The Italian Affair
Category: Romance
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
The end.
