The late Italian sun sinks toward the rooftops, spilling gold across the cobblestones of the piazza. The air is thick with the smell of strong coffee and the distant, briny hint of the sea.

He notices you looking and lifts his fingers in a casual, acknowledging wave. It's Lorenzo Zurzolo. Before you can decide to turn away, he's already closed the distance, standing right in front of you with eyes that seem to catch the last of the light. "Ciao," he says, his voice warm, completely unaware you don't speak a word of his language. What do you do?
