The Restitution Grapes were a map of survival a family line that had avoided the greed of men like Arthur. "Open it " Sofia urged, her voice a command that cut through the crackle of the hearth fire. I flipped the bronze clasp. It gave way with a snap that seemed to echo in the rafters. Inside nestled in linen that had yellowed to the color of parchment were the small dark seeds of the Restitution Grapes. The Restitution Grapes looked plain to the eye. To us they were the most valuable thing in the Rossi legacy. The Restitution Grapes carried the strength of the high-altitude vines the sweetness of the sun and the stubbornness of a woman who refused to let her heritage be erased.

I dead-panned. Luca broke out in a loud laugh. “Alright, you win. That too.” I couldn't stop the smile that tugged at the corners of my mouth. He knelt down beside the thick cluster of vines, gesturing for me to do the same. I crouched down beside him, and he carefully lifted the cluster of grapes, thumb brushing over their dark skins. “The timing of the harvest is everything,” he explained. “Grapes ripen slowly, gaining more sugar and exquisite flavors as they do.”

Chris nodded and made a beeline for the fridge. He pulled it open and found the grapes in a bag. He pulled it out, closed the door, and took a plate. He poured some grapes into it and turned around to see that Isabelle was already at the breakfast bar. He smiled and placed the plate in front of her. "You took five?" She asked eyeing both the plates and the grapes before she looked up. "Huh?" Chris asked looking down at the plate as well. Indeed, he has absentmindedly taken 5 grapes. He shook his head and muttered a sorry before he pulled it away.

Tera muttered in her thoughts. Tera stepped closer to a bunch of grapes hanging beautifully. The grapes are dark in color and have a natural sweet taste.

Tera inhaled its distinctive aroma and it mingled with the aroma of the fresh leaves that surrounded her.

Needing some fresh air away from the noise and the heat of the crowd, I gladly accepted. Hand in hand, we strolled between the vines under the moonlight. The air was cool and fragrant with the scent of ripe grapes. On impulse, I reached out and plucked a few from a nearby vine. “Ava!” Chris exclaimed in mock horror. “Are you stealing grapes?” I popped one into my mouth, savoring the burst of sweetness. “Maybe. Want one?” He leaned in, opening his mouth. I fed him a grape, my fingers brushing against his lips. He caught my hand and pressed a kiss to my palm.

"He has a sort of tracking device on her." "What? Isn't that illegal?" But Ines had lost interest in this conversation as she turned to head over to the bar, looking over all the assortment of drinks on the shelf before finding satisfaction in the fruit bowel, picking it up in her hands and throwing some grapes into her mouth as she went to go sit on one of the outdoor sunbeds.

Gia, not fond of the open shoulders of the light summer dress, lifted the small straps intended for decoration. The adjustment worked, but every time she moved, the little straps slipped back to their original position, forcing Gia to fix them repeatedly. "Do you come here often? This place is amazing," Gia said, looking to the side. After spending most of her time in London, Gia found the view breathtaking. Vineyards stretched along the road, neatly aligned, with vines intertwined. If she focused, she could see grapes hanging from the vines.

Howard continued, "Charlie is my son. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should care about his future, right? Are you going to let him follow in your footsteps, being a cleaner for the rest of his life, being looked down upon?" I interrupted him, which caught him by surprise, "This cake was meant for Cheryl, right? Charlie inherited my genes. He's allergic to mangoes." The first time I was sent to the emergency hospital after accidentally eating mango, Howard was so worried that he did not sleep the entire night. He cried for half an hour when I woke up. However, later, when Cheryl appeared, there would always be mango in the house. Cheryl was the one who liked cake with fruits. Not

Grandma stood near the potted ferns, adjusting her monocle. "Feed me, my love," Cassian murmured, voice flatter than a balance sheet. Amara plucked a grape. "Here, sunshine!"
