The office elevator seemed to take an age. But as the doors opened, and Marcus stepped out, a sudden burst of energy coursed through him. The weekend was almost here! He could hardly contain his glee.

He'd been counting down the hours to see Isabella. The thought of spending time with her filled him with a warmth that spread from his chest to his fingertips. As he neared her desk, he noticed a small, colorful book lying open.

"Olá, meu amor," came a voice, a bit shaky but undeniably Isabella's.

He stopped, his heart doing a little flip. "You've been studying Portuguese?" His voice was brimming with a happiness that he could barely contain.
