THE STORY

Sunday the thirteenth of May, Mother's Day, at one o'clock. At the farm in Minas, Bia's mother and grandparents are round the long table on the veranda, her father is at the barbecue, and her mother has propped her phone against the sugar bowl. On the screen, Daniel and Bia are on the sofa in Botafogo, with Pipoca between them, and they haven't stopped smiling since the call started. That evening, it's Chicago's turn. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
