Waning

Livia ended her call. Paolo hadn't liked Livia's tone, even though she'd been married to one of his bosses. Sure he felt guilty and confused by all this female distraction, but, like Tony and the others, he was Italian and a man with male pride and as such he didn't take kindly to any put-down by a mere woman.

They say absence makes the heart grow stronger, but in the case of Livia, absence plus long-distance bad vibes made her pretty face and cute body less attractive, particularly when the far-from-ugly sisters were all over him!
