Episode 13

Victor is standing at the bedroom door when Nina comes out...

Nina: Victor, is everything okay?

Victor: Yeah, I just wanted some water...

Nina: I'll grab some for myself and bring you a bottle too, I'll be right back...

Nina gets the water and goes back to the room...

Nina: Can't sleep? You haven't changed your clothes yet, do you need help?

Victor: I just really wanted some water, now I can get up and do some things, I just can't strain myself yet...

Nina: That's good, lie down then. I'll give you a foot massage so you can sleep...

Victor: Don't even think about it, no need...

Nina: I've done it several times, stop being embarrassed...

Victor: But it's different now...

Nina: Why would it be?

Victor: Better not...

Nina: Okay, I wanted to help you, but I understand you don't want it, good night...

She says as she's leaving, he takes her hand.

Victor: I'm so sorry, this will pass...

Nina: This what will pass?

Victor: My embarrassment...

Nina: I liked taking care of you...

Victor: I know...

Nina: Kisses his hand and says: Good night.

Victor: Will you have breakfast at the table tomorrow?

Nina: I promise...

Nina goes to her room with her heart in her hand...

Nina: 💭 Oh my God, is he in love with me?

Is it possible he heard what I was saying?

Oh my God, I'm so silly...

He seems to be very calm, he wasn't like that before...

What an allergy, I can't claim victory yet, Elisa used to be the love of his life...

The next morning...

Nina wakes up early and helps Maria prepare coffee...

Maria: Honey, you don't need to help me, no.

Nina: I like to help.

Maria: You are Victor, how are you?

Nina: Oh, we've talked a few times...

Maria: That's good, he's different...

Nina: I thought so too.

Maria: You like him, don't you, dear?

Nina: Yes Maria, he's embarrassed because I took care of him in that state, bathing him, changing him, those things...

Maria: How silly... that's a sign of love...

Nina: Mariaaa...

Maria: Yes, I think so...

Cecilia enters the kitchen...

Good morning my loves...

Good morning they say cheerfully...

Maria: Nina made coffee today...

Rodolfo: Good, Victor drinks about two bottles hahaha

Victor: I heard my name here, is everything alright?

Cecilia: Your father says you drink a lot of coffee...

Victor: I love coffee...

Maria: Sit down.

They help themselves and Victor drinks so much coffee it's scary...

Victor: Maria, your coffee today is better than ever, it's addictive... it's better than yesterday's hahaha

Maria: Oh, Nina made it today...

Victor: Hmm, you are incredible, you know how to make such good coffee, among other qualities...

Nina blushes...

Rodolfo: I knew your anger before was passion hahaha

Cecilia: Rodolfo shut up, stop it.

Nina: Uncle, are you going to the orphanage today?

She says changing the subject...

Rodolfo: I'm going to see Victor...

Nina: Oh, I'm going to buy some things for him...

Cecilia: Are you going alone?

Nina: Aunt Carla is going, Sabrina too...

Cecilia: I'm going too... I want to buy a present for him, for other children too, otherwise they'll be sad...

Victor: I'm going to the company and then I'll come home... I have a meeting with Otavio here tonight...

Nina, I want you by my side...

Nina: Me? But I have class, will my presence be necessary?

Victor: Don't worry, I'm here!

He says looking into her eyes...

Nina: Okay...

She says and walks away...

Nina: I'm going to change, auntie, we're leaving...
