Tamara woke up and didn't see Irene in bed. She got up and went to find her. She heard voices in the kitchen and approached.

-Good morning, love. - Irene said.

-Good morning. - Tamara said.

-Good morning sister. - Gaia said - Did you sleep well?

-Yes, I slept. - She looked suspiciously - Why are you so happy?

-Is...

-Let me talk to your sister, Gaia. - Irene said - You can go get ready for your class.

-It's good. Thanks, Irene.

-You're welcome.

-I don't like it at all when you two keep secrets.

-Quiet, love. - She kissed Tamara- You will know what it is about.

-Say it Irene.

-So, remember that boy we met in Malaga?

-The guy, Marcos? - Irene agreed - I know, what about him?

-He's coming here for dinner on Sunday.

-What?

-Yes, love. That is what you are thinking. He and your sister are dating and he said he wanted to do everything right. But, since your mother is not here...

-Irene, tells me you didn't know that.

-I cannot. Sorry, love. But I've known about it for about three months.

-What? - Tamara got up from the table.

-Quiet, love.

-You want me to stay calm, how? Did you keep this from me all this time?

-Tam, we hid it because I knew you were going to be like this. Look how nervous you are.

-Because I didn't like that. Not even the secret; much less be the last to know.

-That's not the way, Tam. What's wrong with that?

-I thought there would be no more secrets between us. But I apparently was wrong.

-Tam, I just wanted to avoid unnecessary stress. Sorry.

-Goodbye, Irene. - Tamara took the car key.

-Love, where are you going?

-I dont know. Over there.

-It's good. But you come back, right?

Tamara left without answering and Irene stayed crying.

-What is it, Irene? - Gaia entered the room and saw Irene crying.

-Your sister didn't like hearing about our secret. I think she felt betrayed. And now I do not know what to do.

-Irene, I'm sorry. I didn't want to cause this mess.

-All good. It is not your fault. The decision not to tell her was mine.

-I wanted to do something to help.

-Go to your course. So we solve this, don't worry.

-I'd better cancel with Marcos, right?

-I think it's better to save it for another day, yes.

-All good. I talk to him. - She hugged Irene - Are well, okay?

-Thank you.

When it was almost time to pick up Alex from school, Irene was changing Ruth's clothes and Tamara texted her:
