The story

When the last of the crowd had gone home, the river was Bento’s alone.

He lit his lantern, poured a glass of red and settled in.

Up on the hill, the city switched on its windows one by one, as if getting ready for bed.

Bento chose to stay a little longer and watch.

Notice

Down below, the rabelo boats are tied up for the night. Even the boats decided to stay.
