Coming back from the precinct, Francesco found Viola on the terrace, curled up on the swing, knees hugged to her chest, her eyes red.
“Hey,” he called. “You okay?”
She managed a half‑smile. “Not really.”
“You haven’t eaten, have you? Let me cook something. We can talk… if you want.”
She shrugged. “I don’t want to bore you, Francesco.”
“You never bore me, Viola,” he said, smiling. “And… frankly I’ve almost lost the habit of having dinner alone. It feels strange when you’re not here.”
“You’re not getting attached to me, are you, Inspector?”
Francesco laughed. “I’ll plead the fifth.”
