What If She Doesn't Even Know

As Marilena gets ready for work, her phone rings, and Rafael's name lights up the screen. A mix of emotions invades her thoughts. She stares at the phone, reflecting on the night before and the connection that is now unfolding.

"Should I answer?" She asks herself mentally. Memories of last night's tumultuous events resurface, creating palpable hesitation. She remembers the moments of tension, the meeting with Rafael in the hotel corridor, the words spoken and unspoken.

A sigh escapes her lips as she ponders the implications of answering or ignoring the call. The dilemma between facing the situation head on and preserving her inner peace seems to unfold before her.

On the other side, Rafael, upon seeing the call cancelled, feels a mixture of frustration and understanding. He imagines Marilena, facing her own reflections and uncertainties.
