A Request Part I
POV Serafina.
My day began with a knock on my bedroom door. I was still asleep, I didn't even know what time it was, but when I saw Greta enter the room with the doctor, I knew it was still morning. Behind them, Gio appeared, and behind Gio, old Luca with his children. Everyone worried about Mrs. Serafina. Everyone except the coward. He should have been the first one to walk through that door because, thanks to his selective deafness, I ended up stuck on the floor with a nail in my foot. He had to come to take care of me.
They acted as if it had been a tragic accident, but then I remembered, looking at them, that I acted just like them. Even while the doctor removed the bandage and checked me, I cried.
The truth is, I was quite a coward when it came to these things.
