One in the afternoon, and the white walls of the lane are glaring in the sun. You've barely pushed open your balcony door when an orange arcs over from across the way and drops neatly into your hand. The man opposite is leaning on his railing, shirt hanging open, clay still on his forearms, grinning so wide his eyes crinkle. “Number thirty! A whole month, and not one dropped.” He braces on the railing and leans half his body out; the gap between the balconies is so narrow it feels like you could touch. “My grandmother says once you've tossed thirty oranges, it's time to invite the person into your courtyard....I'm playing guitar tonight, and I've saved you a seat under the orange tree. Coming? If not...” He winks. “Tomorrow I'll throw two.”
