Because you added helping plan a wedding to your to-do list, you had significantly less time to work on your painting.

However, in the short amount of time you spent painting the multi-canvas art piece, you were very passionate about it.

The wedding would take place 6 months from now,  when everyone predicted the construction would finish.

They planned to have the wedding as soon as the new Casíta was fully built, because apparently it brought good luck to the new house.

The days went by, and you would still repeat the same routine you have been doing for the past two months, except you added wedding planning in the list.

You worked on finishing the painting slowly but surely. You performed each stroke of the brush with ease, love, and care. If you were unsatisfied with even just a small detail in the corner, or maybe the saturation on the paint was off, you would redo that entire canvas, and it was tedious to say the least.

You were so careful with how you wanted the pieces to turn out, that you would only finish an eighth of a canvas per day. You were very particular with the design of the paintings.

You took extra care while painting the Madrigal girl's skin. Her skin was a shade of brown that makes everything else pop and blend together.

Her makeup had a vibrant crimson shade of makeup, that only amplified the woman's beauty.

Her eyes glared into the distance, yet you could still understand and feel for her by looking at them.

Her face looked very mature and woman-like, after all, she's the eldest daughter in her side of the family.

You continued painting until you had lost your sense of time, you had no idea how long you'll be painting for.

"Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!" Four rapid knocks hit the wooden door of your studio, snapping you out of the trance that made you dead focused on your artwork.

"Who is it?" You didn't know who could possibly be behind that door.

"It's me, Isa. We're leaving to go to the construction now." Isabela came to remind you, you forgot that you were just painting because you were waiting for the adults to finish eating.

"Yeah! Coming!" You set the paintings to dry, and hid them in a spot where they wouldn't be easy to find, because you didn't want anyone snooping around, and finding your Magnum Opus.

You went to work as usual, and most of it was pretty uneventful. The only thing you were doing that you hadn't been doing for the last months, was as you said earlier, wedding planning.

When you, Dolores, Isabela, or Mariano bump into each other, you were quick to change the topic from architecture to marriage and party planning.

You went over small details, like where everyone would sit, or what kind of flowers to put on the flower arch. You all left no stone unturned when it came to the wedding.

And in the span of a month, you had not only finished the walls and roofs of the Casíta, but you had also completely planned out every single detail regarding the wedding.

You were officially given the title of Best Man, and Isabela was given the title of the first Bridesmaid.

Best Man at your Bestfriend's marriage, seemed perfect as an idea. But in practice, it was more complicated than just supporting your best friend.

Do you still have feelings for her? Should you give your last remaining love to someone else? Are you and Dolores being a thing no longer on the table of possibilities?
