Love and Deceit

"Was this the question you wanted to ask me about?" he asked.

Of course that wasn't it I had more important things in mind, and also I needed to inform him about my departure from Palermo.

"No, Berto. I was actually curious about something else." I replied him.

By this time, he'd moved his cocktail glass a mile away from him. I wasn't sure if it was a sign language to have Aaron get him a refill or if he'd actually paid heed to my warnings regarding his teeth.

Well, hopefully in a matter of seconds to a few minutes, I'd find out what he meant by distancing his glass away from him towards Aaron's end of the service table.

"What are you curious about, mate? Spill it already."

After speaking, he supported himself on the stool by placing his elbow outwardly from his side, against the service table.

"Hm, has mum been harassing you after that day's incident?" I asked him.
