Danilo
Mr Pereira
That rang in my head over and over again as I watched Dove walk away from me to the front of the boardroom. Everything felt like it was playing in slow motion the moment he raised his hand to give me a fist bump.
At first it was the shock that he had gotten injured then the realization of how he had gotten injured. I knew he worked at the restaurant Benecio loved to go to. Benecio loved it because it was the only place in Miami that resembled Pai's food.
He would never admit but at times I believed he got home sick. He had never spent longer than two weeks away from them and he searched for an environment that felt similar. When he said he had hurt a boy from the restaurant it hadn't clicked in my head that it could be Dove.
