Mind change

Alessandro’s POV

“You are welcome to our humble abode,” Catherine grinned from ear to ear, as Owen stepped into the house, while scanning around him, completely in awe.

“This is everything but humble, Cathie. You live in a palace.” Owen mused before steering his focus to me. “It's nice to finally meet you, Alessandro.” He said, outstretching his hand.

Clasping his hands with mine in a handshake, I nodded. “Same here, Owen.”

Owen was tall, but I was taller by some inches and more muscular than him. His hair was brown and he had a set of kind, hazel eyes.

Pulling his hand away, his eyes gaped. “Shit, I forgot the wine in the car. I'll be right back in a jiffy. Please excuse me.”

Before Catherine and I could react, he had bounded out of the house.

“Owen is such a funny case, isn't he?” My wife nudged me, and although I didn't agree with her, I nodded in affirmation.

I couldn't understand how being forgetful was funny, if anything, it was dumb.

Get a grip, Alessandro, a voice from within
