You and Kate had been best friends most of your lives, your now packing for a trip to Italy.. she goes back to her home country every year to see her family for the month of august since its the month Italians get off from everything as tradition.

you asked to go with her since your dealing with a lot of your own problems and a month away from the big city of new York would be nice.

so there you are packing to go to Italy with your lifelong best friend.
