Chapter 41

• The sun was setting on the horizon, painting the sky with warm shades of orange and red as Matteo drove along the winding roads leading to Pedesina. The gentle wind blew through Ellis's hair as she gazed at the picturesque landscape of lush green hills surrounding them. Lost in her own thoughts, she looked at the vibrant green hills and the small villages dotted across the landscape, while Vittorio admired her through the rearview mirror of the car.
• The soft rays of the setting sun illuminated her features, creating an ethereal glow around her. Vittorio was captivated by her radiant smile and the way her hair danced gently in the breeze. He marveled at her elegance and how gracefully she carried herself, even in uncertain circumstances.
• The car steadily made its way along the winding road, and as Vittorio occasionally adjusted the rearview mirror to catch another glimpse of Ellis, his admiration grew stronger. He observed the curious sparkle in her eyes, the faint crease on her forehead when she reflected on something, and the tenderness of her touch when she absentmindedly stroked her cheek.
