“You move differently here.”
“I what?” Giovanni blinked and looked
around as they walked up the Via dei Condotti, past the luxury shops, headed
toward the ristorante where Matt had chosen to meet them after their
walking tour with Ben.
“You move differently.” She slid an arm
around his waist, keeping pace with easy strides. “I don’t know, you’re
more... Italian, I guess.”
“Beatrice, I am a Florentine. I will
always be a Florentine.”
“But see,” she poked his side. “Like
that. In L.A. you would just say you’re Italian. But here, you’re Florentine.”
“So?” He frowned. “I’m in Rome. There
is a difference. Is there something wrong with this?”
“No, it’s cute.”
“Cute?”
“And you walk different, too. You’re
not in as much of a hurry here.”
He just grunted at her, no doubt
thinking she was imagining it, but she wasn’t. He looked... lighter,
somehow. Comfortable. In California, she often thought Giovanni seemed more
British than Italian, but here, he gestured more. His accent was stronger. His
shoulders were more expressive, and his eyes more languorous.
“Whatever it is, it’s hot. So go with
it.”
“Oh?” He grinned. “Is that so?”
“Yes.”
He leaned down and whispered something
very dirty in her ear. If she could have blushed, she would have. Then he
nipped at her ear and murmured, “Does it sound better in Italian?”
“Yes.”
He pinched her waist and kept walking.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
