the moment he was living alongside Ana.Pb: Sentiu-se corajoso, seguro de que havia feito a escolha certa.En: He felt brave, sure that he had made the right choice.Pb: E assim, sob o céu azul do outono

sound of the waves of Ipanema, Lucas learned that authenticity and a sincere display of feelings were worth more than any flashy accessory.
