body. The proximity was driving him out of
his mind and Amanda did not need such an attitude from him at that time. - When
you want to undo the marriage, we will arrange that. Regarding sex I would
never ask you something that you would not be willing to give. - She heard in
shame just to imagine such a thing. The possibility of having a sexual
relationship with him seemed distant but the spoken word gave her a thrill.
    - I know you would not do
that, but I'm afraid that our friendship might be shaken. - Amanda explained.
    - You will not lose my
friendship and I'm pretty strong to know what is best for me, do not worry
about me. - Antônio seemed self-confident.
    - I do not believe it can
be as easy as you make it sound Antônio. - She doubted, mourning.
    - It does not hurt to try,
does it? - He asked.
    - All right. I promise
I'll think about it, but still do not believe it is the best option, although I
have no other. - Her time was closing in and she would have to decide what to
do sooner or later. At that moment she just wanted some peace and nothing else.
    - In the evening we’ll
talk some more about this. - He finished. - Now let’s go and I’ll drop you
home.

Chapter
II
     
    - Hello my love. Are you
ok? - asked Amanda when she heard her son's voice.
    - I'm fine, Mom - he
answered with his child's voice. - I did not call you earlier because grandpa
took me to see a colt that had just been born. It is very beautiful Mom. - Her
son had great chances of being a veterinarian; he really did love animals. Amanda
smiled as she remembered the time when they found a stray starving and sick. The
child did not leave her alone until they took the little fellow to the vet and
left it there to be taken care of and then adopted. If they lived in a house
she knew she'd be have lots of cats, dogs, parrots and all he wanted to take
care of.  
    - OK, my love. - She was
more excited than usual talking to her son. Maybe it was the latest events. -
How are the holidays? she wanted to know.
    - I'm really having fun. -
Amanda heard knowing he would tell her all the details of the farm and was
happy to have more time with her son. The excited child described everything in
detail and only stopped when his grandmother said she wanted to talk to his mother.
    - My grandmother wants to
talk to you, mother – he said after narrating his story.
    - My darling, take care
yeah, big kiss. - Amanda said goodbye to her son, as he handed over the phone
to his grandmother and went chasing more adventures to tell her at their next phone
call.
    - How are you my daughter?
- Her mother asked when she picked up the handset.
    - A little tired mother,
but I’m okay – she said trying to keep her voice natural.
    - Is there a problem
child? - Rebeca wanted to know, realizing that there was something wrong with
her daughter.
    - That sixth sense that
mothers have is really incomprehensible. - Amanda smiled embarrassed. - It’s
Breno, mother. He's been here for two weeks now and I haven’t told you because
I did not wish to worry you. - there was a brief pause.
    - You do not intend to go
back living with him, right, my daughter? - Rebeca asked worriedly. - After all
you've been through, seeing him in search for adventures and leaving you with
no means. That man does not deserve women like you - completed the lady.
    - Do not worry Mom; I do
not intend to be with him again. - Amanda was sure of what she said; she would
not change her position. She was not alone, helpless, as she had been when
Breno left. There were people at her side helping her move on. Smiling, she
remembered Antônio, her guardian angel. A unique friend who, thanks to Breno’s
indifference, appeared in her and Lucas’s life bringing new colors to them.
    - Amanda, why don’t you go
out with other men? - asked her mother to her surprise.
    - I do not feel prepared
to start again, mother. Moreover, I'm always busy and when I have some time off
I prefer to use it on my son. - She defended
