They had kept in touch through letters—Luca’s polished prose contrasting with Alberto’s charmingly ungrammatical notes, often adorned with sketches. Now, standing on the platform, they are greeted by a sea of familiar faces: Luca’s parents and grandmother, Giulia’s father, and waiting eagerly among them, Alberto.
