Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow


I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"


So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow


Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
Do you know
You know I love you so
You know I love you so


I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow


I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow.

Damiano's P.O.V

We were all spending the day in the garden. Papa and Jacopo were swimming laps in the pool while Mamma, Eve and I sat on the deck chairs with our glasses of wine. It was such a hot day. I could see Eve's Scottish side was really struggling to deal with the heat, she was fanning herself while laying on her front, trying to avoid getting burnt boobs again. 

"I don't know how you all cope with this heat twenty four-seven" She sighs, sipping her glass of red. I smile over at her as my mamma passes her over a fan. 

"You'll get used to it... surely now you'll be moving back to Italy seeing as you and Damiano are back together?" She quizzes curiously. Eve nods slowly, thinking things over in her head almost shamefully.

"What's wrong amore?" I furrow my eyebrows watching her face drop slowly with guilt. What on earth was going on?

"Don't worry, we can talk about it later" She replies softly. I nod my head unsurely at her before turning my eyes over to the pool where my brother was now dunking my dad under the water. 

"Careful with him Jaco! He's getting old!" My mamma calls over as we all chuckle over at them. 

"Hey Dami, could you pass the sunscreen?" Eve groans, sitting up onto her knees. I grab the sunscreen from beside me on the small table and stand up as she looks at me with confusion.

"You never get the middle of your back, I'll do it for you amore" I tell her, watching as she relaxes back onto her front on the chair. I take the corner of the seat and squeeze the lotion out onto her back, rubbing it in all the way across and all the way down. 

"How's your Nonna sweetheart?" Mamma asks Eve sadly, placing down her glass of wine. 

"She's pretty ill but you know Nonna... she's acting as if she's absolutely fine so it's hard to tell at the minute" Eve explains.

"She's always been a very prideful woman" Papa mentions as both him and my brother walk over with towels, drying themselves down. 

"You can say that again" I chuckle, gathering Eve's hair and spreading the sunscreen up her neck and shoulders. 

"How's Alice Jaco?" Eve then asks curiously, lifting her head from the chair. Alice was Jacopo's girlfriend of almost seven years, the two of them were so strong together and it's always been so nice seeing my older brother so happy, he deserves it. 
Alice is beautiful, she has shoulder length dark brown hair and lighter brown eyes. Let's just say you couldn't get closer to Jacopo's type when it came to her. Eve and Alice were very good friends, whenever we all had family meals together those two would be so inseparable that Jacopo and I would get jealous. 

"She's doing really good, I texted her about us all coming to see you and she nearly screamed my ear off for not letting her know, she was willing to get a flight from France just to see you" He tells her. 

"She's the cutest. What's she doing in France?" 

"She's on a small holiday with a few girlfriends, something about shopping and lots of cocktail bars" He shrugs.
