Their visit to the church had taken up more time than Kyle had expected, but they still had enough time to hit up Fortaleza Street before they needed to head to his surprise location. He hadn’t meant to open a can of worms by asking Drea about her parents, and part of him felt guilty for it. But he had meant what he told her while they were sitting there—he wanted all of her, and that included getting to know all the parts she didn’t like to show. Wiping away her tears was a small price to pay for being able to hold her in his arms and having her open up to him.

The walk to Fortaleza Street was mostly uphill from the church and Drea grumbled a number of times along the way. Kyle had offered to give her a piggyback ride, and each time had been met with the response of “but I’m in a sundress,” not that he had any clue what difference that made. All he knew was that once they did make it up there, her reaction would have been worth every step.

As they rounded the corner and the brightly colored umbrellas came into view, it was all Kyle could do to not let Drea’s giggle go straight to his groin. She grabbed his hand and pulled him the rest of the way to the street corner, moving faster than he’d seen her move in awhile. She hopped up and down, giggling as she did so, looking up wide-eyed at the rows and rows of an everyday item that had been repurposed to create something spectacular. While it didn’t bring quite the same level of joy to him as it did Drea, Kyle did have to admit it was cool looking. Watching Drea get as excited as a small child on Christmas over something so simple was easily going to be a highlight in his mind for a very long time. Her giggle rang out, echoing off the buildings in the alleyway, making it that much more potent.

She pulled him close and made him take a selfie (or twenty) with her. At first it seemed stupid—they could just hand the phone to one of the dozen other people milling about taking pictures—but as she continued he got caught up in her antics and started to make silly faces right along with her. He loved seeing this side of her return. Her smile and giggle were some of his favorite parts of her. But to know she was able to recover so quickly, having just been sobbing not all that long ago in the church, showed a resilience that he didn’t know she possessed until today. All combined, it made him respect her even more.

“We came, we saw, we conquered the umbrellas,” Kyle said, when he thought Drea might finally be done with the selfies.

“How does one conquer an umbrella? Especially ones elevated three stories up as a work of art?” she giggled.

“Umm, I’m gonna have to think on that,” he replied.
