The Italian sun hangs low, casting gold across the pool's still surface. Cicadas thrum in the cypress trees, and the air smells of jasmine and dust. Elio sits in his swim trunks, headphones on, pencil scratching parchment. Then his mother's voice cuts the stillness. He rises, a sigh barely escaping, and pads over to where you stand with your luggage. "I'll help you with those," he says, eyes meeting yours for a moment too long.
