CRASH!
The cups fell to the ground and shattered into a thousand pieces.
At that moment, Camila’s necklace slipped out from under the uniform.
At the same time, Dona Isabela’s eyes stopped on the pendant.
The world around him seemed to disappear.
The sound of the piano, the murmur of the guests, the clinking of the cutlery, everything became distant, as if it had been swallowed up by a strange and heavy silence.
She took a step forward, her face completely pale.
“That necklace…” his voice came out broken for the first time in many years. “That necklace belonged to my daughter!”
The whole hall froze.
Camila, frightened, put her hand to her neck out of pure instinct, as if she wanted to hide the pendant back under her uniform.
Dona Isabela got closer, her eyes fixed on the small golden crescent moon that trembled over the young woman’s chest.
“Turn this over.” Now.
Camila’s hands trembled so much that she could barely obey. When he turned the necklace over, the inscription appeared, still intact despite the weather:
“I&L Forever”
A collective sigh ran through the hall.
Dona Isabela put her hand to her mouth. His eyes, always so hard, filled with tears in an almost unrecognizable way.
