The four hours were almost up, and we hadn't talked much.
Being with Valencia wasn't as bad as I expected, but I still wanted to make it a pleasant experience, especially since we were in the city that had inspired my dreams.
I also wanted to revisit my favorite spots in Milan, so I ended up leading the way, with Valencia quietly following.
I wasn't sure if she was enjoying herself, but at least I felt nostalgic about each place we visited.
First, I bought her lunch at a small trattoria near the canals.
I didn't want to deal with any hunger complaints, and the food was decent.
Then, we strolled through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a magnificent shopping arcade with a glass ceiling and ornate architecture.
Valencia was genuinely impressed, saying she'd never seen anything like it.
Afterwards we went around countless shops since she wanted to buy something, and to my surprise, she even got me a red scarf.
