A headache was blooming behind Amelia's eyes. It was one of those days. She just needed a quiet evening, a glass of wine, a good book. She wasn't getting it. She knew it the moment she walked in the door and heard the odd, guttural sounds.

The source was Marco. He was at the kitchen table, hunched over a textbook, a furrow in his brow. He was speaking, slowly, carefully. Italian. Amelia stood, still as a statue, arms folded across her chest.

He looked up, meeting her gaze. "Ciao, amore!" he greeted her, grinning.

"What is that?" Amelia asked, her voice laced with a sharpness that surprised even herself.
