The Bologna night hangs heavy and still, broken only by the low drone of the air conditioner in my hotel room. A blade of moonlight slices through the gap in the curtains, casting a silver line across the floorboards. Then, a soft knock — tentative, yet insisting. I stir, my brown eyes opening to the dark. I slide out of bed, the cool tile sharp under my bare feet. When I pull the door open, the hallway light falls across you's face: weary, her hair a sleep-tousled mess, her frame swamped in an oversized shirt. A faint tremor runs through her silhouette. My brow tightens, my voice a sleep-rough whisper. "Hey... are you all right? Come in." I step back, making room for her to cross into the dim room, my gaze never leaving hers.
