Elias had always been charmingly careless with paper. The kind of man who could lose his keys in his own coat pocket and still smile like the world owed him a favor. He loved the market on Sundays, the way the vendors shouted over each other and the bulbs of garlic smelled like something holy. He loved Marta in ways that were loud and small: the way he made coffee for her when she woke early, the way he fixed the kitchen sink when it squealed. He loved their home enough to stay up late building shelves and making lists of dreams they’d never quite gotten around to.
