L’HISTOIRE

Thursday the twelfth of September, twenty thirty, the week after Daniel's second trip to the Northeast. At ten, in Fernanda's meeting about the new office, he stops in the middle of a sentence and goes white. At half past eleven, in the emergency department, a cardiologist has the results. And at noon, in the waiting room, Bia is waiting for him. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
