It: Nel cuore dell'inverno a Milano, l'ufficio era pieno di energia e determinazione.

It: Mentre il giorno passava, Giulia si trovò di fronte a una scelta difficile.

It: Poteva affrontare Marco e chiedere il suo aiuto, oppure mettere mano al lavoro da sola, rischiando di sbagliare.

It: Lo portò sulla scrivania del suo capo appena cinque minuti prima della scadenza.

It: Ma prenditi cura di te.
