|Alarms goes off| 3:40 AM

Marcella was already up, she had woken up at 1:00 AM and started calling Francesca. After 12 calls, she managed to get her up and tell her to get ready to head towards the airport. Marcella was ready,  she put something comfy on, all her bags were ready, her phone was charged and everything was ready for the trip. She went downstairs and brought her suitcase downstairs and put it by the front door. In the kitchen, the lights were on and her mother was making a small breakfast for her. "Good morning sweetie, did you sleep well last night?", her mother asked as she prepared a coffee for her daughter.

Marcella's mom is a kind, gentle, respected woman. Everyone who knew the Romano family could tell you that Eloise Romano was an incredible woman who had the ideal family, unlike her husband she didn't come from money. Eloise grew up in a small town in Italy, her parents both worked and she would help around the house and help with her younger sister.  A very smart girl, she went on to study at the Sapienza University of Rome, located in the capital of Italy. Pursued a career in Architecture, and after graduation, she applied for a company that happened to be under her future husband's family business group. Eloise met Luca because of her job, at the time Luca was helping his father in building the company Eloise worked in, which belonged to the Romano Group, and well Luca fell in love with Eloise and went on to marry her, even though she wasn't from a family of money like Luca's, his parents approved of the marriage because of how successful and hard-working Eloise was, plus her personality. And that's how Marcella Romano's parents met.

"I slept very well, which is surprising seeing as I had to prepare a lot for this week.", Marcella tells her mom, grabbing the cup of coffee and taking a sip. They were chatting for a bit until she heard a honk come from outside, which was her cue to leave for the airport. The front door opened and Marcella walked outside with her suitcase, there was her family's driver Federico waiting, he had been the family's driver since before Marcella was born. Her mother gave her one last hug before she left, and got in the car. On the drive to the airport Marcella was scrolling through Instagram, seeing what was new, then she got a notification on her messages from Francesca.

                                                       🖤  Francesca 🤍

Hey! I'm arriving at the airport in like 10 minutes...

I'm gonna get coffee, want anything while I wait for you?

                                                                          Okay, I'll be there in 20 minutes 😇

                                                                           Another coffee, pleaseeeeeeee!

Okay! An espresso? Right?

                                                                          Yes 👍🏼            

                                                     | 20 minutes later|         

Marcella arrived at the airport, got out of the car, and grabbed the suitcase from Federico. She waved goodbye and walked inside the airport. Walking through the airport, she managed to find Francesca sitting down in a chair with her phone in her hand looking at the screen smiling, she walked up to her, and Francesca looked up still smiling. "Finally, I think your espresso may have gotten cold by now, but at least I didn't drink it.", she says handing the coffee cup to Marcella. She smiled, grabbed the cup, and sat next to her. Their plane didn't leave for another 30 minutes, so they had enough time to look over their carry-on bags and make sure they had packed what they needed for the trip.
