The First Glance
It was a rainy Tuesday in October when Sophia walked into Ethan's favorite bookshop on Via dei Condotti. He was reaching for the same worn copy of "Il Gattopardo" she had been hunting for weeks. Their hands touched the spine at the same moment — and neither pulled away.
First Date & First Kiss
Ethan found Sophia's number tucked inside the book — she'd left it there intentionally. Six months of letters, calls, and stolen coffee dates followed before he finally kissed her on the steps of the Pantheon under a blanket of stars. Rome conspired in their favor.
Moving In Together
What started as "borrowing a sweater" turned into sharing a studio apartment in Florence with too many books and never enough shelf space. They learned each other's rhythms — his early mornings, her midnight oil — and built something quietly extraordinary.
The Proposal
On the morning of Sophia's birthday, Ethan rented out the terrace of a small vineyard in Chianti as the sun rose over the hills. He had been carrying the ring for three months. She said yes before he finished the question. The wine was excellent.
