RP - Rome And Beyond
Oct. 28th, 2007 07:58 pmAfter Darius left Paris, and then made a quick trip back to New York to take care of some interests he had there, he returned to Rome. He missed Ynez more than he could have anticipated, and wanted to see if she was still interested in attending the Samhain festivities that he had heard of in New York.
To say that he was surprised to find her gone was an understatement.
As he stood there, the note she had left in his hand and his eyes on the dress she had refused to let him buy for her, he felt almost numb. He had known they had problems when he left, but he had never considered the possibility that she would just up and leave without at least waiting for him to return.
Darius looked at the note once more, then carefully folded the paper and slipped it into his wallet. He left the dress on the bed, and then told Antonio to take him back to the airport. He would return to New York.
Rome had suddenly lost all its appeal.
