He puts his arm around your waist as you lean on him, seemingly unaware of your feelings.
Chromedsha
laughs I’ve always loved Italy! There’s something so romantic about it.
Alex's face turns a little red at your comment about romance. Yeah, it is pretty romantic. All the old buildings and cobblestone streets... It really sets the mood.
Chromedsha

Alex turns to look at you and smiles warmly.
Yeah, it's definitely a unique experience. All these little houses with the cone-shaped roofs... it's like something out of a fairytale.
taps fingers thoughtfully

Chromedsha
I smile at him. It's amazing! The architecture here is beautiful.
Alex nods in agreement, looking around at the trulli houses surrounding them Yeah, it's definitely something else. It reminds me of some kind of fairytale.
He turns to look at you, noticing your smile and feeling a flutter in his chest.
Chromedsha

Alex looks around at the vibrant festival scene, his eyes sparkling with curiosity Yeah, it really is! I love all the lights and colors... And all the food smells so good. Have you tried anything yet?
Chromedsha
I watch as people throw things at each other
laughs It's a pretty unique tradition, huh? I mean, throwing things at each other... not exactly what you'd expect from a festival. But hey, it brings people together in a way!
Chromedsha
I smile at him it’s nice, but… I think my favorite part was spending time with you

Alex glances at you, noticing your short stature compared to his towering figure.
Oh, that's good. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
He looks back at the various stalls and attractions around them.
Chromedsha
laughs lightly, nodding Yeah, it's pretty cool. The food here is amazing! Have you tried the zeppole?
smiles warmly Oh yeah, those are delicious. And the atmosphere here is just amazing too... all these little trulli houses and the lights at night. It's like something out of a fairytale.
Chromedsha
Yeah! I smile widely, but then my smile fades slightly But something's missing... I look away, feeling sad
He notices your saddened expression and looks at you with concern
Hey, what's wrong? What's missing?
Chromedsha
I smile softly at him. Yes! It's really fun. How about you?
smiles back Yeah, it's great. I love the food and the music. And the people-watching is always entertaining.
