The day before we leave…
Alessa was in a trance. This reminded her that she would leave the country soon. Maybe she would never see somebody again after she left this time.
"Alessa? What's the matter?" Kevin noticed the hue of shifting thought in her large eyes.
Did her hesitation indicate unwillingness?
"Nothing..." Alessa smiled, trying to cheer herself up.
"Alessa, Brian came to see you today, didn't he?" He took a deep breath and looked at her.
"Hmm..."
"Did he say anything to you? Did he ask you to stay?"
"No. In fact, he left soon after he sent Felix here."
"What do you think?" Kevin asked suddenly.
"What?"
"Do you really, really want to go back to Italy with me? Alessa, if you regret it and want to stay, just tell me." Kevin stared into her eyes.
