That afternoon, on the corner of Cerro Largo and Piedra Alta, right next to the Palacio Peñarol, Ricardo straightened the crates and whistled tangos.
He served his last customers, folded away his apron, pulled down the shutter, and set off for the bus station with a small bag. A few hours later he would be in Mercedes, celebrating his eldest daughter's fifteenth birthday.
