Humberto arrived from the shipyard shivering. May had brought wind and cold. In El Tigre, on the Luján River, the chill cut even deeper.
Pulling on another pair of socks, he closed his eyes and imagined he was back in Treinta y Tres. He saw himself in the countryside, surrounded by his friends, in his favorite short-sleeved shirt and his alpargatas. He smelled Sunday's barbecue.
—Humberto! You fell asleep. Go to bed or you'll freeze.
