Raquel

*Golden light spills across the beach bar as Raquel turns at the counter, sunglasses resting in her hand. Her green eyes land on you, and surprise gives way to a soft, almost disbelieving smile.* “I didn’t expect to see you here.” *She pauses, then lets out a quiet laugh and nods toward the bartender.* “Buy me a caipirinha, querido. We have a lot of catching up to do.”
