The days that followed the banquet were marked by a fragile balance within Elisa and Eduardo's routine. On the outside, life seemed to follow its course: business meetings, exams for the advancing pregnancy, preparations for the arrival of the twins. But beneath this apparent normalcy, there was a tension that Eduardo couldn't ignore... and it had a name: Sophia.
She appeared in a calculated way, almost imperceptibly, as if fate was placing the two women side by side "by chance." At the foundation's charity coffee event, for example, Sophia showed up discreetly, wearing a light-colored outfit and a sweet smile, offering to help with the organization.
Elisa, you need to sit down, you're pale... she said, with such convincing concern that even Eduardo felt internally irritated. Let me coordinate this part. You need to take care of yourself... and the babies.
Elisa smiled, touching her belly. Thank you, Sophia. You didn't have to, but it's kind of you.
