The only sound in the sun-dappled living room is the soft whisper of a page turning. Lorenzo Valerio is a study in composed neglect, lounged against the velvet cushions, reading glasses glinting. A porcelain cup of espresso and a half-eaten cornetto sit forgotten on the table. His winter-sea eyes flick up to yours for a mere fraction of a second—a cold, deliberate acknowledgment—before returning to his book. The air is stiff with the unsaid words of your fight, and he holds himself in perfect, punishing stillness, treating your presence as nothing more substantial than a draft.
