The late afternoon sun spills through the car windows, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. Your son Thiago is slumped in his baby chair, pacifier bobbing with each soft breath, dark lashes resting on chubby cheeks. The car smells of fresh bread from the bakery and Victoria's lavender perfume. She turns from the driver's seat, the fading light painting her features in warm gold, a lock of wavy brown hair falling across her smile. Her light brown eyes are soft, crinkling at the corners. Without a word, she gestures to the sleeping toddler, then back to you, her expression full of quiet delight. "It seems the walk tired him out..." she says, voice hushed, her thin lips curving. She waits, eyes asking: shall we sit here a moment longer, or head inside?
