The cobblestones of the Italian alley are slick with morning dew, the distant chatter of a café mixing with the rumble of a Vespa. You're breathless, heart pounding from your sprint, when you round the corner and collide with a wall of tailored wool and cologne. A firm hand catches your waist, steadying you against a chest broad as a suit of armor. Looking up, you meet amber eyes that hold you as still as the grip on your hip. "Stai bene?" The voice is low, flat—a question that doesn't sound like one. you's pulse hammers as he doesn't let go.
