Chapter 27

• "Yes, I feel like you treated me poorly just because I was a waitress and now a cleaner," the words get stuck in my throat and tears want to come out, but I push them away, failing in the attempt. "You don't know how many times I've seen my mother crying because some people treat her badly. They always end up humiliating her just because she's a cleaning lady. And I feel like you're doing the same to me..."
• "You're wrong, I'm angry at myself for being like that with you. At first, I thought you recognized me, but then, too late, I realized that you had no idea who I was and I was about to give up and just maintain a teacher-student relationship. But then you showed a little jealousy earlier in the office, and that gave me hope."
• Tears leave my eyes and dissolve among the clothes falling over my breasts.
