PHOTOGRAPHS & ALICIA

It was a good divorce. They still liked each other but inspite of this Pilar was concerned that her father Felipe would find it hard to adjust to a new man in his daughter’s life. To protect him Pilar’s own daughter, just a teen at the time, would get up early, pour barely a sip of coffee into a cup and gently swill it around the sides. Seeing the dregs of coffee Felipe would then assume that Pilar had already had breakfast and left for work when she had actually spent the night at Armando’s. These photographs are of Alicia’s parents, Pilar and César, when they see them they invariably comment on how lovely their ex looks. They each went on to have happier second marriages but this, in part, has been due to the fact that they have never lost this generosity towards one another.
