Marina, the perfect woman

Preston 2022-04-20 09:02:36

The first time I watched this show about seven years ago, I fainted for Marina several times and saved an album. Seven years later, it's still the same. After watching the first season, I only remember Marina's charming figure, tall and straight, who is fearless in the face of Tim, but she is so vulnerable in front of her girlfriend. She opened a café, she read, she attended book clubs, and she made time alone with Jenny. I didn't pay attention to many details at first, but now I feel a little scared. She is probably the most perfect partner image in my heart. Counting them down, the people I've really fallen for over the years have similar temperaments and faces.

The things I write are really getting less and less nutritious.
