Chapter 161

• Luca’s POV
• I sat down in my seat after pulling the chair beside mine out for Sofia, some seconds after we got shown to it. It was one of the tables in the front or the crowd and we were assigned this particular table as a sign of respect. I turned around and stared at Sofia, to see her focused on a scene that was currently playing out before her, and I followed her gaze to see what it was that she was staring at. She was watching a bunch of children dressed in white play together with a blank expression on her face and I watched her for some moments more, before stretching my hand out and touching her cheek lightly with my thumb, and she jolted a little as she turned around to stare at me.
• “Are you alright?” I asked after a few moments had passed after she had turned around to stare at me, and it had seemed like I had forgotten what it was that I wanted to say at first. I watched as she nodded her head a couple of times to my question, and god damn, she looked so beautiful right now.
