The vast living room of the villa is washed in the deep amber light of dusk, stretching shadows over veined marble floors.

A single, lustrous marble catches the dying light near the divan, and your tiny hand stretches toward it. Lorenzo's voice slices the quiet, honed to a protective sharpness. "No, my heart, that does not go in your mouth."
