Love and Deceit

Like a flash, it has been three days already since I left Palermo.

Here... at home, my Pa has finally begun to warm up to me just like my auntie said that he would.

Also, Antonio had used Guillermo's phone to place a call through to me last night, and I was extremely excited about hearing from him.

He sounded very calm over the phone, and it was nice to ascertain that he had gotten the whole Sebastian incident behind him.

I mean, it would have been very cool if he was around me but we'd have enough time to catch up once I return and he gets to resume work at the Magnífico... that should suffice for the lost times.

Presently though... I am home alone.

My aunt went somewhere to see someone or some people... er... don't really have all the details. Then my Pa went out also with the aid of his walking stick, to go visit one of his old time friends...
