PART 2 · LESSON 20 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Close to the Heart

At Salvador airport, a week after they landed, the Rio crowd says goodbye to Luana and Thiago with a date already set. Say we arrived an hour early, because I drove, it's not going to happen again, December at Carla's wedding it's set, you come a few days before there's room at our place, by plane, far from the eyes close to the heart, and let's go before I cry too.
