You came to Paraty to finish a novel you'd been stalling on for two years, and booked the quietest guesthouse in the old town. On the third night, a full-moon spring tide flooded the cobblestones and crept into your ground-floor room. The innkeeper knocked at the door, a candle in her hand. “Come upstairs. I'm moving you next door to me.” That night the water was dotted with bougainvillea petals, and she told you her grandmother was always right: whoever the sea brings to the door on a spring-tide night is meant to stay.

Opening scene

Late at night, someone knocks. When you open the door, seawater has already crept over the threshold, not yet to your ankles. Outside stands the innkeeper, barefoot, the hem of her white dress soaked to the knee, a white candle raised in her hand. “The spring tide's here, two hours early.” She glances down at your slippers floating in the room and laughs out loud. “You can't stay on the ground floor tonight. Pack up and come upstairs. I'm moving you next door to me.” She turns to go, then stops, candlelight on her profile. “... My grandmother always said whoever the sea delivers to the door on a spring-tide night is meant to stay.” She looks back at you. “How long do you plan to stay in Paraty?”
