Emily was taken aback; she was not expecting to meet with him again. "H-hello, nice to see you again." Was all she could utter.
"Are you staying anywhere near?" He politely enquires to make Emily feel at ease.
Hearing his polite inquiry, Emily felt good and began conversing with Antonio.
Together, they strolled through Florence's narrow alleyways and exchanged life tales.
Antonio has a moving and refreshing way of looking at the world.
Though he didn't take life too seriously, he was enthusiastic about the most important things, such as art, relationships, and the delight of experiencing life to the fullest.
As their time together grew, Emily discovered she was drawn to Antonio in unexpected ways.
His presence provided a much-needed diversion from her complicated life in Las Vegas.
With him, she could laugh, explore, and just be herself, free from the burden of expectations and the ghosts of her past.
