2024-10-15 Vestida de Color de Rosa
Debbie Zapata
I had no idea that Marco liked me so much in pink, especially the girly pale pink of this jacket. I don’t mind a bolder shade like fuchsia, but I really do prefer not to wear pale pink.
However, I buy my clothes at secondhand shops and there are times when I can not pass up a perfect-except-for-the-color item such as the jacket in this video.
I think if I had to pick a color that I liked best for Marco, it would be yellow, because of a shirt he often wore in our earliest days getting to know each other.
Thinking about it makes me fly back in time to a day when I planned to surprise him at the pool to thank him for a CD he had left tucked into the screen door of my house. The staff said he had not been there that morning, so I left, disappointed at missing a chance to connect at a moment when I knew that he felt for me what I was feeling for him.
Sometime later he explained about that day. He had taken a group of students to climb one of the hills on the outskirts of Agua Prieta, and joked that he had waved to me, had I not seen the yellow spot on top of the mountain that day?
Ever since then if either of us mentions the yellow spot, we both get the giggles.
I am not sure if I still have this pink jacket, but I do hope Marco still has his yellow shirt!
