The sensitive boy who wore his heart on the sleeve.
Who felt too much and loved even deeper.
Circumstances of life had beat that out of them for the most part, but it seemed that Ludovica had somehow managed to rekindle those dormant feelings once again.
But now, she was leaving.
That meant that it was time to go back to how things used to be.

Sometimes, I managed to impress even myself. I had devised the most foolproof strategy of escape in existence, meticulously working out every single aspect of the plan, down to the little details. All I was waiting for now was the right time to set things in motion.
