She sat pensively, worried about something. Ricardo had no way of knowing what it was that hinged her thoughts away from their lunch. He was ecstatic, he had almost blown away the chance of meeting by suggesting he wasn’t interested in a heavy lunch. He would have eaten the entire animal kingdom, if she was in the mood for heavy lunch.
It's strange how the memory of that day is etched in Ricardo's mind like he took a photo of the day and put it in his wallet. Midday sun overhead, sea breeze winding through the lanes where their offices were, sunglasses... a lot of people wore sunglasses that day he'd noted. The local carbonated drinks in rainbow colours and a new cuisine were tried out that afternoon. An isolated afternoon in a long summer with days rather indistinguishable from each other.

I've decided to have Spanish names for my imaginary characters; given my current fascination with the Iberian Peninsula. But it's not exactly current, this fascination. Some of it was put in motion after I saw two back to back movies starring Ricardo Darin and Soledad Villamil (the rest of course comes from the excellent Blaugrana).
Love happened after that and all information on Soledad Villamil was devoured within the next hour. The Secret In Their Eyes is definitely worth a watch; in fact the relationship between Villamil and Darin as a subplot is superbe too.Take a look at this song and try denying Cupid his aim. I don't understand Spanish, just a bit of French which is similar to Spanish, but I thoroughly enjoy the song as if I understand every word she sings!
