The next day, in the morning, Irene woke up and Tamara was not in bed. She went to the bathroom, put on her robe, and went downstairs to the kitchen. When she got there, she found Tamara drinking coffee.

-Good morning. - Irene said.

-Good morning. - Tamara answered half dry.

-What a good smell. Have you made coffee now?

-Yes. In the coffee maker there are more, you can help yourself.

-OKAY. - Irene served herself and sat next to Tamara - Are you going to continue angry with me?

-Until you give me a good explanation of why you disappeared.

-Then okay. Let's go there. I was with Arthur, the new actor on the series.

-Doing what? Could know?

-He asked me to help him buy a gift for his girlfriend.

-Oh, sure.

-It's true. We went to the mall and I helped him choose.

-Do you know the bride?

-I have no idea who it is.

-And how can you choose?

-He said she looked like me; she was pretty much the same measurements.

-Coincidence, right?

-Yes, many.

-And did it take so long to choose? Until the mall closes?

-It was not very easy and, when we saw it, it was time to close. Then he invited me to eat somewhere else, because we were hungry.

-You better stop there. - Tamara got up from the table - I don't need to know more.

-Tam, listens to me. Nothing happened.

Tamara went upstairs and into the studio. She knew that Irene would not go in there. She put on her headphones and tried to forget everything at work. But, she did not make much progress. Meanwhile, Irene decided to give Tamara the time she needed to think. She knew she didn't like being interrupted when she was in the studio. She showered and then sat in the living room reading a book, but she couldn't focus.

Tamara then left the study and headed for the kitchen. Only when she returned did she see that Irene was in the room.

-Can you hear me now? - Irene asked.

-I prefer not to know the details. I just want to know why.

-Why what, Tamara?

-Why would you rather be with this boy than be with your family?

-I didn't choose between him and the family. I just wanted to be nice, I helped with the gift, he invited me to a thank you dinner and that was it. Only that. Trust me.

-It's hard enough to believe. You've known this guy for a short time, you don't know the girlfriend, and you offer to help.

-I didn't volunteer! - Irene shouted - Stop distorting things.

The intercom rang and the maid arrived with a package in her hand.

-Mrs. Irene, it's for the lady.

-Thanks. - Irene took the package, intrigued - How strange. It seems ... - She looked at Tamara and was silent - I'll open it later. Do you want to end the conversation?

-I have nothing else to say. You can open your gift. By your face, you should know whose it is.

-It must be something of merchandising, to publicize. Nothing special.
