Va bene. Have a good day, Fratello.

Do not worry, mia cara. It is my life, and I have to deal with it.

A little fun never killed anyone, no? 😘

It will be a hard pill to swallow at first. You will get used to it eventually… you got lucky, and got a good position afterwards. Use it wisely, please.

Ah. How did that go? I hope good.

Eh, well, that is your own fault, Fratello. Perhaps you should lower your caffeine intake, no? What is making you drink that much?

Perhaps I will. I do not know if I will be welcomed by, eh… the new guy. I do not want to ruin his momentum, you know?

Did you pass out after the fourth? How come do you not remember, huh?

I have a feeling I am doomed to be alone, forever. I am making my peace with it. I can have fun in the meantime, no?

What do you mean, Sister? A kiss is a quick fix.

I feel needy today. Mi dispiace, I know it is out of character of me lately. Perhaps it is the loneliness that I feel.

Lolita, by Adrian Lyne.

That is wonderful to hear. Enjoy it while it lasts. Clearly, none of us can stay there for too long. It will be gone in a blink of an eye.

That is quite rude, no? I should start doing the same to you!

Why are you sticking your tongue out to me, eh?

Sì, some people get them because of it. Prone to them and whatnot. Luckily, I am not one of them.

I miss touring, it kept my life exciting.

Not really. Relaxing, mostly. Not that I am complaining, though. It has been very nice to enjoy my days under the sun, reading books, and playing some piano.

How did that go? I hope well, I have not been keeping up. That is well deserved time off then, Sister.

It is a Monday today, that is quite a treat. I am a little bit jealous.

We do? Oh yum. I will go look for it now.

Ho bisogno di un bacio. Bah, ma dai.

For starters, your body takes longer to hydrate from it, and they can give you migraines easier. Amongst other things. Room temp water is the way.

Good choice. Both of them. What popsicle? I feel like I could have a lemon flavored one right now.

How much coffee?

Definitely room temperature. Ice water should be illegal.

Sì? What would your favorite dessert be?

That sounds peaceful. Enjoy it Cardinale.

Something cold? Like ice cream? I love sweet things.

Sounds like you have started your morning off with a slow pace. Sounds perfetto to me, Mondays can be a drag. You could get yourself a “sweet treat” later to make up for it, no? I would.

Ah, wonderful. You will be taking the rest of the day off, sì?
