As Long As You Wrap Them Well

L’HISTOIRE

It's Tuesday morning, the fifteenth of December, four days before the wedding. Sarah and Julian take a bus to Tlaquepaque, the crafts town next to Guadalajara, a town of painted pottery, glassblowers and mariachis. Julian thinks the blender is present enough. Sarah drags him into a little workshop where a man is blowing a glowing ball of glass at the end of a long pipe, with hundreds of glasses on the shelves. That evening, at Valeria's flat, the box has to go under the bed before the bride sees it. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
