ENSEADA BEACH

For the first time since arriving in Guarujá, Ana Lucia spent a few hours in the morning at Enseada Beach. Sitting on those sands with so much meaning, she reflected on the last events of her life.

Without waiting, he spotted a tall man dressed as an athlete. He ran along the beachfront. The seashore was calm on that beach still empty of tourists. It was very early; it was seven o'clock in the morning. The man approached Ana Lucia, who stared at him in surprise.

“Gabriel!” She got up and smiled.

“Ana Lucia! You are here?” He looked even more surprised.

“I should say: you here!”

"I thought you were still in the States."

“I was, but I had to return to Brazil to renew my student visa. I am staying at my aunt Margareth's house, two blocks from the beach, in the Acapulco Beach Building, Rua São Paulo.”

“Yeah, I know the building. But you did not tell me the floor and the apartment number.”

“You’re still silly!”

“I meant it.”

"I took advantage of it to enjoy the beach a little early, before the summer vacationers arrive and fill these sands. I like to reflect on life admiring this sea.”

“To reflect, I understand... But what a coincidence we meet again here! I've been on the beach for the past few months every morning.”

"I did not know that athlete side of you.”

“Now I worry more about my health and I keep this exercise routine. I am a manager of a building materials store, on the Estrada de Pernambuco, not too far from here, like four blocks from here. Before work I make my run.”

“It does very well.”

“How long will you stay in Brazil?”

“Just until my visa comes. I love being here again. This is my first day at this beach where I spent my childhood. Being able to breathe this air is something unique. Soon after I arrived, I stayed in Santos for three days at Alice's house. I missed her a lot.”

"It was good to see you, Ana Lucia.”

"I say the same, Gabriel.”

“Says the same? There's something. What do you think about having lunch together today at Il Faro restaurant? Think about it: it will be your first lunch facing the sea.”

"We just met again and you're already inviting me to have lunch with you?"

"And why waste time? We already know each other, you were my girlfriend. Not officially, but you were.”

"Your invitation surprised me. You're right, why waste time? Yes, I do, and I do not need to think too much. I still think we have a lot to talk about.”

"I see you still have the habit of listening to music as you meditate.”

“Yes, I don’t leave this cell phone for nothing. It came from America. My aunt doesn’t like it. She tells me not to leave the house with a cell phone, because of the robberies, but I'm not afraid. If the thief wants to take my cell phone, take it. I’ll work and I can buy another one.”

"I know your romantic view of things.
