Chapter 80

Jared stroked Julia's hair, hoping her emotions would ease.

And after a while, he asks:

—Would you be ready to be by my side if I were elected?

Júlia moves away and looks at him curiously, without answering his question. She just returns with another question:

—Wouldn't you be embarrassed to take photos with a chubby girl? You know, I don't think I've ever seen a politician who had a fat partner...

Julia lowers her head, as she always thought less of herself because of her appearance:

Jared grabs her chin, lifting it and making her face him.

— I think I'm really going to have to win this election thing, right? — he says with a serious and determined expression — Maybe only then will I be able to prove to you that you are important to me. I don't care about other politicians, Júlia! I just know that I want an intelligent, strong and beautiful woman by my side.
