Page 90 of Wishing for La Luna
Perla nocturna
Mi joya mas preciosa
Novia del Cielo
I can’t wait for the death of light to call on you.
Faro en la oscuridad
Guide me as I sail this treacherous sea of feelings.
Artemisa de mi corazon
Coyolauhqui de mi espiritu
Ix Chel de mi alma
Mami, eres la leyenda
La mitologia hecha mujer
Still waters run deep
But you shine a light so I can see the way
Never leave me in the darkness, mi Diosa
Es Rio.

Luna
I can’t take any more photos. I’ve been capturing the countryside, the coast, and all the authentic sights on the road toLa Capital. The car is quiet. Sel is lying in the back row, and Rio is sleeping half on me with his hand on my lap. I’m reviewing my weekly calendar to ensure everything is posted as expected and that there are no issues with any content coinciding with negative social media events. It’s part of my job to ensure there is no blowback of any kind on our clients.
I post to Morena & Miel, thanking the patrons for helping us sell out of theSosashirt. It makes me laugh that we were able to sell every single unit except the ones that Sel and I kept. I can’t wait to tell her.
“You’re not going to sleep?” Rio whispers in my ear, sending goosebumps down the back of my neck.
I turn my head to the side and meet his eyes. Our mouths are so close, and I take the invitation and kiss him.
“I’m too stimulated to sleep.”
He smiles. “All I did was lay on your shoulder.”
I elbow him.
“You sold out the shirt?” There’s laughter in his voice, which triggers a chuckle from me.
“Yup. I bet you they were not expecting that.”
“No,” he says, kissing my neck. Then he whispers, “I’m sorry we are spending our last day traveling to the city. Zao asked, and it’s a good opportunity, especially with the tour.”
“It’s okay. I haven’t been toLa Capitalin such a long time. I can’t wait to see Zao again. Plus, it will be fun to see you guys do your thing in thebarrio.”
“He is good to me. WhenMamidied, he came to spend time with me at least once a week while I was here. I didn’t want to see anyone, but he would come, and he, Tito, and I would drink beers and talk shit. He was just taking off big time, and he could’ve been with people who wanted to party and celebrate with him.”
“See? Now that you said that, me and Zao are BFFs.”
