Three truths and a lie.

Stealing Rose Con Pollo’s Heart
Whenever she watched Fernando, Rose Con Pollo’s stomach spasmed with a jolt of love and her heart went pitty pat, pitty pat, pitty . . . pat . . . pat. . . pitty . . . because she was in love and because she needed a pacemaker — but mostly because she was in love.
Rose adored everything about Fernando. The way he could hold his breath for four and a half minutes at a time, the way he could dive so deep to the bottom of the sea; but mostly, she loved the way he looked at her when their eyes met through the green bubbly water of the glass-bottomed boat where Rose liked to sit and watch her beloved Fernando dive for pearls.
Fernando had stolen Rose Con Pollo’s heart, plain and simple.
Of course, there was no way Rose Con Pollo was going to leave her husband, Arroz, and run off with Fernando no matter how many pearls he found for her. Don’t make her laugh! No way! Not a snowball’s chance . . .

So where did Rose and Fernando run off to? lol Diane
HAHA! Probably somewhere near the ocean I’m guessing. 😀
“…and because she needed a pacemaker –” Haha!
You have so many interesting characters in your head – it must be like a party in there!
Haha so true! People always describe me as quiet. Which always amazes me because I sure don’t feel quiet in my head!
Hi,
All the love that was poured out at the beginning, I had a good laugh when I got to the ending. 😀
So glad you liked it Mags! 🙂
pat . . . pat . . . pitty

So glad! My favorite comment letters for sure Barbara!! 😀
I think the lie is that she wouldn’t run away.
So many things can go Con Pollo…
You got that right El Guapo Con Pollo! 🙂

I wondered if there was an arroz con pollo dish in there. The with chicken family is safe. Or is it?
I liked the part where she watched Fernando thru the glass-bottomed boat and pretended she was watching a Jacques Cousteau documentary on television… : P
You are a pacemaker, ’cause you certainly set the pace when it comes to humor– oh, my heart–!! : )
