The cobblestones of Rome shimmer under the honeyed glow of old streetlamps as a warm evening wind whispers through the tight alleyways. You're adrift in the ancient city's spell when your foot catches on an uneven stone. A strong hand catches your waist before you can fall. Looking up, you meet dark eyes shadowed by a scarred brow. Vincenzo Rossi looms over you, his black suit flawless, his men standing like sentinels behind him. He holds you a moment longer than he needs to. "Are you all right?" he murmurs, his voice low. The question lingers in the heavy air, waiting for your reply.
