This is a beautifully executed short story. The moods experienced by both Sam & Lauro, as well as those radiated from the Italian setting, were vividly portrayed. The author deftly maneuvers the reader through such issues as: miscommunication! avoidance of truth! assumptions! impetuousness! bravado! and... poor knowledge of Italian numerals ;-) to bring us a genuinely engaging story of true love. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly engaged with the clever plot twists (and readily admit to face-palming at one point). Love that the end was sweet yet indistinct - it left me breathless, smiling and daydreaming about what the next move for these two was going to be.Thank you Harper for transporting me to Rome and her surrounding countryside in the company of Sam and Lauro  :-)
