Marcelo had been standing across the alley with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His t-shirt was a bit tighter with how he puffed himself out to look more intimidating. When the door opened he pushed away from the wall.
He relaxed and grinned when his wife came over to greet him. "As she didn't attack you with a sewing machine, I'd say so, too. Also, she didn't give you a burlap sack for a dress. Give me a second, querida."
He went over to hug his aunt tightly and kiss her cheeks. He promised to return to Brazil more frequently for visits. Before he stepped back out of the doorway, he made sure she didn't need his muscle to keep Beto from coming by later. His aunt assured him she had been dealing with irate husbands since she was a young girl.
"Well, today went well." He came back to Stephanie and put his arm around her. "I apparently look intimidating enough to scare men a full block away."
