Fifteen Candles

Constanza gave a reading at the Chelsea Barnes and Noble ie books for the masses ie she has arrived.

She wore high black heels and jeans and looked yummy.

She read in a serious voice.

I now know that Bogota thinks in shades of grey.

I bought her book and left it in at the restaurant where we drank wine and ate quesadillas.

She told the assembled writers that the passion of my life was a cat called Estorbo.

They were all Spanish-speaking...

She didn't mean it like that, but understood why I was mortifed and knows she owes me.

So she told me a secret at Robin du Bois later.

And in a fit of sharing I told her one, too, and now we are both wide-eyed.

Tomorrow I must find the book.
