Chapter 5

The Festival of Love had finally arrived, casting a spell of enchantment over the city of Rome. It was a night pulsating with anticipation, and I couldn't wait to immerse myself in its whimsical allure. With my sister Jasmine as my one and only , we embarked on a new experience that promised to be unforgettable.

We arrived at the festival grounds, the air electric with excitement. Colorful lights illuminated the night sky, casting a magical glow over the busy streets. The sound of laughter and music filled the air as people enjoyed themselves in the festivities. Everywhere I looked, there were vibrant displays, fun games, and mouth watering treats.

Jasmine and I dove headfirst into the whirlwind of excitement, exploring every nook and cranny of the festival. We tried our luck at the carnival games, competing with fervor and laughter. Cotton candy stuck to our fingers as we strolled through rows of food stalls, indulging in delicious treats that made our taste buds go crazy .

As the night progressed, I couldn't shake off the tingling anticipation of seeing Alessandro once again. He had been on my mind since our last encounter, and I hoped fate would bring us together amidst the festival's energy. Jasmine, always the confidante, urged me to take the lead and make my move.

Determined to seize the moment, I spotted Alessandro in the distance, his striking presence impossible to miss. My heart raced as I made my way toward him, a mix of nerves and excitement swirling within me. Jasmine winked, silently cheering me on from a nearby photo booth.

With a deep breath, I approached Alessandro, with a coy smile on my lips. "Hey there, cutie. Care to join us?"

His eyes gleamed with intrigue as he welcomed my playful invitation. "I'd be delighted to spend time with a pretty girl like you," he responded, a subtle smile dancing on his lips as he affectionately ruffled my hair.
