Looking for Tomás
Looking for Tomás — Fish market, Lisbon, 2019
I was there every Saturday for three months while I lived nearby. Tomás corrected my pronunciation every single week and refused to let me buy anything he thought wasn't fresh that day. He mentioned a daughter who was studying in Porto. I moved home suddenly for family reasons and never said goodbye properly, which still bothers me.
