They had moved downtown, to stay with one of Jorge’s aunts on Andes Street. The apartment was filled with antique furniture and countless books. It was also close to the rambla. Emi, who couldn’t cook at all, had learned to make fried eggs and french fries.
During one of their dinners, they remembered their wedding day.
—And to think you didn’t want to wear a suit.
—Too bad the jacket was moth-eaten —Jorge laughed—. You were the most beautiful that day, in your blue dress.
