Chapter Seventeen

Friedrich had offered to drive me to the airport this morning, but I’d begged him not to. I couldn’t bear another minute of goodbyes. I packed my belongings and snuck out of my room. I rode down the jerky little elevator for the last time, sandwiched between my suitcase and my carry-on. When I stepped into the lobby, Friedrich was nowhere in sight. He’d kept his promise.

I couldn’t tell for sure if I was relieved or disappointed. The young night clerk saw me and, without a word, dragged himself off the couch to start fixing my cappuccino. Just as he finished, Antonio arrived through the glass entry door.

“Ah. Leaving us so early,” he said.

“Si. Gratzia mille for everything.”

Antonio’s mouth alternated back and forth between a smile and a frown as I handed him my keys for the last time.

“You need a cab, Signora Val?”

“No, Vittorio should be here any minute.”

“Arrivederci, signora Val. Buon viaggio.”

Antonio nodded at me, then turned and busied himself with paperwork. I took a seat on the black sofa, sipped my last cappuccino and waited for Vittorio to arrive.
