Chapter 108 - New Directions and Reflections
Early in the morning, Gustavo and Kendall are in the kitchen, preparing a quiet breakfast. The atmosphere is serene and the soft morning light comes in through the window, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Gustavo is thoughtful, and Kendall notices his restless state.
Kendall: "You seem worried, love. Are you thinking about what to do now that you're retired?"
Gustavo: "Yes, I am. I'm not sure what I want to do next. I feel like I have so many options, but none of them feel right right now."
Kendall, always attentive to Gustavo's needs, suggests an idea that she thinks could be a good opportunity for him.
Kendall: "Have you ever thought about becoming a model? You have the profile, height and presence that agencies love. Plus, I could help you with some contacts in the beginning. What do you think?"
Gustavo considers the suggestion, and his look reveals a mix of interest and hesitation. He thinks about the idea.
Gustavo: "It's an interesting idea. I've never thought about it before. But, to be honest, I wouldn't want you to suggest jobs to me. I feel like I should go after it on my own, like anyone else."
Kendall understands Gustavo's perspective and respects his desire to follow his own path. She smiles, admiring his determination.
Kendall: "I understand. I'm not going to pressure you to do anything. If you decide to follow this path, it will be for your own achievements. And I'll be here to support you in any way."
The two share a moment of silence, enjoying each other's presence. Kendall holds Gustavo's hand, and they look at each other with affection and understanding. The silence is comfortable and full of meaning, reflecting the mutual support and love they share.
