While Georgia ran into the arms of Alessandro Mascherano, who was extremely excited for the night he would finally formally declare his love to her, grandma Bianca, who was in her room, heard the main door of the apartment close and went out to see who had left.There in the main hall, she found Valery, who was spying on her best friend."What do you know about that man, Valery?" the grandma did the same as the girl, peeking to see Georgia and Alessandro.Valery hesitated a bit before answering, not sure what she could tell her and what not and didn't want to mess up by saying too much."I don't know him very well, grandma. Georgia met him at work, that's all I know."The grandma frowned and gave her a scathing look, it was clear that Valery was lying, but she knew Valery's loyalty was too great to let any information slip, so instead of asking direct questions, she began to express small concerns hoping to gather more information."In your opinion, do you think he is the right man fo

The food prepared by the chefs was exquisite, the ambiance was romantic and completely wonderful, and of course, the company was incomparable. All of these things made Georgia and Alessandro enjoy an unforgettable evening, a moment that they both would cherish forever in their hearts. Without a doubt, Georgia had never had a date with so many attentions like that, and on the other hand, Alessandro had never made such an effort to please anyone before, except for Thomas's mother, who had disappeared from the man's life a long time ago."This has been completely perfect, thank you so much," said the woman, taking a sip of the wine in her glass."I'm glad you liked it," Alessandro said, shaking Georgia's hand, while a waiter placed the dessert in front of each of them.But what caught Georgia's attention was not how delicious the dessert looked or the beautiful decoration on the plate, but the red velvet box that the waiter had just delivered to Alessandro.Suddenly, the man stood up and

When Alessandro came out of the bathroom, Georgia had tears streaming down her face, her heart beating rapidly as she couldn't help but think about her dream, the warning Doménico gave her, and the reality she was living. For a moment, she felt like a fraud for saying yes to Alessandro even though she knew it wasn't wise. She felt bad for betraying her own principles by accepting to be with a man who had hurt the most valuable thing she had, her parents.Perhaps it wasn't Alessandro himself, but accepting to be with someone who was part of an organization that caused harm to people felt repugnant and disastrous to her, almost as if she were accomplice to a crime."Georgia, is everything okay? What's wrong?" Alessandro tied the towel around his waist, not wanting to walk around the room naked as if nothing was happening when he saw how upset she was.The woman shook her head, unable to speak for a few seconds. She simply held up her phone and showed him the lit screen with the message

"Georgia, is that you, dear?" asked Grandmother Bianca, once Georgia opened the front door of the house."Yes, grandma," she said sadly and apathetically.Georgia looked around, everything looked deserted. If it hadn't been for her grandmother's voice coming from her room, she would have thought the apartment was completely empty."Where's Valery?""She told me she had to go shopping, she promised she wouldn't take long.""Has she been gone for a while?""Oh no! Actually, she didn't want to leave me alone, but we have nothing in this house and she didn't want to order in."Georgia nodded her head - it's true, we have nothing - she said, opening the fridge and finding only a partially empty, slightly stale carton of orange juiceGrandma saw Georgia's distant attitude and that surprised and worried her equally. After having left so happily the night before, she thought she would come back home happier and more splendid than ever. It seemed that date hadn't gone entirely well, but that d

"Grandma, you have too many things in this house!" said Georgia as she went through some of Grandma Bianca's belongings.The two women were in Grandma Bianca's old house, where she had lived before Georgia decided to put her in a nursing home. They were there to clean everything up and sell it. They certainly weren't going to get much money for the property, especially since it was old, a bit deteriorated, and not located in a particularly safe place. But at least Georgia hoped to recover enough to have some savings that would allow them both to live comfortably while she looked for a decent job.So there they were, going through the belongings, trying to decide what to keep and what to throw away. It would be a long task, but neither of them had anything else to do for the rest of the day."Dear, there are many things an old lady can keep throughout her life.""I can see that," she said, sighing.What surprised Georgia the most were the number of memories that Grandma Bianca had accu
