I run down to meet Floriana who is breathless from her hike. She stops in the road, the last light at her back. Prickles of rain cling to her unkerchiefed, loosened hair, capturing in her the flickering russet frame of it.

We talk for a minute and Barlozzo passes us by like a boy too shy to speak to two girls at once.
