“WE’RE GOING TO FILM the bathtub scene today so please get ready.” Director Greg shouted and the people started to move quickly. “This way please.” Said Maya who’s been assisting us in the set ever since I started as Dusk’s double. She led me and Caleb in a room with a big tub facing a wide glassed window where you can see the wonderful volcano view. We were staying in an extravagant hotel in Batangas.

Alena asked me to give it to you since she was busy fixing your other dresses.”

Greg says. “Mom’s dad is from Italy. She can’t get enough of this place,” Zach tells him. “The food isn’t American Italian, it’s Tuscan Italian. Very little cheese, only the best olive oil, homemade pastas, and sauces. The tomatoes are grown in the pack land. Twelve acres of them. Second largest employer in the pack, accounts for 5 percent of our pack dues. We pay every time we come, and we tip big. That’s why Mamá serves us herself.” “In the summer, you will see them making paste in the sun. I worked in the fields this past summer. It’s amazing.” I add.

I reached across the table, stacked the two itineraries together, and accepted, with the same cold practicality I had once used on hostile filings, that Tuscany would receive three Rossinis instead of two. The wheels touched down under Italian light. The transfer vehicle held three seats. Thomas pressed his forehead to the window and watched the countryside with the focused satisfaction of a planner whose residual risks column had remained empty for the duration of the flight. Laurabeth’s hand rested in mine between the seats. Ahead of us the stone house waited with its extra bed and its view and its locked door that would, against my original design, have to share a honeymoon with a child w

He sat back, jaw tightening, eyes flicking away from mine. “No one important,” he said, his tone clipped and final. My stomach turned a little, but I didn’t press. Because that wall he just put up? It was concrete. I just nodded slowly, even though my chest ached with curiosity. Whoever it was they mattered. Maybe more than I was supposed to know. * * The air in Tuscany was warmer than I expected not hot, just perfect. The breeze was soft, carrying the scent of wildflowers, sun-warmed earth, and something vaguely fruity probably the nearby vineyards.

Episode 31 – The Italian Villa The heat of the Tuscan sun was a physical weight, a golden blanket that settled over Isabella Rossi’s shoulders as her rental car navigated the final, treacherous curve of the cypress-lined driveway. Before her, the villa emerged from a sea of silver-green olive groves like a vision from a forgotten dream. Villa Sirena was a symphony in weathered sandstone and terracotta, its shutters thrown open to the day, wisteria cascading in fragrant purple waterfalls from its loggias.

Lucian took the window seat, Marcus sat beside him. “You’re not going to try and work while we vaca, are you Buddy?” Lucian smiled at Marcus. “I plan on enjoying myself, Marcus. I have never vacationed before so you will probably have to show me the ropes.” Marcus gave a huge grin. “You bet, man. I rented us a small villa outside of Tuscany. It’s far enough in the country as to be private, yet it is close enough to a few towns so we can go have fun. No tourist hotels for us. Trust me, we won’t be bored, Lucian.
