‘Hey Dino, that you? You are here! Welcome home my friend.’

‘Illias, hey! How is the wood shop going?’ Dino greets the newcomer.

‘Work is not so good, but I am married now.’ He pulls his hand from Dino’s grasp and holds up his fingers to show a ring to prove it. ‘Florentia.’ He nods to a pretty, tiny girl standing by the bar with a group of friends, who Dino vaguely recognises from school. She clearly only has eyes for her husband, her head swivelling like a bird’s every few seconds to smile over to him.

‘Congratulations, Illia.’

‘Thank you. Are you staying?’

‘He wants to stay,’ Adonis says.

Ilias spits on the ground. ‘What do you want to come here for? There is no work. Stay in England, don’t make a mistake … find an English girl. Marriage is a wonderful thing, you should try it Dino. Don’t end up a lonely bachelor like our friend Adonis here.’ He grins at Adonis, expecting a rise, but Adonis tuts and turns his head away. ‘Seriously, Dino, it is amazing. Life feels settled, content. We have no money, but …’ He trails off, and then breaks into a broad grin. ‘Ah!’ he shouts into Dino’s ear, above the music, ‘I heard you have been taking riding lessons in England. But you have forgotten how we do it here in Greece ….’ And with this he pats Dino on his shoulder and leaves, almost hurrying, with long, easy, light strides. Dino scowls in the direction of the bar where Ilias is now embracing Florentia.
