The hostess, Maria, a middle-aged Spanish woman with a radiant smile, led them to their reserved table, tucked away in a cozy corner of the restaurant. A long, weathered wooden table stretched out before them, adorned with flickering candles in delicate glass holders, casting a warm, flickering glow on the faces of the other diners.

"There's no way you can leave with singora Aria without eating. Besides, you both came way after dinner yesterday, so eat up." "But you don't even know me so well," I said honestly. "Apprezzo davvero la vostra gentilezza." She smiled warmly. "Oh, it's nothing. Any friend of heather is a friend to us. Mother, or otherwise." "Then my mother will be so pleased with her hospitality." I smiled. "Good morning Anziano." she greeted the oddly staring man as he joined us. "What's the occasion?" He asked, totally ignoring my presence. "It's unlike you Bianca, you're up early."

"My...My makeup's...gonna be ruined now but fuck it." "Do you really want to right here? I mean I was thinking afterwards."
