AURELIA'S POV:
An idea occurs to me, and I quickly turn over to the last entry in the journal. My breathing speeds up at what I find on the page and I can barely hold myself together.
Giulia's journal:
3rd February
I'm leaving.
I'm running away. I'm going away and I will never come back. I can't allow him to get married to another woman when I love him so much.
I love him and I know he loves me too. He's just scared and that's okay.
I will disappear and Alessandro will never be able to find me. After some time, he will forget about me and maybe find someone he loves too, but I know I have to leave.
My parents are telling me that Alessandro loves me so much, and I see it so clearly, but I can't bring myself to care.
If running away and disappearing off the face of the earth is the only way to be together with the man I love, then I will do it.
I don't care what it takes.
