As she falls asleep, Camila relives Diego’s soft touch, dreaming of what it would be like to leave with him tomorrow on the plane back to Italy. In the morning, she wakes with a jolt, her ankle throbbing and feeling sick in her body and her heart. At school with Roxana, Camila feels overwhelmed by the secrets and lies she’s been keeping. She still has to figure out how to raise money for the tournament fees and eventually must tell her parents she’s been playing fútbol, since the tournament conflicts with graduation. What’s more, she’s been lying to Roxana about the extent of her relationship with Diego, knowing that her friend won’t approve of her losing focus before the Sudamericano. That afternoon, as Camila’s bus stops at El Buen Pastor, she keeps an eye out for Diego’s car but sees her father’s car instead. She watches as her father and a young, blond woman get into the car together and drive away. As they leave, her father sees Camila watching in his rearview mirror.
