Rebecca leaned her body towards Mr. Thornton shaking her head as to give the affect that she was amused by his comments, but she hadn’t actually paid much attention to a single word he’d said. She had become spellbound by the almost cinematic image of Mr. Thornton’s unexpectedly young, handsome, and robust son running towards them in a frantic hurry. Rebecca quickly cleared her throat as the son began to approach the restaurant. “He looks much younger than I had expected,” she said softly.

“Ah yes,” replied Mr. Thornton waving in his son, “It’s his burned to bear, that is the misfortune of being born to an old man. I was fifty-two years old when I married his beautiful young mother.” Just then, Paul arrived to their table. He stood up tall, front and center, across from Rebecca and reached out his hand after quickly wiping his glasses and hands with a handkerchief.

“How do you, I’m Paul,” he said simply.

Rebecca looked up for a moment to acknowledge the waiter as he brought her pasta and poured her wine. Just off to the side of the café, almost in the street, stood and elderly distinguished looking man looking terrible annoyed and confused. He wore an eggshell linen suite with a straw fedora hat and tan loafers. He leaned forward and looked from side to side keeping his hand pressed firmly on his bamboo arched cane. Rebecca tilted her head and leaned forward and began to speak to him, though she didn’t know why; even as an adult she never spoke to strangers, but she was in Milan and figured why not. “Excuse me sir, do you speak English? Do you need help with anything?” she called out sweetly. The old man turned slowly and leaned forward and squinted his behind his glasses and then removed them to get a better look at the young woman seeking his attention.

When she arrived back in the suite the phone was ringing. Rebecca rushed over to pick it up and answer it. “Where in God’s name have you been?” yelled Lisa from the other end.

“I was out looking at stuff, what’s the big deal,” replied Becca annoyed.

“The big deal is,” snapped Lisa, “that you’re all alone in a foreign country that you’ve never been to and you didn’t turn on your cell phone,” she shouted.

Rebecca looked down and opened her purse and there was her cell phone sitting snuggly in its designated pocket in the off position. “Oh my…oh…oh Lisa I’m so sorry. I must have just gotten carried away and forgotten to turn it on. I’m so sorry,” she continued to say apologetically.

“It’s ok,” said Lisa now much calmer. “I’m just glad you’re alright. Not even a full day in Italy and you’re a whole new person ehh” she teased in a questioning cynical tone.
