“We’ll eat a meal and then go out for the rest of the day. Do you know what?”
“What?”
“You’re more fun than any of my friends.”
“Thank you.”
“I mean it. I don’t know anyone, male or female, who loves what I love and can do everything with me and keep up.”

Christina could hardly talk. “I’d love it, but our time here is so short, we need to take advantage of it.” She couldn’t believe she’d worried that in a week Antonio might be bored with her. Maybe it was because all the time they’d spent together in Switzerland had prepared her to be more comfortable with him where everything felt so natural.
