Max never talks about Trista. He writes about the cooperative, what’s happening at the refinery and life at the villa. Considering my stay was so short, the connections I made feel so very strong, as if their lives touch mine. I can’t stop myself caring about their day-to-day concerns. I love to hear how the cooperative is growing and Max is, I think, grateful to have someone to share his news with, who understands how important it is to him. I cursor down the screen looking for his name and, sure enough, about a dozen items below Bella’s latest email, he’s there.

Buongiorno, Ellie

I promised you a photo of Piero’s newest sculpture. He says it’s not for sale, unless his favourite English lady finds the perfect setting for it. He now regards you as little short of a patron saint for his family. The building work has already begun on the extension and Piero will have a little bungalow that will be quite separate from the family home.

The villa is busy and we are down to our last two rooms. Everyone is helping out, even one of the cousins I’d never met before. There is a feeling of optimism here at the moment that changes the whole ambience. People are busy and happy to be busy. And the harvest is looking good.

I will miss Bella, though. She deserves a holiday and I know that it’s long overdue. But she says she came here to escape her family, which I find rather curious, as she seems to fit right in and has become close to us all. Here, of course, the fact that her mother is still remembered with great fondness means she is only one step removed from a family association, anyway.

Today is a good day. Catch me up on your news if and when you can. I wish you could drop by for a coffee on the terrace. Maybe next time.

Fino a quando ci incontriamo di nuovo,

Max
