shirts, he said, but then he held

2612
03:48:01.479 --> 03:48:07.879
his breath. Cutting his hair at
home was too ordinary for him. Maybe

2613
03:48:07.959 --> 03:48:11.319
he shouldn' t have offered.
He paused in the lobby and stared at

2614
03:48:11.399 --> 03:48:18.000
her. You' d cut my
hair. Of course, you have to

2615
03:48:18.120 --> 03:48:24.280
do it in a certain way.
Show me a picture. If I follow

2616
03:48:24.360 --> 03:48:28.920
a model, I can do it. He seemed to want to say something

2617
03:48:28.920 --> 03:48:33.239
else. However, he carried her
to her room and after lying her on

2618
03:48:33.879 --> 03:48:39.799
the couch asked you to cut my
hair tomorrow morning. Please, she bit

2619
03:48:39.879 --> 03:48:43.920
her lip, but that didn'
t prevent her from drawing a broad smile

2620
03:48:43.959 --> 03:48:52.239
on her face. I' d
love to. Caleta felt great. Thank

2621
03:48:52.239 --> 03:48:56.799
you, how you' d like
it. You have a photograph. He

2622
03:48:56.879 --> 03:49:01.520
passed a hand through his hair.
I' ll let you decide the style.

2623
03:49:03.559 --> 03:49:09.479
I just want it shorter. I
can choose. Yes, of course,

2624
03:49:09.479 --> 03:49:13.799
Calette smiled slightly, put her hands
in her pockets, walked around the

2625
03:49:13.879 --> 03:49:20.879
room for no purpose and stopped by
the desk. A reflective look pierced his

2626
03:49:20.040 --> 03:49:26.760
face and took something from the desk. A photograph of the father of who

2627
03:49:26.879 --> 03:49:31.799
she is. He stared at his
injured ankle and moved his toes my mother

2628
03:49:31.879 --> 03:49:37.760
and father. Calette dipped her eyebrows
and looked at her. He went to

2629
03:49:37.799 --> 03:49:43.639
see what I read. She took
a breath and then breathed out. I

2630
03:49:43.760 --> 03:49:46.319
think so, but I' m
not sure. I don' t know

2631
03:49:46.319 --> 03:49:52.479
him. Ah Calette turned the photograph
to inspect the back, but she knew

2632
03:49:52.639 --> 03:49:58.479
there was nothing written there. You
think if we go there, they could

2633
03:50:00.520 --> 03:50:05.040
help me find him and see what
law she asked She nodded. He shrugged.

2634
03:50:07.239 --> 03:50:11.360
It' s a possibility. Hope
burst in the chest of esme we

2635
03:50:11.360 --> 03:50:18.239
can go tomorrow. After the haircut, Calette hesitated for a moment.“

2636
03:50:20.040 --> 03:50:28.159
Yes, okay, we can go,” she replied“ Finally she stood

2637
03:50:28.239 --> 03:50:33.600
up with so much joy that she
wanted to embrace him, but she held

2638
03:50:33.600 --> 03:50:37.399
back and only smiled. There'
s no need for an uncomfortable smile.

2639
03:50:37.520 --> 03:50:41.079
It was drawn in his mouth.
He walked towards the bathroom connecting his rooms,

2640
03:50:41.559 --> 03:50:46.159
but stopped with his hand resting on
the knob. Remember to remove your

2641
03:50:46.280 --> 03:50:52.680
bandage when you shower. I'
ll sell you back when you' re

2642
03:50:52.799 --> 03:50:56.360
ready to go to bed It'
s okay. When she retired, she

2643
03:50:56.440 --> 03:51:01.959
took a few moments to admire the
bandage on her ankle. It was perfectly

2644
03:51:01.959 --> 03:51:07.159
done, not too tight or too
loose, and the turns were evenly spaced.

2645
03:51:07.760 --> 03:51:13.399
So this way Calette took care of
someone. An image of him taking

2646
03:51:13.440 --> 03:51:16.719
care of Jade, pierced his mind. If he wanted it, he could

2647
03:51:16.799 --> 03:51:22.079
be charming with his little girl,
but sme didn' t know for sure

2648
03:51:22.159 --> 03:51:24.399
if that would happen and he shouldn' t let the idea get into his

2649
03:51:24.399 --> 03:51:31.200
head. He was just a good
person, that' s all. She

2650
03:51:31.319 --> 03:51:37.360
had been working for it to happen, but she was still herself anyway and

2651
03:51:37.760 --> 03:51:41.639
surprisingly the experience of her previous life
as and was going to be useful to

2652
03:51:41.719 --> 03:51:46.079
her the next day. So he
searched his phone for pictures of film and

2653
03:51:46.239 --> 03:51:52.479
music stars and memorized them. The
next day I' d make Calette the

2654
03:51:52.600 --> 03:51:58.639
best haircut of her life. Scene
twelve the next morning. It was all

2655
03:51:58.719 --> 03:52:03.280
ready for me. There was a
chair in the middle of the kitchen,

2656
03:52:05.399 --> 03:52:09.639
sharp scissors leaning on the countertop and
broom and shovel were ready for further cleaning.

2657
03:52:11.760 --> 03:52:16.959
All that was missing was Calettes put
her hands together and breathed deeply several

2658
03:52:18.040 --> 03:52:24.200
times. There was no need to
be nervous. She had made numerous haircuts

2659
03:52:24.239 --> 03:52:28.280
before. He would do a good
job, but what would happen if he

2660
03:52:28.399 --> 03:52:33.639
didn' t like it and if
he got angry because she had ruined his

2661
03:52:33.639 --> 03:52:37.280
hair. The shower went out and
a few moments later, Calete entered the

2662
03:52:37.360 --> 03:52:43.760
kitchen. He wore black shorts and
a black shirt with the phrase I love

2663
03:52:43.079 --> 03:52:50.319
taxes in white letters. The sleeves
were adjusted around the firm muscles of her

2664
03:52:50.360 --> 03:52:54.559
forearms and she forced herself to look
at her hair before she was completely distracted

2665
03:52:54.680 --> 03:52:58.719
fresh out of the shower, The
moisture was perfect to cut her veil well.

2666
03:53:01.159 --> 03:53:05.639
He watched the ankle of esme it
hurts to stand. We can do

2667
03:53:05.760 --> 03:53:13.079
this another time. She smiled.
He did not seem to notice the hurt

2668
03:53:13.200 --> 03:53:20.680
feelings, but an injured ankle caught
his attention. It' s not much

2669
03:53:22.799 --> 03:53:28.239
better Come on He took the back
of the chair. He obeyed and put

2670
03:53:28.319 --> 03:53:33.600
his legs together prepared, acting like
a professional, which he wasn' t.

2671
03:53:35.000 --> 03:53:37.959
He took my scissors, but he
interrupted her. I need you to

2672
03:53:39.000 --> 03:53:43.600
do it in a certain way.
You want to see the style I chose

2673
03:53:43.680 --> 03:53:48.799
for you I can show you.
He shook his head. It' s

2674
03:53:48.959 --> 03:53:56.479
not that. I trust your taste. Maybe he moved his hands up sometimes

2675
03:53:56.520 --> 03:54:01.440
and down his thighs were in him
rabid. Put the scissors down. He

2676
03:54:01.520 --> 03:54:11.120
was afraid I' d make a
mess of him. She didn' t

2677
03:54:11.239 --> 03:54:13.520
think I was gonna do it to
her. I had chosen something classic and

2678
03:54:13.520 --> 03:54:20.479
elegant. At least that' s
what she thought. I' m autistic

2679
03:54:20.520 --> 03:54:24.639
and I have some sensory problems.
Calette continued as she stared at the wall

2680
03:54:24.719 --> 03:54:30.959
I had to be touched in a
certain way, especially the face and the

2681
03:54:31.040 --> 03:54:35.280
hair took her gaze to her face. It' s probably better. If

2682
03:54:35.399 --> 03:54:39.360
he shows you, you could give
me one of your hands. He stretched

2683
03:54:39.440 --> 03:54:45.760
out his palm and esme approached him. She did not know what Baptist or

2684
03:54:45.879 --> 03:54:52.879
sensory problems meant, but understood that
he was teaching something important to himself.

2685
03:54:54.000 --> 03:54:58.760
Containing the breath. She slowly lowered
her hand, approached, ace drew a

2686
03:54:58.760 --> 03:55:07.440
little closer until they touched each other. He bit his lip waiting for him

2687
03:55:07.639 --> 03:55:11.360
to suddenly turn away or make a
grimace. Calet' s warm fingers closed

2688
03:55:11.479 --> 03:55:16.920
around her hand and squeezed her and
she felt a wave of warmth. As

2689
03:55:16.000 --> 03:55:22.440
they exhaled, they were joining their
hands. He cleared his throat. Soft

2690
03:55:22.600 --> 03:55:28.000
rubbing bothers me and it' s
worse when I don' t expect it,

2691
03:55:28.200 --> 03:55:31.559
so when you cut my hair,
I' d appreciate it if you

2692
03:55:31.559 --> 03:55:35.319
' d touch me firmly. Thus, he took the hand of esme between

2693
03:55:35.399 --> 03:55:39.239
his and pressed her palm against her
chest, holding his hands on hers.

2694
03:55:41.120 --> 03:55:46.520
He seemed calm, firm, competent
as ever, but his heart beat wildly

2695
03:55:46.680 --> 03:55:52.159
under the palm of esme. I
was nervous. Yes, but not for

2696
03:55:52.239 --> 03:55:58.440
the reason she had thought. All
those times when I whispered she, he

2697
03:55:58.440 --> 03:56:07.520
breathed deep and her chest rose too
soft and I was unsuspecting. I didn

2698
03:56:07.639 --> 03:56:13.399
' t know. She thought they
were her rubs. I' ve never

2699
03:56:13.520 --> 03:56:18.319
imagined they were the touch of anyone
you feel if someone touches you so softly.

2700
03:56:18.280 --> 03:56:24.200
Calette frowned. It' s too
nearly painful, but I prefer real

2701
03:56:24.200 --> 03:56:31.920
pain. It' s hard to
describe. If I need to touch you,

2702
03:56:31.760 --> 03:56:37.159
I should warn you first she asked
yes, it' s better to

2703
03:56:37.159 --> 03:56:39.840
warn me if I' m unsuspecting. She threw some of her own arm.

2704
03:56:41.239 --> 03:56:45.479
I can touch your face. He
nodded and let his hands loose her

2705
03:56:45.520 --> 03:56:48.799
hands, but his throat moved when
he made an effort to swallow saliva.

2706
03:56:50.639 --> 03:56:56.680
She carried her fingers to his jaw, but stopped before making contact. You

2707
03:56:56.760 --> 03:57:00.360
can help me. I didn'
t want to do it the right way.

2708
03:57:01.360 --> 03:57:05.000
Calette' s lips curved with the
glimpse of a smile and held her

2709
03:57:05.079 --> 03:57:09.079
hand to her face as she pressed
her cheek against the palm of esme you

2710
03:57:09.239 --> 03:57:13.600
don' t have to worry so
much. Now I know what' s

2711
03:57:13.600 --> 03:57:18.639
going on. If we do it
together, I can control my reactions.

2712
03:57:18.799 --> 03:57:24.760
That' s wrong. She asked
fearing to move a single finger. It

2713
03:57:24.280 --> 03:57:28.079
' s not right. As for
my hair, you' d better keep

2714
03:57:28.159 --> 03:57:33.040
a good strain on the locks while
you cut them I don' t mind

2715
03:57:33.159 --> 03:57:39.360
you pulling hard on them. It
doesn' t hurt, but no soft

2716
03:57:39.360 --> 03:57:46.639
brushing. Please, no soft rubbings. Es He took his other hand to

2717
03:57:46.799 --> 03:57:50.040
him, folded his fingers while he
hesitated and then passed them through Calette'

2718
03:57:50.120 --> 03:57:54.879
s wet hair, firmly pressing the
tip of his fingers against his scalp.

2719
03:57:56.760 --> 03:58:01.120
That' s good. When Calette' s eyelids were thirteen of the pleasure

2720
03:58:01.159 --> 03:58:05.399
and he nodded and esme felt braver. He moved the other hand from his

2721
03:58:05.559 --> 03:58:09.479
jaw to his hundred and then towards
the line of his hair. How about

2722
03:58:09.600 --> 03:58:18.280
this whispered well the word escaped like
a deep grunt almost rough his hair felt

2723
03:58:18.360 --> 03:58:24.959
thick and fresh between her fingers.
Soft as silk before I realized what I

2724
03:58:24.040 --> 03:58:30.479
was doing. He was massaging his
scalp with slow and wide movements, and

2725
03:58:30.879 --> 03:58:35.559
he was allowing it. Calette closed
her eyes and gave herself to her hands

2726
03:58:35.639 --> 03:58:41.959
as if she were absorbing them.
She breathed slowly and relaxedly if she supported

2727
03:58:41.040 --> 03:58:46.079
the palm of her hand against her
chest. At that time I was sure

2728
03:58:46.120 --> 03:58:50.719
that the heartbeat would be calmer and
that was up to him. I had.

2729
03:58:50.239 --> 03:58:54.159
She threw me out of the locks, as she always did, cutting

2730
03:58:54.239 --> 03:58:58.879
someone' s hair. That'
s good. He frowned, but didn

2731
03:59:00.360 --> 03:59:09.040
' t open his eyes any louder. So he threw more strongly, but

2732
03:59:09.239 --> 03:59:15.680
he bit his lip and threw even
more fearsomely to hurt him. So,

2733
03:59:16.760 --> 03:59:22.719
Calet let go of a prolonged sigh. That' s better. She shook

2734
03:59:22.760 --> 03:59:28.600
her head as she smiled inside.
Caleta was a riddle she would never have

2735
03:59:28.680 --> 03:59:31.719
solved if he hadn' t taught
her how to do it. However,

2736
03:59:31.079 --> 03:59:39.840
those were the best riddles that no
one else could decipher. Now I'

2737
03:59:39.920 --> 03:59:43.840
ll start cutting. He announced me, he opened his eyes and focused on

2738
03:59:43.959 --> 03:59:48.719
her. All right. She heard
his words and recognized them as a consent

2739
03:59:48.840 --> 03:59:54.719
to move forward. However, he
could not withdraw his hands. I wanted

2740
03:59:54.840 --> 03:59:58.040
to be close to him. No
further. The massages had made his cheeks

2741
03:59:58.120 --> 04:00:05.200
blush and his dark eyes acquired a
drowsy look. She' d never wanted

2742
04:00:05.319 --> 04:00:09.639
to kiss her lips so much.
The need to kiss him became a wild

2743
04:00:09.680 --> 04:00:15.520
desire and wanted to climb over his
lap and press his body against his and

2744
04:00:15.639 --> 04:00:20.600
touch, touch, touch. He
moved away from him suddenly before doing anything

2745
04:00:20.680 --> 04:00:24.920
he repented of and took a few
seconds to sort out his thoughts. I

2746
04:00:26.079 --> 04:00:30.959
was just gonna cut her hair.
That was it. His words resounded in

2747
04:00:31.040 --> 04:00:37.559
his head as a reminder. Do
you have to stop? What? You

2748
04:00:37.559 --> 04:00:45.799
understand, you have what to stop? If he wanted anything else, he

2749
04:00:45.920 --> 04:00:50.600
' d have to ask him.
She wouldn' t. The coldness of

2750
04:00:50.639 --> 04:00:54.479
the scissors brought her back to the
present and her mind sharpened as a surgeon

2751
04:00:54.600 --> 04:01:00.280
would by taking a well- looked
scalpel. Caleta had been very tolerated before

2752
04:01:00.360 --> 04:01:03.600
her and, in addition, today
she would take her to look for her

2753
04:01:03.600 --> 04:01:07.479
father. Cutting her hair was a
good way to return the favor and I

2754
04:01:07.600 --> 04:01:11.319
wanted to do it right. I' m going to start, he told

2755
04:01:11.399 --> 04:01:16.799
him after he stood behind him.
Ok However, as had happened before,

2756
04:01:16.000 --> 04:01:24.159
he had difficulty taking the first step. He couldn' t see her from

2757
04:01:24.280 --> 04:01:30.079
that position. What would happen if
she startled him and ruined everything. Before

2758
04:01:30.159 --> 04:01:35.879
he began, he held my hand
high next to Calette' s left ear.

2759
04:01:37.399 --> 04:01:41.319
I can put my hand on your
hair. Calet looked over her shoulder,

2760
04:01:41.520 --> 04:01:45.760
gave her a perplexed smile and leaned
her hand against her hair before looking

2761
04:01:45.879 --> 04:01:54.440
forward. Esme' s movements were
dubitative at first, but he gained confidence

2762
04:01:54.600 --> 04:01:58.920
with each scissors cut. He gathered
his hair between his fingers, striving by

2763
04:02:00.159 --> 04:02:03.399
sea to have the tension very firm, cut off and then passed his fingers

2764
04:02:03.399 --> 04:02:07.479
over his hair. Before taking another
lock, she repeated these movements over and

2765
04:02:07.600 --> 04:02:13.000
over again and very soon rhythmic nature
relaxed her as much as he did.

2766
04:02:13.280 --> 04:02:18.719
He cut his hair from behind and
from both sides and ended up in front

2767
04:02:18.840 --> 04:02:22.440
of him with one last move of
scissors. A dark lock floated to the

2768
04:02:22.520 --> 04:02:26.159
kitchen floor is took me a step
back to evaluate his work from the distance

2769
04:02:26.239 --> 04:02:33.159
and transformation. He left her breathless. He had looked handsome before, but

2770
04:02:33.159 --> 04:02:39.440
that was too much. The short
hair left his face clear and highlighted his

2771
04:02:39.559 --> 04:02:45.120
strong features to the maximum. The
girls would jump on her starting with her.

2772
04:02:45.520 --> 04:02:52.239
If he did not contain himself as
it was, he asked, making

2773
04:02:52.319 --> 04:02:54.399
sure to touch his hair firmly.
It took me two strands to see if

2774
04:02:54.520 --> 04:03:01.200
the length was the same on both
sides. He saw well slamming the scissors

2775
04:03:01.280 --> 04:03:07.520
handle against his jaws. He let
a smile slip to his lips. I

2776
04:03:07.600 --> 04:03:13.879
' m good calet He took his
phone out of his pocket unlocked it and

2777
04:03:13.879 --> 04:03:16.319
handed it to her. Azu photo
for Ubé and Greek. Please, she

2778
04:03:18.440 --> 04:03:22.760
' s the one who controls my
hair. It took pictures of me from

2779
04:03:22.879 --> 04:03:28.200
several different angles. Before returning his
phone, he sent his favorite. He

2780
04:03:28.319 --> 04:03:31.719
' ll like it. Calet scratched
her neck where there were hairs attached to

2781
04:03:31.799 --> 04:03:37.760
her skin, while she sent the
same photograph to Obé and Greek. We

2782
04:03:37.879 --> 04:03:41.280
' ll see, he took the
broom and the shovel and had already cleaned

2783
04:03:41.399 --> 04:03:46.040
half the hair on the floor.
When the caletson phone laughed, he showed

2784
04:03:46.079 --> 04:03:52.559
her the text messages on the screen. Finally, who cut it off for

2785
04:03:52.680 --> 04:04:01.959
you. Give him fifty percent tip. My little brother' s pretty hot,

2786
04:04:01.239 --> 04:04:05.959
I guess he likes it. Calette
said he smiled at me I told

2787
04:04:05.959 --> 04:04:09.879
you he' d like it.
Thank you. He smiled back and it

2788
04:04:11.200 --> 04:04:15.239
was one of his strange royal smiles
that narrowed his eyes, shaped dimples on

2789
04:04:15.280 --> 04:04:22.559
his cheeks and revealed his perfect white
teeth throughout the heavens. She wanted to

2790
04:04:22.639 --> 04:04:28.159
kiss that smile and both dimples.
A pure desire spread through his body in

2791
04:04:28.200 --> 04:04:33.200
electric currents, causing his skin to
rise and almost staggered toward him. If

2792
04:04:33.319 --> 04:04:37.600
she managed to improve her image as
an accountant, maybe he would want it

2793
04:04:37.600 --> 04:04:45.239
too. Calet' s smile faded
away. What' s wrong with me

2794
04:04:45.239 --> 04:04:50.760
is a bad thing. I want
to kiss you she answered without thinking about

2795
04:04:50.799 --> 04:04:54.239
it when she heard the words that
escaped from her mouth an intense blush,

2796
04:04:54.559 --> 04:04:58.840
tinted her cheeks, turned around and
set out to empty the shovel in the

2797
04:04:58.840 --> 04:05:03.120
trash can. Why did he say
that, why did he come close to

2798
04:05:03.200 --> 04:05:09.399
him? She moved around, sweeping
the rest of the hair off the floor.

2799
04:05:11.559 --> 04:05:16.120
I' m sorry, forget what
I said. He threw it all

2800
04:05:16.200 --> 04:05:22.280
in the trash can and rushed to
keep it broom in the closet. When

2801
04:05:22.360 --> 04:05:26.200
you want to go and see what
law we can get as soon as I

2802
04:05:26.280 --> 04:05:30.559
eat something and take a shower again, I guess Calette answered by scrubbing her

2803
04:05:30.559 --> 04:05:33.600
neck. It' s okay.
I' ll get ready. He walked

2804
04:05:33.680 --> 04:05:39.440
away limping down the hall. Wait, you' re not hungry, not

2805
04:05:39.440 --> 04:05:46.200
food. No. Thank you,
Anne, then I' ll find you

2806
04:05:46.280 --> 04:05:48.440
when it' s time to go. He told us as he passed his

2807
04:05:48.520 --> 04:05:54.000
hands through his hair. Freshly cut, take your time. She' d

2808
04:05:54.079 --> 04:06:00.440
just be in her room trying not
to think of him scene thirteen. While

2809
04:06:00.559 --> 04:06:03.280
Kay was taking esme aber that I
read I couldn' t stop thinking about

2810
04:06:03.360 --> 04:06:07.799
the confession she had made to her. She wanted to kiss him. He

2811
04:06:07.879 --> 04:06:11.280
wanted to kiss her, too,
but he couldn' t do it.

2812
04:06:13.280 --> 04:06:16.920
You kissed a woman if you wanted
to go out with her and have a

2813
04:06:16.040 --> 04:06:20.799
relationship, if you wanted to love
her and she loved you, if you

2814
04:06:20.920 --> 04:06:24.079
could love if you kissed a woman
and couldn' t fulfill the rest you

2815
04:06:24.079 --> 04:06:28.360
were an idiot. It was preferable
to masturbate in the shower. I wish,

2816
04:06:28.799 --> 04:06:33.440
that was an option since I had
entered his life. Kay was in

2817
04:06:33.520 --> 04:06:39.040
a permanent state of excitement and had
found no relief, except for what happened

2818
04:06:39.079 --> 04:06:45.239
by accident. While sleeping to date, she had to get up four times

2819
04:06:45.319 --> 04:06:50.520
in the middle of the night to
change her underwear. She was too humiliating

2820
04:06:50.639 --> 04:06:58.879
to be twelve years old again and
in her dream she was always there and

2821
04:06:58.959 --> 04:07:05.000
always wore swamps. It' s
been a while since I' ve seen

2822
04:07:05.000 --> 04:07:11.479
those pants. In particular, he
recently wore a pair of blue jins that

2823
04:07:11.559 --> 04:07:15.559
seemed to be painted on his legs. He didn' t like the fabric,

2824
04:07:15.959 --> 04:07:20.360
but he wouldn' t have bothered
to pass his palms through his thighs

2825
04:07:20.440 --> 04:07:22.680
to be someone who didn' t
like to touch. I spent a lot

2826
04:07:22.760 --> 04:07:28.520
of time having fantasy about it.
When they arrived on campus, he parked

2827
04:07:28.600 --> 04:07:33.639
as close to the admission office as
humanly possible and walked down the sidewalk together.

2828
04:07:35.520 --> 04:07:41.000
Oh more like he walked She took
the doctor. I should have given

2829
04:07:41.159 --> 04:07:50.559
you crutches instead of his opportunist phone
number. How you feel you need help.

2830
04:07:50.719 --> 04:07:54.959
It doesn' t hurt that much. His smile was brighter than the

2831
04:07:54.040 --> 04:08:01.319
long- sleeved yellow shirt he wore. One of the sleeves had a phrase

2832
04:08:01.360 --> 04:08:05.760
written in orange that said enm geoan
geohem his Vietnamese written It was horrible,

2833
04:08:07.200 --> 04:08:11.120
but he knew enough to translate the
phrase as girl Loves boy, Loves girl.

2834
04:08:11.680 --> 04:08:16.680
Nice concept, the circle of love
and all that was a shame that

2835
04:08:16.799 --> 04:08:22.879
he could never complete it. Let
me know if you need to rest,

2836
04:08:24.120 --> 04:08:26.319
I can take you there in my
arms. She put a lock of hair

2837
04:08:26.399 --> 04:08:31.639
behind her ear. If you do
that, people will think you' re

2838
04:08:33.639 --> 04:08:37.319
my boyfriend Kai looked at the students
who were walking around campus and shrugged and

2839
04:08:37.399 --> 04:08:45.200
why I should care in that case. It hurts so much. She responded

2840
04:08:45.280 --> 04:08:50.399
while smiling with satisfaction and limping in
an exaggerated way. He knew her enough

2841
04:08:50.559 --> 04:08:54.120
to know when she was joking,
but he held her up. Likewise,

2842
04:08:56.200 --> 04:09:00.440
he laughed at me and wrapped his
arms around him, smiling at him as

2843
04:09:00.559 --> 04:09:03.719
his eyes shone in the sunlight.
At that time and place, Kay decided

2844
04:09:03.799 --> 04:09:07.600
that green was her favorite color,
but it had to be that specific shade

2845
04:09:07.680 --> 04:09:13.319
of green sea foamés. I
was embarrassed all of a sudden and his

2846
04:09:13.440 --> 04:09:18.159
hands were closed in fists. I
can walk. We' re coming.

2847
04:09:18.159 --> 04:09:22.840
What made a head gesture towards the
large white building that had four huge columns

2848
04:09:22.959 --> 04:09:28.760
and the name spo ha or engraved
on the central double doors. The admissions

2849
04:09:28.840 --> 04:09:33.360
office is there. Inside they should
have a database of all the students who

2850
04:09:33.479 --> 04:09:39.680
have attended here, although I do
not know if they will give us the

2851
04:09:41.879 --> 04:09:46.079
information what you want Watching the building
nodded me, he climbed up those same

2852
04:09:46.079 --> 04:09:52.559
stairs. She shook her legs and
he let her down. He dedicated a

2853
04:09:52.719 --> 04:09:58.000
distracted smile to her before renqueando down
the stairs towards the building. When they

2854
04:09:58.000 --> 04:10:00.959
entered, she went through the place
with the aim of giving attention and open

2855
04:10:01.079 --> 04:10:05.639
mouth. What put his hands in
his pockets and left space for Esme to

2856
04:10:05.719 --> 04:10:11.280
explore. Actually, I didn'
t understand his fascination. It was just

2857
04:10:11.319 --> 04:10:15.200
a building and it wasn' t
like his father left a part of it.

2858
04:10:15.239 --> 04:10:20.000
There good and if I had done
so it was very unpleasant. There

2859
04:10:20.079 --> 04:10:26.559
was no one waiting in the office, so they came straight to the hi

2860
04:10:26.959 --> 04:10:28.840
counter where I can help them.
A boy asked through his huge red-

2861
04:10:30.399 --> 04:10:35.440
haired beard. He hugged my purse
against his chest, moistened his lips and

2862
04:10:35.520 --> 04:10:39.120
looked quickly at it before answering with
a rehearsed Englishman. My father attended this

2863
04:10:39.239 --> 04:10:46.239
university a long time ago. Her
name' s fel. You could find

2864
04:10:46.360 --> 04:10:52.799
him for me, please, so
I could speak English, only I chose

2865
04:10:52.920 --> 04:10:58.120
not to do it with him.
The boy looked at them both over their

2866
04:10:58.159 --> 04:11:03.559
glasses in the purple mount. You' re serious He nodded me.“

2867
04:11:05.840 --> 04:11:09.600
He doesn’ t know his last
name,” the boy asked. She

2868
04:11:09.719 --> 04:11:15.319
swallowed saliva, shook her head and
responded again in English. Not the only

2869
04:11:15.440 --> 04:11:18.959
thing that' s his name.
Felt Kay turned her head slowly to observe

2870
04:11:20.040 --> 04:11:26.120
her. He only knew his father' s name Pila. That was surprising

2871
04:11:26.319 --> 04:11:31.639
and sad. He abruptly reduced his
chances of finding him. There' s

2872
04:11:31.719 --> 04:11:37.399
probably thousands of people here called Fel
I' m one of them myself.

2873
04:11:37.600 --> 04:11:43.760
The boy hit the brooch that had
his name fellophellopsen street with his eyebrows.

2874
04:11:46.000 --> 04:11:48.399
The boy was a fel in two
hundred percent, but neither his age nor

2875
04:11:48.520 --> 04:11:54.680
his complexion fit. She has a
photograph sme rushed to her purse and handed

2876
04:11:54.799 --> 04:12:01.879
it to the boy twenty- four
years ago. He tried to smile,

2877
04:12:01.479 --> 04:12:07.600
but his lips barely curved before his
throat cleared Philip Phillipson offered him a smile

2878
04:12:07.680 --> 04:12:15.040
of apology. I' d really
like to help you, but I'

2879
04:12:15.079 --> 04:12:18.879
m not authorized to give that kind
of information. I' m so sorry,

2880
04:12:20.079 --> 04:12:22.760
but the studio here insisted. Her. I' m so sorry.

2881
04:12:24.760 --> 04:12:30.399
Maybe you should hire a private detective. He suggested that he hugged the photograph

2882
04:12:30.520 --> 04:12:33.760
against my chest while his eyes were
getting glassy and kay wanted to stretch his

2883
04:12:33.840 --> 04:12:39.600
arm over the counter to force Fel
to apologize before he could do so.

2884
04:12:39.040 --> 04:12:43.159
He walked away from the counter and
ran out of the office. He followed

2885
04:12:43.239 --> 04:12:48.719
her as she moved away from the
building, lowered the steps with difficulty and

2886
04:12:48.799 --> 04:12:52.120
crossed by limping a square to sit
next to a circular fountain. He took

2887
04:12:52.200 --> 04:12:56.600
a deep breath from me several times. However, from what Kay could see

2888
04:12:56.680 --> 04:13:01.000
she was not crying, although she
might well be doing so, as there

2889
04:13:01.159 --> 04:13:05.319
was not so much difference with what
she was actually doing. A familiar sense

2890
04:13:05.399 --> 04:13:11.120
of futility took hold of him.
I never knew what to do when someone

2891
04:13:11.239 --> 04:13:16.159
got that sentimental, but I wanted
to do something for lack of a better

2892
04:13:16.159 --> 04:13:20.040
idea. He sat next to her
and told her my parents divorced when I

2893
04:13:20.120 --> 04:13:26.280
was little. I know my father, but I never see him. She

2894
04:13:26.399 --> 04:13:33.000
turned to look at him why not
again in Vietnamese why he did it.

2895
04:13:33.920 --> 04:13:39.040
He' s busy with his new
family and lives in Santa Ana. He

2896
04:13:39.159 --> 04:13:45.040
' s an accountant like me or
maybe I' m like he doesn'

2897
04:13:45.040 --> 04:13:50.440
t know. He rubbed his neck. Maybe it' s best you don

2898
04:13:50.479 --> 04:13:54.360
' t know your father. You
can always imagine it' s better than

2899
04:13:54.360 --> 04:13:58.000
mine. That' s true a
smile. Leve looked at his lips,

2900
04:13:58.440 --> 04:14:03.959
but since he vanished quickly, but
I just wanted to meet him, and

2901
04:14:05.079 --> 04:14:09.280
if I leave without seeing him,
I will have wasted this trip and passed

2902
04:14:09.399 --> 04:14:15.120
a sleeve through his eyes and tried
to take more deep breaths, but then

2903
04:14:15.200 --> 04:14:20.799
his face contracted and his shoulders shook
shit. Now I was really crying something

2904
04:14:20.920 --> 04:14:24.680
very similar to panic. He assaulted
him. She couldn' t cry.

2905
04:14:24.079 --> 04:14:28.559
He had to be happy for both
of us, because he didn' t

2906
04:14:28.559 --> 04:14:31.680
know how to do it. Kay
took one of her hands. Holding hands

2907
04:14:31.719 --> 04:14:37.399
was good, no, but then
she leaned against him and soon he was

2908
04:14:37.479 --> 04:14:45.040
hugging. As she buried her face
against her neck, he Aire escaped from

2909
04:14:45.120 --> 04:14:50.479
her lungs. She was in her
arms turning to him, trusting him as

2910
04:14:50.840 --> 04:14:58.399
you saw her having a nightmare.
It was terrifying, it was wonderful.

2911
04:14:58.399 --> 04:15:03.280
He didn' t know or do
anything but hold her tighter. Students crossed

2912
04:15:03.360 --> 04:15:07.760
the square, the birds trolled in
the trees and blew a gentle breeze.

2913
04:15:09.159 --> 04:15:15.440
Sunlight warmed his face. She snuggled
even more and noticed the weight of her

2914
04:15:15.520 --> 04:15:20.879
body on him. He felt her
lips on her neck. That used to

2915
04:15:22.000 --> 04:15:24.440
count as a kiss. Esme turned
her face aside and watched it through her

2916
04:15:24.479 --> 04:15:28.360
wet eyelashes and he rinsed her tears
from her cheek with her thumb so soft,

2917
04:15:28.639 --> 04:15:35.879
so beautiful. Kayle pulled a few
wet strands of hair away from her

2918
04:15:37.000 --> 04:15:43.079
temples and her lips grew open in
an instant everything changed. The wind became

2919
04:15:43.159 --> 04:15:46.040
velvet and the noise became the intense
beat of his heart and the torrent of

2920
04:15:46.120 --> 04:15:52.440
his blood. The colors became brighter
and danced the green of her eyes,

2921
04:15:52.680 --> 04:15:58.559
the yellow of her shirt, the
blue of the summer sky. Everything revolved

2922
04:15:58.639 --> 04:16:02.440
around the rose in his mouth.
He didn' t realize what he was

2923
04:16:02.520 --> 04:16:06.239
doing until he saw the tips of
his fingers. Scouring the lower lip of

2924
04:16:06.440 --> 04:16:11.280
esme was a wonderful image to see
her skin tanned against her pale face.

2925
04:16:11.639 --> 04:16:17.600
Her eyes became bright and dreamy and
when she crossed her lips with her fingers

2926
04:16:17.719 --> 04:16:25.559
again, her mouth opened a little
more. Kay found herself leaning over her,

2927
04:16:25.879 --> 04:16:32.159
wishing, wishing, but managed to
stop before she broke all her rules.

2928
04:16:33.959 --> 04:16:37.000
“ You can kiss me,”
she said and her voice was a

2929
04:16:37.200 --> 04:16:41.200
mixture, soft and rough at the
same time whenever you want. You can

2930
04:16:41.200 --> 04:16:44.440
kiss me. Girl, Love,
Boy, Love, Girl, Repeated I

2931
04:16:44.520 --> 04:16:48.520
fell on her head. He couldn' t love her, he couldn'

2932
04:16:48.559 --> 04:16:53.559
t make any kind of promise.
He had to stay away from her with

2933
04:16:53.639 --> 04:16:59.559
his eyes fixed on his. She
continued You can kiss me and touch me

2934
04:16:59.639 --> 04:17:03.799
and not marry me. I just
want to be with you before I go.

2935
04:17:03.840 --> 04:17:10.559
His words provoked mixed reactions. Her
stomach flipped at the prospect of her

2936
04:17:10.639 --> 04:17:15.399
leaving and at the same time the
tension left her muscles. She had given

2937
04:17:15.520 --> 04:17:22.360
her permission and made it very clear
that she had no expectation of kissing her

2938
04:17:22.479 --> 04:17:26.680
was unrelated to dating her or having
a relationship or marrying or feeling love.

2939
04:17:27.399 --> 04:17:32.639
I could just kiss her. If
I wanted to, I could kiss her.

2940
04:17:33.520 --> 04:17:38.280
Cai' s skin turned hot and
knew what would happen. I'

2941
04:17:38.440 --> 04:17:45.120
d kiss Esme now it was inevitable. He caressed her cheek with the back

2942
04:17:45.200 --> 04:17:51.079
of her hand and a trembling sigh
escaped her lips. He had to taste

2943
04:17:51.079 --> 04:17:56.280
them. I had to meet them. Now surrounding his face with his hands

2944
04:17:56.719 --> 04:18:03.959
he approached her. Esmeralda is you, a strong voice with a strong Russian

2945
04:18:03.079 --> 04:18:08.360
accent. He interrupted them. Oh
no, that voice seemed familiar to him.

2946
04:18:10.399 --> 04:18:14.680
He suddenly moved away from Calette and
her heart turned. When his fears

2947
04:18:14.719 --> 04:18:22.479
were confirmed. It was she hello
Angelica Caletes saw the look at the Russian

2948
04:18:22.879 --> 04:18:26.840
woman Alta and Blonde and I was
flooded by a cold sweat. He would

2949
04:18:26.959 --> 04:18:33.280
discover that she was a great liar
and then consider her inferior. I didn

2950
04:18:33.360 --> 04:18:37.319
' t know you had a boyfriend. Angelica Calette said she didn' t

2951
04:18:37.319 --> 04:18:41.000
correct it. Maybe that meant something, but I didn' t have time

2952
04:18:41.079 --> 04:18:47.360
to think about it. They needed
to leave immediately. Maybe if they rushed

2953
04:18:47.760 --> 04:18:51.719
Calette she wouldn' t notice anything. That' s who stood up from

2954
04:18:51.879 --> 04:18:59.159
a jump. We have to go
see you later Angelica wanted to hold Calette

2955
04:18:59.239 --> 04:19:03.000
by the arm and flush with her, but she was afraid to touch him

2956
04:19:03.120 --> 04:19:07.520
the wrong way. After a moment
of doubt, she walked away gnawing alone

2957
04:19:07.639 --> 04:19:12.479
waiting for him to follow her.
Luckily, he did, but instead of

2958
04:19:12.559 --> 04:19:19.360
letting them go in peace, Angelica
followed him. I was thinking of applying

2959
04:19:19.399 --> 04:19:22.639
for admission here if I approve of
high school, but I don' t

2960
04:19:22.639 --> 04:19:27.440
know if I' ll make it. If you show up, you'

2961
04:19:27.440 --> 04:19:33.600
ll pass for sure. Addressing Calette, he added emerald. He' s

2962
04:19:33.600 --> 04:19:38.319
very smart. He scores very well
on every test. The heart overtook me

2963
04:19:38.399 --> 04:19:44.399
and began to beat so hard that
his vision clouded. Too late.“

2964
04:19:45.799 --> 04:19:49.840
You are going to class,”
he asked at the adult school, in

2965
04:19:49.959 --> 04:19:53.280
front of my mother’ s restaurant. She nodded as she looked down,

2966
04:19:53.680 --> 04:20:00.680
wishing she could melt into the cracks
between the bricks. Now he knew she

2967
04:20:00.840 --> 04:20:06.840
wasn' t the bookkeeper. That' s who didn' t even get

2968
04:20:06.959 --> 04:20:11.639
out of high school. Angelica stepped
back a step with discomfort. I'

2969
04:20:12.040 --> 04:20:18.120
ve seen you guys later on for
a good weekend, nice to meet you.

2970
04:20:18.200 --> 04:20:22.360
He greeted her with his hand and
Calet dedicated his typical smile attempt to

2971
04:20:22.479 --> 04:20:26.879
Angelica before returning his attention to esme. When he opened his mouth to speak,

2972
04:20:27.479 --> 04:20:33.239
I was quick to say we'
re done here. We should go

2973
04:20:33.239 --> 04:20:37.239
back. While I was coming back
limping where they had come from. She

2974
04:20:37.360 --> 04:20:41.280
got distracted by contemplating as many campus
details as she could. His father had

2975
04:20:41.399 --> 04:20:47.479
walked on the same floor, breathed
the same air, seen those same trees.

2976
04:20:48.600 --> 04:20:52.079
That was probably the closest I'
d ever be to him. Calet

2977
04:20:52.159 --> 04:20:57.559
reached her with the agile strides of
her legs, long and uninjured. We

2978
04:20:57.680 --> 04:21:03.559
should go the other way, but
the car' s this way. He

2979
04:21:03.680 --> 04:21:10.319
pointed to the parking lot. There
is another place where we could investigate she

2980
04:21:10.440 --> 04:21:18.239
paused another place, the alumni building
may be more willing to help us.

2981
04:21:18.680 --> 04:21:22.159
I should have taken you there first. You need me to help you get

2982
04:21:22.159 --> 04:21:27.000
there. It' s not far. It' s over there. He

2983
04:21:27.000 --> 04:21:30.959
gestured in the other direction towards a
set of more modern buildings surrounded by old

2984
04:21:32.079 --> 04:21:40.479
trees. I' ll walk Let' s go It overturned me as quickly

2985
04:21:40.520 --> 04:21:44.840
as it could through the crowd of
students, wishing that if they moved quickly

2986
04:21:44.840 --> 04:21:48.239
they couldn' t talk. But
that didn' t prevent Calette from asking

2987
04:21:48.360 --> 04:21:52.440
what classes you' re going to
Esme surrounded her chest with her arms,

2988
04:21:52.719 --> 04:21:59.360
even though she wasn' t cold
English, social studies and accounting, three

2989
04:21:59.360 --> 04:22:04.399
classes. That' s not much
she is. I couldn' t compare

2990
04:22:04.520 --> 04:22:08.520
that to anything. All she knew
was that she spent a lot of time

2991
04:22:08.600 --> 04:22:15.840
sneaking around when she thought no one
saw her. That' s what he

2992
04:22:15.879 --> 04:22:18.399
wanted to put his hand through his
hair, but when he ran into the

2993
04:22:18.399 --> 04:22:22.479
shorter curls, he caressed his neck. I was never very good at those

2994
04:22:22.559 --> 04:22:29.239
subjects, except in accounting. Of
course, I get along very well with

2995
04:22:29.360 --> 04:22:36.200
the numbers. She smiled at hearing
that I too were the same, no

2996
04:22:36.239 --> 04:22:40.520
matter what language they were speaking in. He returned his smile before looking carefully

2997
04:22:40.600 --> 04:22:47.760
at the treetops. If you ever
need help, I can try. I

2998
04:22:47.879 --> 04:22:52.319
wouldn' t mind. She watched
her feet take uneven steps on the ground

2999
04:22:52.399 --> 04:22:56.719
to avoid looking at him. Take
a step? To drag? Take a

3000
04:22:56.799 --> 04:23:00.840
step? To drag? Take a
step? To drag? When he finally

3001
04:23:00.959 --> 04:23:07.559
gathered the courage, he forced himself
to say sorry for lying. I'

3002
04:23:07.639 --> 04:23:14.479
m not an accountant. I took
clean air places, breathed out and felt

3003
04:23:14.600 --> 04:23:22.479
myself withered inside there at home.
I didn' t finish school. We

3004
04:23:22.559 --> 04:23:27.040
needed money, because I wasn'
t too weak to work. So I

3005
04:23:27.120 --> 04:23:33.559
started doing cleaning and then he bit
his lip before mentioning that he had a

3006
04:23:33.639 --> 04:23:37.799
daughter. When he looked at me, he saw that he was looking forward

3007
04:23:37.959 --> 04:23:42.159
with his frown somewhat frowned. You
didn' t have to lie to me.

3008
04:23:44.319 --> 04:23:48.399
She grinned and looked at her feet
again. Take a step, drag?

3009
04:23:48.360 --> 04:23:53.000
Take a step, drag? Take
a step, drag? You wanted

3010
04:23:55.120 --> 04:23:59.040
to like it wasn' t a
question, but she held her breath like

3011
04:23:59.079 --> 04:24:03.920
she was waiting for him to answer
at the time. He stopped in front

3012
04:24:03.040 --> 04:24:08.200
of a simple one- storey building
built of glass and red brick. It

3013
04:24:08.319 --> 04:24:14.639
is here at the reception a woman
with short grey hair, dressed in a

3014
04:24:14.760 --> 04:24:22.440
suit. Welcome to the alumni house
where I can help you. Esme moistened

3015
04:24:22.520 --> 04:24:26.959
her lips and took the photograph of
her purse as she struggled to express her

3016
04:24:26.040 --> 04:24:33.559
thoughts in English. I' m
looking for a man. This man twenty

3017
04:24:33.360 --> 04:24:37.959
- four years ago. I'
m sorry. Here we organize events for

3018
04:24:38.000 --> 04:24:44.639
alumni. You' ll have to
talk to someone else if you' re

3019
04:24:44.680 --> 04:24:47.639
looking for a particular ex- student
you' ve tried.“ At the

3020
04:24:47.719 --> 04:24:52.520
admissions office,” the woman asked,“ we came from there,”

3021
04:24:52.520 --> 04:24:56.680
Calette replied. I see the woman
frowned and after a second rushed to her

3022
04:24:57.079 --> 04:25:03.239
desk. He took a business card
from one of the drawers and handed it

3023
04:25:03.319 --> 04:25:11.840
to Esme. This woman is in
charge of the Alumni Association. Try calling

3024
04:25:11.840 --> 04:25:17.959
her. I don' t know
if he can help you, but there

3025
04:25:17.959 --> 04:25:19.920
' s someone who can do it. It' s Esme. He tried

3026
04:25:19.920 --> 04:25:26.879
to smile, but his lips refused
to cooperate. Thank you, both remained

3027
04:25:26.959 --> 04:25:32.399
silent as they walked the short distance
back to the car. Someone had slipped

3028
04:25:32.520 --> 04:25:36.680
a yellow paper under one of the
breeze cleaners Calette took it and read it.

3029
04:25:37.200 --> 04:25:41.559
She got to read parking ticket on
the paper before he kept it in

3030
04:25:41.600 --> 04:25:45.239
his pocket and saw clearly that right
in front of the car there was a

3031
04:25:45.319 --> 04:25:52.920
big sign praying not to park without
permission. He had intentionally parked and I

3032
04:25:52.040 --> 04:25:57.639
knew he had done it for her
because of her ankle. It was a

3033
04:25:57.719 --> 04:26:03.000
small detail, but she didn'
t know anyone else who would have done

3034
04:26:03.159 --> 04:26:08.360
something like that for her alone Calette. He left the parking lot drove through

3035
04:26:08.440 --> 04:26:12.840
the field. If she joined the
main road, she watched as she moved

3036
04:26:12.959 --> 04:26:18.159
through the afternoon traffic as a fugitive
driver after a heist to a fast bank,

3037
04:26:18.479 --> 04:26:23.840
but maintaining perfect control. Her hands
looked strong and skillful on the steering

3038
04:26:23.959 --> 04:26:27.719
wheel and lever of change, and
she remembered how he had touched them just

3039
04:26:27.879 --> 04:26:36.680
a while before on the face,
lips, jaw. I' d like

3040
04:26:36.680 --> 04:26:40.479
to pet her again. Now that
I knew she was a liar. I

3041
04:26:40.559 --> 04:26:42.360
' d like to pet her again
if I found out she had a daughter.

3042
04:26:44.319 --> 04:26:48.159
When we get home Medas, that
card is worth saying it unexpectedly.

3043
04:26:48.840 --> 04:26:53.680
I want to call that woman from
the Alumni Association. Calette' s words

3044
04:26:53.760 --> 04:26:59.360
were so discordant with his own thoughts
that it took him a moment to understand

3045
04:26:59.360 --> 04:27:03.520
what he was. I was saying
you' d call her for me with

3046
04:27:03.600 --> 04:27:10.079
your eyes on the road. He
answered clearly and I' ll let you

3047
04:27:10.159 --> 04:27:12.920
know if you give me any useful
information. She felt like a weight she

3048
04:27:14.040 --> 04:27:17.120
didn' t know she was carrying. He was rising from his shoulders and

3049
04:27:17.239 --> 04:27:22.360
gratitude grew inside him. For someone
who generally had no touch, he could

3050
04:27:22.479 --> 04:27:26.399
be very considerate in a surprising way
when it was necessary. She took the

3051
04:27:26.520 --> 04:27:32.040
card from her purse and placed it
on the board. Thank you, Anne,

3052
04:27:33.120 --> 04:27:37.079
He nodded and focused on driving again. When they got home, he

3053
04:27:37.159 --> 04:27:41.360
parked the car, but he didn' t turn off the engine. Her

3054
04:27:41.520 --> 04:27:47.399
fingers stopped before she unbuttoned her seatbelt. You attend classes at night.“

3055
04:27:48.479 --> 04:27:52.760
Right,” Calette asked. She
turned around in the seat. That'

3056
04:27:53.879 --> 04:27:57.639
s how you want me to pick
you up from now on. That'

3057
04:27:57.760 --> 04:28:03.719
s how you avoid taking the bus. You don' t care, I

3058
04:28:03.719 --> 04:28:06.760
don' t care. He answered
a lot. Thank you, Anne.

3059
04:28:07.680 --> 04:28:10.479
He felt it once and got out
of the car and she followed him.

3060
04:28:10.520 --> 04:28:14.120
As he walked toward the entrance and
opened the front door of the house.

3061
04:28:15.239 --> 04:28:18.200
She thought he' d kiss her
at the time, but she just kept

3062
04:28:18.280 --> 04:28:22.479
the door open for her. Instead
of going through it directly. Esme stopped

3063
04:28:22.559 --> 04:28:27.879
in front of him inviting him to
continue what had been interrupted earlier. The

3064
04:28:27.920 --> 04:28:34.440
anticipation grew inside her and her lungs
held her breath. Even his heart stopped

3065
04:28:34.520 --> 04:28:41.600
beating. Kiss me, kiss me. His gaze fell on his lips and

3066
04:28:41.639 --> 04:28:47.879
her lips tickled as if he had
touched them. Yeah, he was about

3067
04:28:47.959 --> 04:28:52.639
to get warmed up, took a
step back, sidetracked her look and said

3068
04:28:52.719 --> 04:28:56.799
I' m gonna go work a
little at the office. I' ll

3069
04:28:56.920 --> 04:29:00.079
see you later. Esme' s
chest deflated and she watched him take the

3070
04:29:00.159 --> 04:29:07.559
bag from his laptop and return to
the car. He had wanted to kiss

3071
04:29:07.600 --> 04:29:12.280
her before she found out about everything, but not anymore. He had done

3072
04:29:12.360 --> 04:29:17.879
all those things to show up in
the doctor' s office, to hold

3073
04:29:18.000 --> 04:29:22.360
her hair cut with Esme the accountant, but he wasn' t interested in

3074
04:29:23.760 --> 04:29:29.719
the real thing. Fourteen the following
week, Kay pretended that the almost kiss

3075
04:29:29.840 --> 04:29:34.079
had never happened. Esme' s
Russian friend had saved him from making a

3076
04:29:34.159 --> 04:29:38.959
serious mistake at a time of lack
of common sense. Maybe Esme was able

3077
04:29:40.040 --> 04:29:44.200
to have a physical relationship without any
adverse effects, but he didn' t

3078
04:29:44.280 --> 04:29:48.120
think he had that ability. She
was already a song repeated endlessly in her

3079
04:29:48.200 --> 04:29:53.920
head. If I started having sex
with her, that thing would climb into

3080
04:29:55.040 --> 04:29:59.079
a pure addiction. And what the
hell would happen when she left at the

3081
04:29:59.200 --> 04:30:03.159
end of the summer. If I
didn' t want to find out,

3082
04:30:03.680 --> 04:30:07.360
I had to keep my distance.
He managed to do it spectacularly until Friday

3083
04:30:07.479 --> 04:30:11.479
afternoon, when he came to attend
the second wedding of the summer, He

3084
04:30:11.440 --> 04:30:15.079
knocked on his door and she opened
it with the outline of a smile on

3085
04:30:15.200 --> 04:30:22.719
her face. For a long time, she just looked at her esme didn

3086
04:30:22.840 --> 04:30:30.760
' t look like she was wearing
a black dress, didn' t she

3087
04:30:30.840 --> 04:30:34.959
say it was a sad color.
He would fall loose on the body and

3088
04:30:36.040 --> 04:30:41.440
hide any interesting part and fuck all
those jewels or his ears, neck and

3089
04:30:41.520 --> 04:30:45.360
hands flashed there. It' d
be a hundred bucks in silconite. It

3090
04:30:45.440 --> 04:30:49.639
was not possible that they were real
diamonds. She was still very pretty.

3091
04:30:51.680 --> 04:30:56.440
His makeup was subtle, except for
the black liner that highlighted his green eyes

3092
04:30:56.559 --> 04:31:03.319
and the red blood lipstick God.
Those lips painted that way were enough for

3093
04:31:03.399 --> 04:31:07.719
him to feel dumb. Since I
almost kissed her. He' d been

3094
04:31:07.840 --> 04:31:11.879
watching his mouth every time he closed
his eyes. During the previous week,

3095
04:31:12.239 --> 04:31:18.120
he had done unimaginable things to that
mouth. In his mind, Kai cleared

3096
04:31:18.200 --> 04:31:23.280
his throat You' re ready.
She straightened her shoulders and lifted her chin

3097
04:31:25.319 --> 04:31:29.120
I' m ready. They got
out of the house and got in the

3098
04:31:29.120 --> 04:31:33.760
car. As soon as they joined
the highway one hundred one that towards San

3099
04:31:33.760 --> 04:31:37.840
Jose. He broke the silence and
said I called the Berkeley Alumni Association and

3100
04:31:37.920 --> 04:31:41.719
they gave me a list of all
the ugly people who attended there during the

3101
04:31:41.840 --> 04:31:47.120
decade before your birth. She squealed
and covered her mouth as she danced in

3102
04:31:47.159 --> 04:31:51.600
her seat. His movements made the
hem loose in his skirt, slid up

3103
04:31:51.719 --> 04:31:56.959
and demons it was as if rule
number six had ceased to exist. There

3104
04:31:57.040 --> 04:32:02.360
was no way he would comply.
When it came to esme, the desire

3105
04:32:02.399 --> 04:32:06.159
to touch her was so intense that
her hands clung fiercely behind the wheel.

3106
04:32:07.159 --> 04:32:11.920
I could almost see his fingers caressing
those bare thighs and sliding under that dull

3107
04:32:11.040 --> 04:32:17.680
loose dress. The panties of his
pants became uncomfortably tense and distracted him from

3108
04:32:17.799 --> 04:32:26.520
his pornographic thoughts. Shit was having
an erection in his damn car. I

3109
04:32:26.639 --> 04:32:32.159
did run into a bump. He' d split his penis in half.

3110
04:32:33.319 --> 04:32:37.239
I needed to think about the desert
in the Arctic. Statement number one hundred

3111
04:32:37.360 --> 04:32:41.959
and fifty- seven of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board. On anything else,

3112
04:32:42.760 --> 04:32:49.559
how many names are on the list, she asked. Right, the list.

3113
04:32:51.760 --> 04:32:56.760
Almost a thousand ah is frowned at
me in her thoughts and distracted her

3114
04:32:56.840 --> 04:33:00.799
hands over her thighs, in a
way that did not help Kai' s

3115
04:33:00.920 --> 04:33:06.240
present state at all. A friend
of Wan' s is helping me check

3116
04:33:06.360 --> 04:33:10.759
the list. He says it'
s an easy thing to do if you

3117
04:33:10.759 --> 04:33:15.040
have the right software. He said
I' ll need a copy of that

3118
04:33:15.040 --> 04:33:18.000
photograph you have. That' s
very expensive. Esme asked with hesitation.

3119
04:33:19.080 --> 04:33:25.599
He' s not doing it as
a favor to Wan It' s wonderful.

3120
04:33:26.680 --> 04:33:30.680
He dedicated one of his typicals to
her. Exultant smiles. I'

3121
04:33:30.720 --> 04:33:36.040
ll give it to you when we
get home tonight You can thank your brother

3122
04:33:37.040 --> 04:33:41.159
for me. You' ll be
at the wedding yourself. Oh, well,

3123
04:33:42.439 --> 04:33:45.840
I will. He passed a hand
through his hair and straightened his dress

3124
04:33:45.919 --> 04:33:52.080
over his thighs. Now I'
m nervous. He admitted to a nervous

3125
04:33:52.240 --> 04:33:59.159
giggle about meeting Wan. She bowed
her head. He' s your big

3126
04:33:59.159 --> 04:34:06.400
brother. He wants to like me. Kai shrugged. You will. He

3127
04:34:06.479 --> 04:34:14.759
likes everyone and everyone liked Wan.
He had a unique charisma, unlike Kai,

3128
04:34:15.040 --> 04:34:18.919
who lived making mistakes and making people
cry everywhere that I hope he didn

3129
04:34:19.000 --> 04:34:25.680
' t seem completely convinced, but
Kay knew she had nothing to worry about.

3130
04:34:27.959 --> 04:34:32.799
After driving half an hour to San
Jose he fell in front of a

3131
04:34:32.880 --> 04:34:37.200
large two- storey restaurant called sful
Toisa, a giant neon crab and Chinese

3132
04:34:37.319 --> 04:34:42.720
letters flashed over the roof. It
was his mother' s favorite restaurant and

3133
04:34:42.759 --> 04:34:49.439
he had been there countless times over
the years. It is here announced both

3134
04:34:49.520 --> 04:34:56.119
the ceremony and the reception will be
held here. For some people there was

3135
04:34:56.279 --> 04:35:00.959
nothing like lobster in scallion sauce and
ginger to say happy is forever. Esme

3136
04:35:02.040 --> 04:35:06.520
stared at the restaurant for a long
time. Before asking is good food Kai

3137
04:35:06.599 --> 04:35:15.479
shrugged. If you like Chinese food
and jellyfish, she asked with interest.

3138
04:35:17.599 --> 04:35:22.360
He raised his eyebrows. Jellyfish are
those sea creatures that sting you with many

3139
04:35:22.400 --> 04:35:30.880
tentacles. He moved his fingers to
imitate them. They have a rare texture

3140
04:35:30.000 --> 04:35:36.040
and have no flavor. Esme crossed
her arms. I know what jellyfish are

3141
04:35:36.119 --> 04:35:44.000
and if they taste, he suddenly
understood. You' re excited about jellyfish.

3142
04:35:45.240 --> 04:35:48.720
They' re very good. You
weren' t so excited about the

3143
04:35:48.840 --> 04:35:53.959
San Francisco hermonts considering the price and
exclusivity of the place. Most would be

3144
04:35:55.040 --> 04:35:59.959
much more impressed by the Fairmont.
And Kai couldn' t help but feel

3145
04:36:00.159 --> 04:36:03.680
fun and enchanted by Esme' s
enthusiasm for cifo and tuasa. She lifted

3146
04:36:03.840 --> 04:36:10.400
her shoulder and smiled I like good
food. Then let' s go in.

3147
04:36:11.520 --> 04:36:15.479
I think you' ll be very
happy to cross the parking lot.

3148
04:36:15.959 --> 04:36:19.959
It received an intense smell of fat
and rancid. Yeah, he knew that

3149
04:36:21.080 --> 04:36:26.279
place, but was it different with
esme? By his side, everything was

3150
04:36:26.360 --> 04:36:33.000
different with esme. She didn'
t need him to open and close doors

3151
04:36:33.000 --> 04:36:34.880
for her. I didn' t
want him to pay for everything or carry

3152
04:36:34.959 --> 04:36:37.919
his stuff. He didn' t
care if he watched her all day.

3153
04:36:38.919 --> 04:36:44.040
She reached out to take him by
the arm, but stopped before touching him.

3154
04:36:45.040 --> 04:36:48.720
You don' t like that.
He bowed my pensive head and then

3155
04:36:48.840 --> 04:36:53.880
a smile was drawn on his lips, took a few steps to get ahead

3156
04:36:53.959 --> 04:36:59.279
of him and leaned one hand on
the bottom of his own back. Sometimes

3157
04:36:59.319 --> 04:37:04.720
they are put their hands here when
they are walking or just standing. If

3158
04:37:04.840 --> 04:37:07.439
you do that, the girls won' t take you by the arm.

3159
04:37:08.400 --> 04:37:11.599
Key was about to tell him that
he didn' t care that she held

3160
04:37:11.680 --> 04:37:18.319
him by the flat arm, but
he held the words needed more distance,

3161
04:37:18.880 --> 04:37:27.479
no less try You might prefer to
watch him over the shoulder Esme stood still

3162
04:37:27.599 --> 04:37:33.799
and waited for that was ridiculous,
but he obeyed likewise after he wished not

3163
04:37:33.799 --> 04:37:38.400
to. Seeing her wide hand leaning
on her lower back caused her things.

3164
04:37:41.319 --> 04:37:48.240
His spine had a most elegant curvature, especially in that area, and an

3165
04:37:48.240 --> 04:37:53.119
elemental part of it was moved while
he claimed it for himself. For him,

3166
04:37:55.200 --> 04:38:00.360
she smiled at him for a second
before continuing to walk towards the restaurant

3167
04:38:00.439 --> 04:38:03.759
with her hand there inn. Cay
was painfully aware of how she swinged her

3168
04:38:03.840 --> 04:38:10.880
hips as she walked. Why she
was so sexy in the driveway. They

3169
04:38:10.919 --> 04:38:15.000
passed by giant fish bowls that housed
lobsters, crabs, and fish that looked

3170
04:38:15.000 --> 04:38:18.599
down, and entered the table sector
on the ground floor of the restaurant.

3171
04:38:19.639 --> 04:38:25.520
All the chairs were empty and a
receptionist carrying a blue pen tucked in her

3172
04:38:25.599 --> 04:38:29.520
hair led them to one of the
two spiral stairs leading to the second floor.

3173
04:38:30.279 --> 04:38:34.520
As they went up, they looked
for the table that they had been

3174
04:38:34.599 --> 04:38:37.040
assigned and went through the maze of
round tables. Kay discovered that holding his

3175
04:38:37.119 --> 04:38:45.040
hand on the lower back of esme
had become something natural to him. The

3176
04:38:45.119 --> 04:38:49.439
warmth of her skin pierced the fabric
of her dress and warmed her palm.

3177
04:38:51.479 --> 04:38:55.880
When they came to their place,
Kai spotted family shoulders and a shaved head.

3178
04:38:56.880 --> 04:39:00.720
Quan c turned areÓ Nr.
He stood up suddenly to give the

3179
04:39:00.880 --> 04:39:07.639
street a strong hug look at you. Juan leaned a hand on Cale'

3180
04:39:07.759 --> 04:39:12.799
s head and rubbed her hair freshly
cut. I like your new lup Thank

3181
04:39:12.799 --> 04:39:18.319
you. Kay pulled her brother'
s hand away from a push and backed

3182
04:39:18.400 --> 04:39:23.000
back, so here it is.
John Kai said he repressed the strange urge

3183
04:39:23.080 --> 04:39:27.680
to circle Esme' s waist with
his arm, but instead of bringing her

3184
04:39:27.799 --> 04:39:32.560
closer to him as he really wanted, he stepped back to get away from

3185
04:39:32.560 --> 04:39:37.959
her. Esme. This is my
brother Juan Juan Esme. John observed the

3186
04:39:38.040 --> 04:39:42.799
distance between Cai and Esme with a
thoughtful expression on his face. Esme rubbed

3187
04:39:42.880 --> 04:39:49.520
her elbow before giving her a hi
smile. Anuan, when his brother sketched

3188
04:39:49.639 --> 04:39:55.159
a broad smile. Key did not
manage to relax as expected, but her

3189
04:39:55.200 --> 04:40:00.479
muscles tightened and watched esme' s
reaction trying to interpret it. I didn

3190
04:40:00.560 --> 04:40:03.360
' t know what I was looking
for or what I wanted, but I

3191
04:40:03.520 --> 04:40:04.200
felt that moment was important.
