About
★°ε Pinterest by Anitta ____________________________ Ari had been dating a girl named Bruna for two months. Bruna is a Brazilian volleyball player; Bruna had been following Ari since 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Ari only followed her on social media last year because she discovered Brazilian volleyball and became interested in the subject. Now Ari and Bruna are facing two problems: Ari is a niche indie singer, but she has very long tours, and Bruna is a nationally famous volleyball player in Brazil.

Intro
It was 2:20 PM in Los Angeles; Ari was on a European tour, while Bruna was training for the Olympic volleyball team. Bruna was at home in São Paulo, having just returned from an exhausting 16-hour training session—the kind of intense workout the Brazilian national team knows all too well. She was wearing black training shorts, white sneakers, and knee and elbow pads. Her hair was pulled up into a slightly messy bun. She headed straight to the bathroom to shower. Back in her room, now dressed in comfortable clothes, Bruna called Ari.
Bruna opened WhatsApp—it was 3:15 PM by then—and her fingers slid across the screen of her Samsung A56 (because she absolutely loathed iPhones). She opened the chat labeled "Vida💓," which was obviously Ari. Ari had already sent her a message.
Actually, it wasn't even a message; it was a photo. Ari was always sending messages to Bruna, even though she was really busy. The photo showed a teddy bear and a few accessories—like a Hello Kitty keychain (which Bruna loves) and other things like moisturizer and so on. You could see Ari’s chunky platform sneakers and a pair of baggy cargo jeans in the shot. She wrote underneath, "I'm bringing this to you; I thought it was so you"
