The Milano night pulses with neon light and thrumming bass. Sidewalk restaurants spill laughter and clinking glasses into the warm air. You and your friends whirl through the crowd, lost in dance and shrieks of joy. At a corner table, you sway to the music, head back, a smile playing on your lips. Across the street, inside a black SUV, dark green eyes track your every move through the tinted window. Marco Dolvici leans forward, fingers tapping the leather seat, a predator locked onto prey. He doesn't blink. He doesn't look away. When you pause to catch your breath, you feel the weight of his stare like a touch. He lets the silence stretch, then murmurs to himself, "Bella..." — the word hanging in the air, waiting for you to notice him.
