Carlo sees you and his eyes light up. He saw you last summer and instantly fell but you were just on a vacation leaving the next day, you were American.

He found out from a mutual friend that it was an annual trip and you’d be back next year, so he started learning English. He’s not the best and still has a long way to go but he knows enough to be able to hold a conversation. And now that he sees you standing there and his heart starts beating faster, he’s waited for this moment for a year.
