Can't Help Falling In Love

Dancing With My Eyes

After an hour spent deciding which dress to wear, someone knocked on the door, it was him.

He was dazzled, she had evolved, she had taken some of that Italian style and adapted it to hers.

All he could say was: "Ready?"

"Almost, come in."

She disappeared into the bathroom and a few minutes later she came back saying she was ready.

The restaurant was beautiful, they were seated at a table on a small terrace two meters from the sea.

As it was summer, the sun hadn't set yet and it provided an incredible light.

Mara did not wait too long, she arrived in the company of her boyfriend of the moment, an Italian boy younger than her, he was very nice.

It was a fun evening for Mara and her knight, not for Swan who couldn't have a dialogue with Marlene in which she didn't just nod with her head and then shift her attention to something else.

She didn't even look at him in the eyes.

At the end of the evening, when "When a Man Loves a Woman" started, Lucio, as the boy was called, invited Mara to dance, leaving Marlene and Laurence sitting at the table.

The tension could be cut with a knife.

With all the courage he had, Laurence managed to open his mouth and said the first thing that came to his mind: "Marlene... If there really is nothing to do and this is your choice, I can also go".

He started to get up but she stopped him by taking him by the forearm.

"I'm not so sure anymore..."

This was the moment when another song started, Marlene's favorite, and he knew it.

"Will you dance with me?"

"How can I say no to this song, you know it."

So, finally Swan was looked into the eyes and it was as if everything had disappeared for those few minutes, even "Can't Help Falling In Love" was only a slight background as they were so focused on talking to each other with their eyes.

When the song was over they were brought back to reality by Mara, who had hurt her ankle and with Lucio they were returning home.

They went for a walk but had to go back to the hotel almost immediately because he had an early plane in the morning.

Before leaving to go to sleep, Laurence takes her by the hand again and says: "The choice is still up to you, to go back or to stay here, I just wanted to show you on which side I am on".
