Two days had passed since what had happened in the new town, but Lucia and Gastone remained in silent treatment.
Lucia hadn't talked to Gastone after being unable to gain enough courage to apologize and tell him about her plan to live independently.
Gastone was only waiting for Lucia to speak to him since he was hurt at how she escaped without a word and it hurt his ego. For him, he had done his best for her, but it all seemed worthless.
Jorge and Navin continued their 'job' as workers, but they increased their security for Lucia in case she repeated things again.
"I can't take this anymore. It's suffocating!" Lucia shouted in frustration. She wanted it to be cleared as fast as possible. She gathered enough strength to stride toward Gastone's room to confront him.
Lucia didn't knock and opened the door, but no one was there.
