Elizabeth had just turned 21 and had just finished university, studying psychology. She has decided to take a gap year and move to Sicily, Italy. She begins working in a small family - owned café, Café Corleone. Elizabeth was hired by Carmela Corleone, the wife of Don Vito Corleone, one of Sicily's wealthiest and most powerful mafias.

A few days after starting to work at the café, a young Sicilian man comes in for a cannoli, a Sicilian pastry. Elizabeth serves the young man;
    'How may I help you, Sir?' She says in Sicilian.
    'A cannoli and a cup of coffee please' the young man says.
Elizabeth smiles and prepares his order, as the young man takes a seat in the warm spring sun. The young man began chatting to his mother, Carmela about Elizabeth.
     'She's a beautiful young hardworking girl, Michael' Carmela said.
     'Well she is beautiful mamma' Michael said.
A few seconds after Michael said that Elizabeth brings him his order. As Elizabeth places the cannoli and coffee on the table she looked at Michael and smiled.
     'Elizabeth, meet my youngest boy, Michael' Carmela said as she looked at Elizabeth.
     'Nice to meet you, Michael.' Elizabeth said as she smiled at him and looked into his beautiful brown eyes.
Michael looked at Elizabeth as her blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight and smiled at her.
     'Nice to meet you too, Elizabeth' Michael said as they shook hands.

A few seconds later Elizabeth went back into the café and washes a few coffee cups. After washing the coffee cups she looks at Michael through the window. His soft brown hair, his beautiful brown eyes, and a smile to die for Elizabeth was clearly falling in love with Michael Corleone.
