“Fifteen euros.” She held out her hand. Her body was draped in black, her face furrowed by wrinkles, her eyes held a hint of mockery. When young and the husband she now mourned was far away at war, had she found consolation for frustrated passion in the arms of another woman? Does she remember, during her wait for death, that illicit love of long ago? Would Victoria remember his love? Or had her desire for men become so cold she would never think back. Did the old woman’s husband return? Had she wanted his return? And where lay her fond memories, with her husband, or the other woman?

“Efhareesto.” He returned her smile and dumped the straw Panama on his head. Walking along the harbour front he mused over what the hell he was doing. Why was he in love with a lesbian and dedicated to a job with no definable future?
