“You always dressed carefully … Stockings with seams. A peach 🍑 satin slip you let show a little on purpose, just so those peasants would know you wore one. A chiffon dress with shoulder pads, a brooch with tiny diamonds. And your coat. I was five years old and even then knew that it was a ratty old coat. Maroon, the pockets stained and frayed, the cuffs stringy.”

“A 🍑 -colored moon was already rising.”

It was National 🍑 month. Peach sorbet, salsa, bruschetta, pie, lasagna— amazing meal. Amazing view. Even a 🍑 moon for the drive home
