The Italian Affair

Category: Romance

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

A knock at the door changed everything.

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

The end.
