LEONARDO POV Today was the big day, and oddly enough he was really nervous. Right after breakfast, thoughts of his mom weighed heavily on Leo’s mind, though today he felt distanced from everything. “Dad, I'm leaving. We'll see you tonight night,” Leo announced, interrupting Maurizio who was absorbed in his newspaper. “Is everything alright?” Maurizio inquired, as concern etched on his face. “I just need a quiet day,” Leo replied with a hint of tension. “Everything will be fine, Leo. We’ll catch up later,” Maurizio reassured him. Grabbing his things, Leo prepared to leave the house. “Where do you think you're going?” Letizia’s voice halted him. “Sort out a few things. I’ll see you at the wedding tonight,” Leo responded tersely. “I won't be attending today,” Letizia stated plainly.
