As Rafael repeatedly says how sorry he is for what he did, how he regrets losing her. Marilena almost gives in, the memories of their love too strong to resist. However, she remembers Christian's smile and how he makes her feel. She knows he's just a fake boyfriend, but she doesn't want to ruin what they have. If she gives in to Rafael's advances, it would question the credibility of her relationship with Christian.
The thought of Christian brings a smile to her face. He's been nothing but supportive and understanding. He always knows the right things to say and makes her feel special. She knows he's just pretending to be her boyfriend, but sometimes she wishes it was real.
Rafael notices the smile on her face and it only adds to his pain. "Is it Christian?" He asks, his voice filled with bitterness.
Marilena looks at him in surprise. 'What do you mean?'
