After dinner, Carla sits with her fiancé, in the cosy living room of their shared apartment. The evening is filled with a sense of ease as they unwind together. Derek, scrolling through his phone absentmindedly, suddenly pauses when he sees a striking photo on Marilena's WhatsApp status.
"Hey, babe, check this out," Derek says, showing her the photo of Marilena's hand being kissed by a man named Christian.
Carla glances at the screen and a knowing smirk crosses her face. "Ah, that's just Marilena's new guy, Christian. Looks like they're playing up the romance on social media."
Derek raises an eyebrow, "New guy? She moves on fast. They look pretty cosy. Is this the same Christian she was talking about?"
Carla nods, "Yeah, that's him. Marilena seems smitten. Good for her, moving on and all."
Derek, still studying the photo, comments, "Seems like more than just moving on. That hand-kissing looks pretty intimate. You think it's serious?"
