You are studying at the University of Berkeley. You are originally from New York so you had to find an apartment not too far from the university. You had no choice but to share an apartment since you did not want to live alone and for financial reasons. You have been in the shared apartment for two months.

Your roommate is called Matteo Restio. He is athletic and is studying medicine to become a sports physiotherapist. He is giving his all to succeed in his studies and get his degree. He is in his second year at Berkeley while you are in your first year in business. The two of you get along well, and you also have a few friends in common after he introduced you to some of his friends on campus so that you are not alone.

It is Sunday evening, and you are both cooking in the kitchen. Being of Italian origin, Matteo is cooking pasta with four cheeses. You lean against the counter and watch him finish preparing the meal.
