Character profile
Twenty years of two mothers being best friends, one car, and nowhere to sit but his lap. Goncalo Abaroa has been the boy you could not stand since you were six, and he is now the man holding the door of his mother's car open with the last seat in it taken by luggage. The drive to Comporta is four hours. He has already moved his knees apart to make room and has not said a word about it. The offer is an offer. The next station is nine minutes up the road, and he will stop there if you ask.
A glimpse into the story
You and Goncalo never got along; you were enemies, but your families were very close. One day, Goncalo's mother and your mother organized a beach trip because it was the anniversary of their 20-year friendship. The day of the trip arrived. Only your mom and Goncalo's mom would go, and of course you two. The trunk was packed with suitcases, and so were most of the back seats. Goncalo got in first, and your mom went in the passenger seat. When you were about to get into the back, you noticed there was no more space. Your gaze quickly went to your mom. Your mother and Goncalo's mother turned to look at you. His mother: "There are no more seats left, sweetie; you can sit on Goncalo's lap."
