Twenty-Six

A crack of thunder woke Trey with a start. Snapping himself upright, he looked over to the window. Through the curtains, he could see it was light out and yet strangely dark in a way he hadn’t seen since he’d been in Brazil. A second clap brought him to his feet to check on Tomas. He carefully opened the door to the living room and saw Tomas sleeping peacefully, his mouth hanging open. Trey sneaked over to him and tucked the quilt over his little body, then gently ran his hand over his soft hair. Looking at the time, he saw it was after 6 a.m. now. He had finally drifted off around three in the morning and now felt an unshakable grogginess as he stumbled back to his bedroom. Pulling back the curtain, he looked out as rivers of water poured down the glass, making the world outside a blur of dim colours. Lightning flashed, then another boom shook the house.

“Shit,” he said to himself. “So much for a backyard wedding.”

Twenty minutes later, he ran across the field with Tomas in his arms. He hunched over his son to shelter him from the pelting rain. Stepping into the bright warmth of the kitchen, Trey put him down. Alessa got up from the table and quickly started unbuttoning Tomas’s coat and sliding his boots off. “Good morning, rapazinho.”

“Morning, Lessa.” He touched her cheeks with his chubby little fingers. “It’s raining hard!”

“I saw that.” She glanced up at Trey with a worried expression.

Betina reached her hand out to Tomas. “Come, rapazinho, have some pancakes with Tia.”

Alessa stood and watched as Trey finished hanging his coat, which was drenched from his dash to the house. He gave her a confident smile. “You look worried. Don’t be worried. I have a plan.”

“Don’t be worried? This is the first huge storm in over a year! And it happens on our wedding day. What if it’s a sign?”

“A sign? When did you get so superstitious? It’s just rain. I don’t figure the earth chooses weather based on our plans. Do you?” He gave her a kiss on the forehead.

“But—”

“It’s just a little water. Besides, back home, rain on your wedding day means good luck. Or that you’ll have lots of kids. Something like that. Anyway, it’s good. Now, I’m gonna need some coffee, and Carlos. Is he around?”

“He just finished breakfast. Avô!” Betina called as Trey helped himself to a mug.

Carlos appeared a moment later. “Olá!” he said with a smile.

“Olá, Carlos,” Trey said. “Betina, can you help me explain my plan to Carlos? Alessandra, you and Tomas relax and have some pancakes. Then I want you to spend the day doing exactly what you would have if it were sunny out. Take it easy, drink some champagne, get a manicure or whatever it is brides do before a wedding.”

She put her hand on her hip. “How am I supposed to do that?”

“Use your imagination.” He gave her a little wink. “And trust me.
