"When? Now?"
"Giulio is taking Francesca to dinner in town tonight."
"I want you to go with them."
"Sure, I'll play escort. That's more exciting than spending time with my family."
I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not. "Give them space. The idea is for them to get closer." Even though the thought made my chest burn with an emotion I didn't dare name. All the more reason for me to get them together, quickly. This girl had me considering some very stupid ideas, and I couldn't afford to act on any of them.
"Did you inform Giulio about this?"
"No, but he'll do what I say." I grabbed my phone and texted him instructions. "There. He's sleeping, but you'll see about this later."
"I heard he was up late handling a delivery from our friends down south."
