Matteo ran across the road, but she was no longer there. Scrambling among the crowd, he tried desperately to fish her out. He finally saw a girl with a white hoodie, her head bent as she walked languidly. It was the hoodie she had worn the day she met him at the field.
Running towards her, he took off the hoodie.
"What are you doing?" came an unfamiliar voice. The lady turned, revealing that she was on her phone. It wasn't Rosalie.
"I'm so sorry," he apologized.
He turned around, holding his head. He kept searching the crowd, but he didn't see Rosalie.
After searching the whole street, he sat down in a deserted lane. Tears trickled down his face as he called Rosalie's name repeatedly.
He didn't even know if that was a hallucination or if he really saw her.
Alessia called again, and he picked up this time.
