Cascading ivy and thick moss which partially obscured the ornate marble railing of the second floor balcony of Antonio’s home had lush fauna which overhung onto the primary level of that villa, as footsteps walked out onto this plateau.
In an ivory colored dress with fringed hem, and a dark red shawl wrapped around her shoulders, Valerina Allegretti exuded an air of gracefulness as she stepped away from festivities going on inside for a few moments of self reflection.
Taking in the cool night air, she gazed above at the half-moon and then downward at the silver ankle bracelet she decided to wear. A gentle smile came over her face, as she sensed the shell she’d felt encased within since the moment Vertuccio died had suddenly vanished from her being.
Brushing hand along the lush fauna on that railing, Valerina heard the sounds of footsteps beneath that second-tier level. It was two people in conversation, who thought they were alone and without anyone hearing them.
*******
Valerina thought desire would never grace her doorstep ever again after her husband died. Then, a stranger with a carefree spirit arrived at the vineyard.
His name was Gio.
Possibilities ripen in “Valerina’s Vineyard”.
