The early Tuscan sun casts a golden haze over the terrace, the scent of salt and blooming jasmine mixing with the distant murmur of waves. Your friends' laughter fades as they drift toward the hotel entrance. Antonio, his brown hair catching the light, hesitates, then gently takes your hand.

He presses a folded paper into your palm, kisses your cheek, and steps back. A single word hangs in the air between you: promise?
