some years passed by and Alberto and Luca grew up. Alberto had become a great employee and adopted son to Massimo,now Giulia's bigger adopted brother. He was now a 21 year old,taller,tanner and stronger,trained by years helping Massimo work,lifting heavy boxes full of fishes he and his new dad had caught the morning and Alberto had to deliver later in the afternoon with his newly and proudly earned vespa. It wasn't the best,it needed some serious repainting and new wheels but it was his,snd he had earned it.

Luca was now 19,since he started going to school he fell in live eith it,starting to go every year with Giulia, leaving Porto Rosso for exactly 205 days,(Alberto counted them). When the summer arrived,he and Giulia would take the train and come back to Massimo and Alberto and every time the sea monster couldn't wait.

over the years Alberto and Luca's bond grew more and more but either of them had enough courage to tell the other their real feelings even if they constantly tried to "shut up Bruno".

Alberto was now in the water,holding a fishnet as he was cutting some pieces of woof that got caught on it while fishing. His strong arms holding one of Massimo's knife,as he cutted with effency until a suddenly sound of footsteps caught his attention. He slowly turned around to see who it was and he froze for a moment as Luca stood there. Had he forgotten today Luca would come back? How could he forgot something so important!?
