Amelia's POV
"You're so cute." He chuckles, intertwining his fingers with mine as we walked.
It was strange, he was being his normal self again. He didn't ignore me when I asked questions. He was pleasant to be around. He took me sightseeing and I'm having the time of my life.
"Want me to take your picture?" He asks, pulling out the new Polaroid camera.
"Ya."
"Okay sit on the fountain." He directs.
I nod and sit on the rim, slightly posing for him. As soon as he holds the camera up I see a man behind Milo smiling at me.
"Why are you frowning?"
I focus back on Milo but I don't speak. I look behind him again and no one was there.
Am I going crazy?
"Hey speak to me, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just thought I saw someone but I didn't."
"Don't freak me out like that." He scolds.
"Sorry." I stand from the fountain and reach for his extended hand.

"There are a lot of missing people here." I comment as we pass another missing person poster.
"Yeah, wonder if they're all connected."
"It's so sad."
"I have to take a piss, stay right here." He walks away from me and into the small restaurant next to us.
I lean against the wall and wait patiently for Milo.
I watch all of the different people walk past me, then I see familiar looking pink hair in the crowd.
That couldn't possibly be Lannie, right?
She stops to smell flowers and I take a leap of faith and began to walk towards her through the crowd.
I tap her shoulder and she turns around with furrowed brows until she realizes it's me.
"Lannie what are you doing in Italy?" I ask as we share a brief hug.
"Da- De'angelo brought me, he's here on a business trip and I tagged along. Why are you here?"
"Milo's taking me to different places almost every week. Y-you don't think they're working together do you?"
"Actually it's highly possible." She shrugs.
"What kind of business does De'angelo do anyway?"
"I'm not allowed to know, he's really private about that stuff."
"Oh well you should go, Milo should be coming out about now."
"Okay keep it between us again?"
"Yes." I nod.
