Hoje não dá!
Tati invites Gabi for an açaí at Camburi beach after work. Gabi, a nurse with four night shifts this week, says she can't and describes her day: she gets home at half past seven, walks her son Davi to school, puts the washing on, does the dishes, sleeps until one, gets up, cooks, plays with Davi and goes back to the hospital at six. She suggests Sunday afternoon instead.
