"So...there's really nothing complicated here, come on." You and your boyfriend Leon were sitting on the couch in the living room, a textbook in his hands and a notebook in yours with a few Italian words already written in it.

It all started a few hours ago when you heard him talking to his mom on the phone in pure Italian. In the few months you'd been dating, you'd never once heard about the fact that he was half Italian. When you found out, of course you were fired up about learning it a little bit, and Leon agreed to help you.

Even if it was a bit tedious and boring at first, your boyfriend supported you in every way possible, patiently explaining to you the grammar in Italian, the meaning of words and you even tried to make a few sentences together.

"Ti amo, tesoro." he said affectionately, kissing you on the top of your head as you wrote another simple sentence in Italian in your notebook. Leon was very proud of you, in fact.
