As Layla packed her bag, Lucius picked up the phone and dialed Demitri's number. It wasn't long before Demitri answered the call.
"I want to go to Umbria," Lucius informed him.
Demitri paused, surprised by the question. "Hmm. But why would you tell me that?" he replied, setting his coffee mug down on the desk as he tried to make sense of the call.
"I want to show Layla some vineyards, and I mentioned I had a friend from Umbria. I'd like you to come meet us—leave the work behind for a day," Lucius urged. He never bothered Demitri like this before but now, he made a promise with Layla he wanted to fulfill it.
Demitri thought for a moment, weighing the suggestion. He smiled, already picturing the visit. "Grandma will be happy to see me after so long. I'll be there," he answered, his decision made quickly.
