Summer in Sorrento by Melissa Hill Page B

white-washed family homes. It was a captivating scene, and she couldn't help but feel enchanted as she watched the countryside roll by.
    She noticed that Nate also moved closer to the window to look out as the scenery flew by them.
    The train entered Verona at dusk, but even in the fading light Sarah caught a small glimpse of what the city had to offer.
    The old stone architecture was impressive even in the falling gloom of night, and Sarah craned her neck for a better look at the old buildings.
    She'd expected a fusion of the modern and the classical in this city, but she hadn't been prepared for how much old-world charm the city exuded. Once they were in another taxi en route to their hotel she kept her face to the window of the car, peering excitedly at the city streets. Iron gates and winding cobbled streets whispered of another time, before the arrival of modern things like automobiles.
    Balconies trailed with vines, abloom with the last flowers of the year and Sarah could almost imagine their fragrance. She felt as though she were truly slipping into another world.
    It was a beautiful city and unmistakably romantic.
    She couldn't read a single one of the many signs in Italian, but even the look of the language was charming and exquisite. She caught sight of couples sitting outside trattorias, enjoying their evening meals as day turned to night, and she felt a small pang of jealousy mixed with hope. They all looked so carefree, sipping wine and savoring their food together.
    Instantly Sarah felt her mood lighten, and decided that by the end of this stay in Verona, she and Nate would be among those happy couples, talking and laughing as though they hadn't a care in the world.
    Whether he liked it or not.
