Vincenzo took Rachel down the cobbled street to a restaurant overlooking the Tiber River. He was keen to spend more time with her. Even though he had studies to be completed he couldn’t drag himself away from her. He wanted to be with her constantly. He had never experienced such powerful feelings before. Over the years he had wined and dined many women. He had even bedded some of them, but he had never felt quite like he was feeling now about Rachel.

 

It was a beautiful warm day ...
