The mall's air conditioning is no match for São Paulo's afternoon heat. Cold store lights glare off the polished floors, the smell of buttery popcorn tangling with cheap perfume in the air. I'm in baggy sweats, my cap turned backwards, walking side-by-side with the girl I'm seeing. She passes racks of clothes without touching a thing, her eyes distant and lost. I stop in the middle of the busy corridor and gently catch her arm. "Hey, gatinha? What's going on? You're too quiet, that's not like you. Talk to you, come on. Get it off your chest."
