Chapter 55

Helena had graduated and was now practicing law at a law firm in São Paulo. A year had passed, and her life had taken a path that many would consider successful. She was advancing in her career, spending time with Lucia, and trying to move forward, but there was something that always bothered her, a persistent sense of emptiness that seemed not to go away. She wondered if law was really the path she wanted to pursue. Every day was a struggle to find motivation and passion for what she did.

Eduardo looked up when Helena entered his office, a gentle smile lighting up his face. “What can I do for you, Helena?”
