En la fiesta de nuestro primer aniversario de bodas, caí de bruces sobre una alfombra roja, jadeando como pez fuera del agua. Carlo Pipino, mi esposo, rodeaba con el brazo a Gianna Verde, su amor de la infancia, bebiendo champán y riendo. Gianna sabía que yo era alérgica a las nueces y algunos frutos secos. Así que, obviamente, lo bañó todo con aderezo a base de avellanas. Un bocado y ¡pum!, se me hizo un nudo en la garganta, se me encendieron los pulmones y me reventó el salpullido como confeti. Busqué mis medicamentos para la alergia y, en su lugar, encontré un puñado de M&Ms derretidos. Gianna se rio al ver mi cara. —¡Sorpresa!, Carlo te cambió los medicamentos. ¿En serio, Siena? ¿Una nuez? ¿No te parece demasiado dramático? Me deslicé de la silla, jadeando, mientras el público apostaba sobre cuánto duraría mi «actuación». —Carlo... mis medicamentos... —grazné—. Por favor. Voy a morir. Él suspiró, molesto. —Dios mío, qué dramática eres. ¿Por qué las mujeres siempre juegan a hacerse las muertas para llamar la atención? Sabes que te amo. ¡Detén este espectáculo de una vez! En ese momento, mi corazón se rompió más rápido que mis pulmones. Dejé de suplicar. Presioné la señal de socorro. Llamé a mi verdadera familia.

Después de mi parto natural terminé con laxitud vaginal y me convertí en un enorme agujero negro. Mi esposo, cuyo tamaño ya de por sí dejaba mucho que desear, se negaba a tener intimidad conmigo. Cuando mi suegro se enteró, me acorraló en el baño con la mirada turbia y me dijo que él tenía hipertrofia, entonces me entraría como anillo al dedo...

Llevo diez años casada con Nicolás. He conocido a cada una de sus novias. Cada vez que se aburría y quería cambiar, yo era su mejor pretexto para terminar con ellas: —Si te casas conmigo, vas a terminar igual que ella. Nos acostumbraríamos tanto el uno al otro que se perdería toda la emoción. En nuestro aniversario de bodas, yo le secaba las lágrimas a la universitaria que acababa de dejar, mientras él llevaba a su nueva conquista al cine. Cuando se acabó el paquete de pañuelos, fue como ver un reflejo de mi pasado. Así que le pedí el divorcio. Su reacción fue de una confusión genuina, algo raro en él. —¿No vas a esperar un poco más? Tal vez lo nuestro pudo funcionar. Le dediqué una sonrisa vaga, sin responder, y compré un boleto de avión para cruzar el océano. Ya no podía esperar a que cambiara, así que decidí dar el primer paso.
