The next few days were a whirlwind of factory tours until finally it was the Rosetti's last evening and they were all sitting down for an informal family dinner.

"well I have to say I'm going to miss having you all around" Mrs Witchattakam said and meant it.

"yes, it's been lovely, the men were able to conduct their business but we had fun too" Francesca admitted.

"well feel free to come back whenever you like, you'll be made welcome" Ronni's mother added.

"I'd like that" Francesca smiled.

"and maybe next time instead of taking you around our factories I can take you to some famous beauty spots and we could go to a spa and be pampered"

"that sounds lovely and when you're all free you could come across to Italy and stay with us, we would love to show you around" Francesca said and Fabio nodded in agreement.

"that sounds like a wonderful idea, maybe we could plan Ronni and Hiro's wedding over there, maybe a romantic mediterranean beach wedding" Ronni's mother said.

"it would be a civil ceremony mother" Ronni said.

"meh ... it would still be romantic, I can see it now ..." his mum replied with a silly smile on her face.

"it would be amazing 'Ro, can I be your man of honor?" Siwan asked clapping his hands together in excitement.

"we haven't really talked abo ..." Hiro began only to be cut off by Ronni.

"it actually sounds like an awesome idea baby and yes Siwan, I imagine that you would be on Hiro's short list including his friend Monica" Ronni said.

"wow, Monica, I'd forgotten all about that girl, how is she?" Siwan asked.

"she's fine in fact we attended her engagement party a few weeks ago" Hiro said.

"wow, everyone is getting married, I'm going to be left on the shelf" Siwan said with a cute pout.

"we can start planning our marriage as soon as we get back home Siwan but I need to speak to your father first and ask his permission" Alessandro said.

"as if he will refuse" Enrico said winking at his friend Alessi'

"whether he does or not it is the right thing to do"

"of course, we overlooked that, when will we get to meet your parents Hiro?" Ronni's  mother asked him.

"I ..." Hiro began as his eyes darted around trying to think of what to say.

"they're dead Mrs Witchattakam" Siwan said trying to take the pressure off Hiro.

"thank you Siwan but that's not entirely true Mr and Mrs Witchattakam, the truth is I haven't seen them since I was 18, they threw me out of the house when I told them that I wasn't attracted to girls" Hiro admitted looking down.

"oh, oh well then" Ronni's mother said a little flustered.

"there's nothing to be embarrassed about son, it's not your fault in fact they're the ones who should bow their heads in shame" Ronni's father said.

Alessandro wrapped his arm around Siwan, he was proud of him for trying to support his friend.

After dessert had been eaten their coffee was served outside on the terrace.

"well I'm going to miss this place and I don't mind admitting it" Enrico said.

"me too, it's the place where I finally plucked up the courage to tell Siwan how I felt about him, there's something magical about this place"
