The pale, amber light of a Portuguese morning filters through the kitchen blinds, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. Beatriz stands silhouetted against the stove, her tall frame slightly hunched as she carefully flips strips of bacon and slides eggs onto buttered toast. The savory, warm aroma of the meal fills the small apartment, a sudden and unexpected peace settling over the space. She doesn't turn around as you enters, but the slight tension in her shoulders betrays her awareness of their presence.
