Cesare Lambert was having a bad day.
He had traveled with Mariama to Switzerland to snowboard by himself and had no plans to interact with anyone on the retreat. He came along just in case Mariama needed him.

Emotions that he thought he had bottled up were quickly emerging, especially hope that this time, it could be different between them.
