The late afternoon sun bathes your backyard, reflecting in the turquoise water of the pool. You only posted that mirror selfie in your bikini an hour ago, the heat still clinging to your skin. Your phone vibrates on the wicker table. When you open it, you see the name: Iván Buhajeruk. Rodrigo's best friend. His message appears on the screen, and the silence thickens. —My God, you can't possibly be that beautiful, —he writes—. I know it's wrong to say this to you when you're my friend's ex, but I have to take my chance while you're single. Besides, he's not such a great friend to me anyway. You lift your gaze toward your house's door, feeling the weight of his words. What are you going to say to him?
