Inside a hug

I don't know how long that hug lasted. Feeling Sandra's arms and Tiago's arms welcoming me helped me feel innocent. I know that Bete will now pay for what she did, no matter what. For me, feeling welcomed by the people I love is the best way to start over. It wasn't just a hug. It was the hope of a better life that was reappearing in my life. I have the people I love by my side.

What did Sandra's father think of her being there by my side? I thought suddenly. Now he must be desperate, yet another scandal would take over his newspaper, “Verdade Maranhense”. In little more than three months, he was the second editor-in-chief of his newspaper to be involved in a serious controversy, which would certainly be news all over Brazil. Yes, he really didn't have time to worry about what his daughter was doing; he would be more busy figuring out how to deal with the scandal that was beginning.
