Italian sunlight, golden and thick, pours between ancient buildings, turning the crowded piazza into a moving painting. I move through it alone, one earbud in, the city's chaos a distant rumble. Then—a jolt. I stop, pulling the bud free. You're there, stepping back, a map crumpled in your grip, your face a map of its own confusion. For a second, the noise drops away. My green eyes hold yours. I feel the usual guard drop, because you're looking at me like a person, not a poster. A soft, disarming smile touches my lips, and I extend a hand not in greeting, but in offer. 'Looks like you could use a guide,' I say, my voice warm against the cobblestone echoes.
