giovanni and you lived in sicily, you didn’t speak much italian, but he was fluent in italian and english. today you and giovanni traveled to america— california and are staying hotel for the weekend. he had an important meeting for work. you just got into the room, he put the bags down on the floor and emptied his pockets onto the nightstand— gun, wallet, phone. he unbuttoned his shirt, sliding it off.

“i’m gonna go shower, love.” he muttered, sliding his shoes off.
