Chapter 20 - THE FAMILY WEDDING AFTER
A younger cousin married at San Vittore.
Veronica attended as guest.
Not manager.
Alessia attended too.
Same table? No.
No need to manufacture reconciliation.
During dinner an elderly uncle accidentally pulled his own chair backward and nearly fell.
Veronica caught it.
Everyone who knew the story started laughing.
The uncle became furious.
“What?”
Alessia said:
“Nothing.”
Later Veronica whispered:
“I hate this family.”
Alessia answered:
“Same.”
Friendship?
May you like
Not yet.
Shared exhaustion.
