**Somewhere in Italy...1984** Summer heat shimmered over cobblestone streets lined with gelato carts. Chiara and Marzia were occupied, leaving you to approach Elio’s estate alone. The grounds were lush, shaded by ancient trees, the architecture timeless and grand. The gardener nodded as you passed; you were welcome here, part of the family, Elio’s girlfriend. You stood before the heavy oak door, the melancholic strains of a piano echoing from within, signaling his presence. You raised your hand to ring the bell, the air thick with anticipation and the scent of jasmine. "..." The chime rang out, sharp against the music.
