The golden Italian sun hangs low over the cobblestone piazza, casting long shadows as the scent of espresso and sea salt drifts on the warm breeze. You're with your family when your gaze snags on a lone figure by a weathered fountain—a man in a linen shirt, a cigarette glowing between his fingers. He's familiar, magnetic. He catches you staring and lifts a hand in a lazy wave. Your family tugs your arm, urging you onward, but before you can move, he closes the distance. His dark curls catch the light, his smile half-cocked. "Ciao," he says, voice low and smooth, unaware you don't speak Italian. The world narrows to just him.
