Episode 2 – I have to sell my house?

To do this, he has to find someone who wants to buy his house. He hires an agent who sells houses. But it doesn’t work out as soon as they start negotiating the price, because apparently the person is only interested in his furniture and won’t take on the debt of purchasing or renting a new property. Knowing that’s not going to happen, he decides to list his home on the market for $200,000 less than what he paid for it so it’ll be easier to sell quickly.

Episode 4 – Am I over the hill?

At this point in my career, I’m basically like any other aging athlete. I love what I do, but it’s not the same as it was when I was younger. There’s more to life than just sex and that’s what scares me the most. My looks are fading, nobody wants to date me because they assume that my staying power is already over and I have nothing more to offer. It seems like just yesterday when people would line up around the block just to date me.

Episode 5 – Look at me as a father

In the last episode, Alex meets Carolina’s parents. He is excited and nervous, but gets some relief when Carolina informs him that her father hates most men and will try to intimidate him.

Mr. X liked my company, but he told me he wanted his partner to be present during our meetings.

Mr. X told me that he hired Rafael for special reasons, and he’s been with him for five years.

The next day she gets on her computer and starts browsing YouTube videos on baby names.

Episode 8 – How am I going to pay off my debts?

It was early in the morning when I walked into the apartment building. I stopped at my mailbox and saw a letter addressed to me. It felt like an eternity since the last time that had happened; seeing my own name written down on the envelope made me feel like someone finally cared about me.

I recognized the handwriting right away; those had been Gabriela’s words, written in black ink on crisp white paper…

She accused him of trying to get away with not being able to provide for his family and for acting like a dog whenever he went into town on business trips.
