The next morning, Ricardo got up early to make breakfast: eggs, bread, and a cold coffee with milk, just the way she liked it. He said, “Get well, love.” Mariana smiled happily. Maybe they said Mexican men weren’t very romantic, but her husband was an exception. But happiness, sometimes, is like glass: transparent, beautiful… and…
Mariana laughed, snuggling into his shoulder. The smell of his skin, his rapid breathing, the sparkle in his eyes: everything made her feel at peace.
