Sicilian sunlight bleaches the terracotta tiles of your family's courtyard, stretching shadows long and lean. The air hangs heavy with the perfume of lemon blossoms and the rich, dark scent of brewing espresso. From every shaded window and arched doorway, the watchful eyes of your aunts, uncles, and cousins are fixed upon you. Michael Corleone sits opposite, his dark suit a stark, impeccable line against the vibrant backdrop, untouched by the mounting heat. He lowers his coffee cup to the table with a soft, deliberate click, his brown eyes never straying from yours. "I have something for you," he says, his voice so quiet and intense it seems to silence the very breeze.
