After watching the love of her life pass through security and disappear into the second part of the airport, Carina called her manager to explain the situation.

She took the opportunity to ask them to have a computer sent to Gabriella's house so she could work.
She had done her utmost not to break down in tears on the phone with him and to keep her professionalism.

Once she'd hung up, she'd gone to the cab stand when the phone rang.

- "bambina?"

-"I miss you already", the Italian began to cry. She'd been trying so hard to be strong for the two of them since that blow, but Maya calling her fifteen minutes after they'd parted, when they were only a few miserable kilometers apart, had been the last straw.

"Love, excuse me, excuse me, I shouldn't have called you."

-"I don't want to be separated from you, even for a month, it's too painful and brings back memories I'd rather forget..."

- "this is a final test of our love".

- "I had a glimpse of what you went through when I left the first time... Seeing you walk through those doors without me and being helpless... I wanted to scream."

-"Carina, you're the love of my life, I want to call you every day".

- "several times a day, I don't care if I sleep during the day and live at night if it's only to live at your pace."

-"promise me you'll take advantage of being at your place to go for a walk, go to the beach, I don't want you to stay cooped up".

-"and I don't want you to spend your time on that treadmill".

- "love..."

-"Maya please... I know you, you're going to run your heart out to «forget» for a few moments; and likewise, no carelessness at work".

- "I want to be in one piece for our wedding"

-"I want to be in your arms" replied the Italian, releasing a few tears.

- "me too... so much... I love you my love, I love you more than words can ever express."

- "ti amo bambina..." She had seen the person in front of her get into a cab. "Hummmm!!!" She exclaimed, stamping her foot. "My cab's here."

- "and my boarding has begun"

The brunette had held back her sob.

- "I love you Maya. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you I love you infinitely"

-"ti amo per sempre amore mio".

- "you melt my heart pretty american girl"

- "per sempre, lo farò"

- "okay master Yoda, it's not the right tenses, or the right order of words, but if you knew how much more I fall in love with you, the fact that you're learning Italian"

-"la mia fidanzata"

- "okay, I'm going to have to hang up now, because hearing you speak Italian makes me want to break security and put my lips on you like the little blond guy in Love Actually."

-"vieni qui"

-"Maya, get on that plane before I beg you on the phone to stay in Sicily for me."

- "Is this something you want?" Asked the surprised captain.

-"Yes, but no. I can literally work from anywhere in the world. You have to be in your barracks."
