Love and Deceit

I'd woken up just in time to experience the morning wind blow softly from the balcony into our exquisite bedroom; the dew making essence of its presence as the chill breeze caressed the drapes which hung elegantly by the door leading to the outdoor stand-point.

It's going to be a good day, and my journey to Saraceno is promising to be, so-and-so.

Once I'd woken up, my mind drifted first to Antonio and how nice it'd have been to actually walk the route back home with him just like we had both left together, initially.

Well, I can only fantasize about it, because he already mentioned two days prior over the phone that he wasn't ready to visit Parco Saraceno. Nevertheless, I figure that he may have a tangible reason for not wanting to go back yet. Hence, I choose to respect his decision.
