Lovers

Drawn at Posto 10, Ipanema in Rio looking towards the buildings of the avenue. Two couples slowly merged into one long, easy conversation. The garçom from the barraca, the kindest man, moved around them, and everyone seemed held and protected by his presence. One couple was still new, gently figuring out how to meet each other’s friends. I didn’t understand half of what was being said. It didn’t matter. The moment was light, sweet, and full of care.
