So many things can happen so fast. One minute you can be enjoying a cup of tea and the next you’re in another place entirely.
I was relaxing with a friend in the country when it all started. We were lounging in a pair of big lawn chairs agreeing to disagree about her upcoming wedding. Sarah wanted me to wear turquoise. I wanted to wear dark plum/grey. I have dark chocolate eyes and hair, cut short, with caramel coloured skin; I’d look terrible in turquoise. As an athletic 5’6” woman, I really don’t want to look silly when I’m in front of all those cameras with my best friend.
“I’m just saying, Daniela, I really like turquoise. It’s bright and cheerful!” She sighed. The bright afternoon sun shimmered off the solitaire gold ring on her left hand. She looked comfortable; stretched out in a pair of long pale green linen shorts and white cotton tank top. Bare feet wiggled at the end of long muscular legs. A silver anklet adorned her right ankle. The plastic lounge chair creaked as she shifted to get more comfortable.
“I agree. It’s a nice colour, Sarah, but, I would look very silly. I do winter colours, Hun. Dark plum and grey would be much better.” I reasoned. I, too, was relaxing on a plastic lounge chair. I had my favourite pair of baggy white yoga pants and plain white hooded vest. My bare feet were curled up behind me with my legs bent and leaning right.
“Will you at least consider it if I find a tasteful dress?” Sarah pleaded as she looked at me with her wide blue eyes.
“Sure, if you do the same for dark plum and grey.” I countered as I grinned.
“You never give up, Daniela.” Sarah shook her head in exasperation.
“Where would the fun in that be?” I winked mischievously.
Sarah merely rolled her eyes.
