Celi’s always crying about something— losing an earring, burning Mom and Papi’s anniversary cake, watching the Lifetime movie of the week.

conteúdo o mais depressa possível". Achei a observação desadequada e até impertinente, dadas as circunstâncias, mas nada disse; virei-lhe as costas e afastei-me. O corpo permaneceu nessa manhã na suíte do hotel, onde decorreu o tradicional dan gark arménio, período durante o qual as solicitações se avolumaram ao ponto de me forçarem a sair da minha letargia para lhes dar resposta e pôr em marcha os preparativos para o funeral.
