it?”
“ I'm not happy ...”
“ I want to see you tomorrow. What time is better for you?”
“ We can have lunch, what do you think?”
“ Perfect, see you tomorrow. At 13hs.”
The next day Flavio meeting Isadora in front of the building. She was thin, haggard and with a sad smiling. She entered in the car, hugged Flavio and went to a quiet restaurant where they could talk. Flavio began to question about the reason that situation.
“ I need that you to be honest with me, so I can help you!”
“ I don´t know what's going on, I can´t paint, and nothing that I do seems pretty or good enough ...”
“ You are a great artist! And with a great self esteem. Where is this woman? Where's the sparkle in your eyes?”
“ I can´t paint.”
“ What Mark is doing with you? Where is he?”
“ He is in Rio...”
“ You are not feeling good, is not it?”
“ I think I made a mistake ... everything that I do, not seems good, and I can not seem to be good enough. It's killing me...”
“ I can see in your face! You are suffering.”
“ I'm not happy. And worst of all is that I can not free myself from this relationship, I know that I need leave that house, but, I am powerless, and without money.”
“ Do you need money? I can lending for you. Get out of that house now!”
“ I can´t go today, but first, I need discover somethings”.
“ I don´t recognize you anymore. You have not created anything, do not expose their pictures, do not going out with your friends ... and Mark ... he is only concerned with himself, with his own career and his own friends!”
“ I know... Give me a few days, I'll accept your help, will not be easy, but this decision is necessary...”
“ If you don´t leave that house, I can´t see a good future for you. You need to look yourself in the mirror! Where is the beautiful, joyful and fun Isadora that I know? He is erasing you. This is not love!”
I know, I feel he doesnt love me . I need to find out the real reason why he wants to keep this relationship.
“ I think you should get out immediately!”
“ I'll leave. Give me a few days. I need to find some things. Then I swear, I'll tell you everything!”
“ Take care! I regret the split second when I had the idea to introduce you for him!”
“ Do not blame yourself ... now I know who he is! Although he is an advertising men, and studied on the best schools in performing arts in Los Angeles, he is an excellent actor. But...still not is able to keep the interpretation. The mask will fall and I need to be there when it happens!”
“ Okay, I'll respect your decision. But I give my word! I´here for you whenever you need me!”
After lunch, Flavio left Isadora at home.
“ I'll wait your paintings until one week. You can! Don´t let me down!”
“ I'll try ...”
Flavio looked into the eyes of Isadora and said, gently:
“ Honey, the distress and suffering are just signs that we are going against our truths, and you're going against yourself. Don´t make this with yourself! Don´t throw away your talent and your personality cause this relationship. Get out! You have my support!”
“ Thank you! I promise I'll think about it all!”
They parted with a hug and Isadora entered the building. She opened the door and walked into the room, lay down in bed and began to cry. She felt alone. Out of work.... no love...no money ... on rock bottom.

“ Good night! I'm going
