as bad as she had thought.
She looked at Alex who had laid down again with a smile on his face. “I love you,” she whispered.
“I love you too, and don’t you ever worry about Gian-Carlo again. He’s harmless. It’s you and me now and he just needs to accept that.”
“You know I think I will set up a dinner for us three so we can talk and get him to relax. Yeah, that’s what I should do,” Alex seemed pleased with himself.
“Ok if you think that will work, I’m in,” Vanessa said and laid down next to him again.
Chapter 4
“What wine do you prefer?” Alex looked at her over the large menu he was holding.
They sat in the garden of the village restaurant, run by two brothers, which age was impossible to define, they could be 50, or they could be 102. It didn’t matter, as the food was impeccable, not to mention their dessert of chocolate cakes and strawberries. It was lovely.
Alex phone buzzed. He took a quick glance at it and then put it back in his pocket again.
He saw Vanessa's look and just shook his head.
“Nothing to worry about, it's Gian-Carlo, but he will text me if it's something important. And if it’s not a matter of life and death, he won’t. He hates it, he thinks the phones is too small these days and that his fingers can’t write a message on those tiny digits. He misses the old telegraph I guess,” Alex smiled.
As an answer to that, his phone buzzed again; “What now?” Alex mumbled a tad annoyed.
Vanessa watched him as he read the message and then read it again.
“What’s he saying? Is it Mitch?” She asked worried that something bad had happened.
“Maybe, it’s not clear but it’ seems as if I need to fix a few things,” Gian-Carlo is writing that Mitch needs some paper transferred and I need to sign them.
“What kind of papers? That sounds strange!” Vanessa looked at Alex who stared at his phone with frowned eyebrows. He looked worried.
“Yeah, but it’s probably nothing. I will just get Gian-Carlo to sign them and send them over.”
“Ok, great,” Vanessa was relieved. For a second she thought Brunetti would ask Alex to come to the city and she was starting to get quite tired of being interrupted at all times by that man.
Alex tapped in a message and then put his phone away again.
“Let’s see what’s for dessert shall we?” Alex sounded keen on not letting Brunetti destroy their romantic dinner.
Just as, their hot chocolate cake was about to be served, his phone buzzed once again. Alex ignored it and took a spoonful of cake, smiling at Vanessa.
It buzzed again.
“Alex, please just answer him. He won’t stop if you ignore him, you know that.”
Alex looked relieved, took his phone up again, and dialed Brunetti.
“Just a second babe, I’ll be right back to you and that chocolate cake,” he blinked at her and went up to make his call.
“That was quick,” Vanessa said as Alex approached just a few minutes later. “What did he want?”
Alex sat down on the chair next to hers, he playfully took her spoon, and fed her some of the chocolate.
“I have to go, Vanessa. Trust me when I say I don’t want to but I have no choice. It’s regarding Mitch. Apparently, he’s had some sort of breakdown at the facility over in the states and he’s ushering me to sign some legal documents stating I will be making all decisions regarding his medical situation in case he ends up on life support.”
“Life support?” Vanessa was shocked. Was Mitch in such a bad state he was considering suicide?
“I’m sure this is just one of these times when Mitch is being over dramatic, but I must sign the papers otherwise he will never calm down and might even run off from the program.”
“I’ll take my car and drive down to Nice tonight. I’ll be back in a few hours. You can finish up your dessert and walk back to the B & B
