“ amore , meet the man who just saved your evening from tragic boredom .”
her gaze flicked between them , playful as ever

“ oui, him. ” francesca finishes off her glass of bubbly before grabbing another glass off of a silver tray that passed by. she watches as alessia walks straight in his direction and hardly have to work any
Hearing the door swing shut brings a smile on his face as he sits in his couch strumming his guitar. Waiting for her to get up to him the anticipation building up in him
⠀
alessia arrived at the flat , the faint hum of his music spilling into the hall . she stepped inside , the door swinging shut behind her and felt a thrill at the thought of what the night might hold .
