AS I APPROACHED the door, I heard talking followed by the laughter of my sweet grandmother. Funny how as she got older, many things about her had changed except the tone and pitch of her laughter. When I think back to my childhood, it was Nonnina who always knew what I needed. She would gauge how upset I was about my parent’s divorce or something at school and could tell if I needed an ear to listen or a laugh.

When I had to talk things out, she always seemed to have a plate of her warm, delicious Zeppole that I loved. But when I needed a laugh, she’d stop at nothing to put a smile on my face. From a staring contest to dancing around her kitchen using a dishtowel as a veil, she’d do whatever was needed to make me happy. If nothing else worked, her laughter would break me and make my day better. It was infectious. She was infectious. I dreaded the day when I no longer had her laughter in my life.

Assuming the other voice in the room was a staff person, I walked in at the same time I knocked on the door. I looked up and was shocked to see Nonnina in her wheelchair holding hands with a gentleman of her generation. He looked at her with great affection while she looked at him adoringly. Seeing her with a man who wasn’t my grandfather didn’t shock me. Nonno had passed away of a massive heart attack when I was fifteen. It was the gleam in her eye as she stared at her friend that surprised me. I’d only seen it shine in the direction of my grandfather. I made as much noise as possible to break the spell between them.

“Oh, Sophia! I’m so glad you’re here,” Nonnina said.

I walked further into the room and placed the bags I was carrying on the dresser. “I’m not too sure about that. By the looks of things, you’re very happy with the company you already have.” I winked.

She waved her hand dismissing my comment as nonsense. “I want you to meet my friend, Herbert. Herbert this is my beautiful granddaughter.”

The elderly man stood as any gentleman would. He didn’t appear to be that much taller than Nonnina who barely reached five foot two inches. He wore the sweet old man uniform, a pair of ill-fitting khaki pants, a button-down white shirt, a red cardigan, and bright white tennis shoes. But he also had a touch of flare with the red and white striped bowtie around his neck.

Holding out his wrinkled hand, he said, “So very nice to meet you. Giavanna has told me so much about you.”

We shook hands. “It’s great meeting you as well. My grandmother has kept you her dirty little secret, though.”

“Sophia Giavanna, non essere sciocco,” Nonnina scolded teasingly.

I rested my hands on my hips. “I’m not being silly, Nonnina. You’ve been holding out on me.”

Her smile widened as her cheeks turned red.

“I should let you ladies have your time together.
