Who: Antonio and Afonso
When: Mid-day on February 4th, 2011
Where: The Coffee Shoppe eventually
What: A tale of two brothers and why you should never let them wander the streets alone.
Afonso shoved his hands in his pockets and burrowed a little deeper into the fabric of his warm black and white scarf, trying to hide from the biting cold. He wasn't used to the climate yet--it was a lot different than his pleasant Lisbon.
And it was all in Fahrenheit.
Weird.
Staring down at the ground between his loafers, Afonso started to think. It had been a really, really long time since he'd seen his brother. Would things be awkward? He sort of hoped they wouldn't be--despite the size of their family, he and Antonio had been particularly close. He wondered if he was happy here, if that job--a teacher, he'd heard--made him happy. Well, he was going to find out, now; it was time for a family reunion.
Antonio would find Afonso like that, daydreaming like a curbside prophet and trying to keep warm in the chill of the February air.
