Embarrassment

Paolo’s coyness about his ‘early rising’ meant an awkward start to lunch. Excited by Marcia, Paolo was also embarrassed.... and further embarrassed when she asked directly.

“Did Sofia come to see you in the middle of the night too?”

Paolo was taken aback.

“No need to lie Paolo, I know her perfume and I smelt it on your sheets, and on you. And don’t worry, I won’t ask which sister was best!” Marcia chuckled at Paolo’s continuing discomfort, adding, “and I’m not about to suggest a rematch if that’s what you thought! I’m a married woman you know!”

Paolo knew!
