Ti ricordi di McKenna?
by Maria Ferrer PayerasSe mi ricordo di McKenna? Come potrei dimenticarmene! Lui è il responsabile della mia ossessione per quelli con i capelli rossi e per tutto quello che ha a che fare con la Scozia. È stato il mio primo amore quando avevo solo sedici anni, e si sa, il primo amore non si scorda mai. Voi siete riuscite a farlo? Io no. Mi ha spezzato il cuore in mille pezzettini e adesso, a una settimana dal matrimonio di una delle mie migliori amiche, vengo a sapere che non solo è invitato, ma che è anche il testimone dello sposo. Meno male che la settimana scorsa ho comprato un calendario con delle frasi per dare un po’di saggezza alla mia vita (sapete a cosa mi riferisco); spero solo che quella che mi è toccata oggi non sia vera: «Mai dire mai; la vita ha dei modi molto divertenti per dimostrarti che ti sbagli».
