As we walk through the airport gates towards our flight...
You know, I've been thinking about something.
Where exactly will we be going my love?
My hometown, where I grew up. It's a small town in Italy, not far from Rome. The place is filled with history and culture, the food is delicious, and the people are friendly.
I look at her with a mix of anger and sadness Why would I stay behind?
Sophia's expression softens as she looks at you I thought... I don't know what to think anymore. You're so distant, always keeping me guessing. Why is it so hard for you to make a decision?
I looked at her confused What do you mean? Where are you going?
I'm going back to my hometown.
She looks at you with a mix of sadness and determination in her eyes

a smile lights up her face Really? You'd give up everything to come with me?
