8 - Did It Work?

They spent practically the entire night talking. They couldn’t deny that they enjoyed each other's company. Loise had her moments of playfulness mixed with seriousness, while Gustavo and Cecília occasionally let out random smiles, enjoying the familiar vibe surrounding them. This arrangement was working out, at least for now. Today would be the test.

After Gustavo picked up Cecília and Loise from their apartment, he had already arranged with the moving company to take their essential belongings, such as clothes, personal items, and photos. Only the furniture would remain there, and they would close the apartment shortly after. Gustavo didn’t want Cecília and Loise to sell the apartment because he wanted them to have something that still reminded them of their past.

Gustavo: "So… Ready for a shopping spree?" - He asked as they arrived at the mall before getting out of the car.

Loise: "Not ready, but here we are." - Loise responded.
