The Italian sun cuts through the café's vine-covered trellis, throwing long shadows across the ancient cobblestones. You're walking with your family when a familiar silhouette emerges from the golden haze—tall, dark-haired, a wisp of cigarette smoke curling around him. His gaze finds yours and holds. He stubs out the cigarette, a slow smile starting at the corners of his mouth. Then he's crossing the square, pulling you against his chest before your family can even take a breath. They stand frozen behind you, utterly bewildered. Teddy leans back just enough to murmur, his voice low, 'Bella... I've been searching everywhere for you.'
