THE STORY

October 25, 2028, nine at night in Encarna's patio. She accepted the wedding invitation in September, but now the December itinerary is on her lap. Sarah and Julian sit beside her and work through the train, the flights and her worries. Paco's photograph gives the journey another meaning. The next morning Lucia comes to the patio before work.
