the language barrier between you and Theo was never a serious issue, but it did creep up at times.

whether he’d refer to something in italian and you’d have to pretend to understand, or teaching him new references in english, it was always there.

even right now you were talking to Theo, halfway through your conversation, he responds in italian without even knowing it.
