Juliet's POV

Well, I just found out Scipio's dad is alive. That was a shocker for both is us.

I thought he was a ghost at first.

We are at the Venice airport right now trying to buy a ticket for the next flight to London for his dad.

"Alright your flight will leave at exactly 12:30 this evening," the lady working at the desk tells Scipio.

"Thank you, señora," he says politely taking the ticket.

We walk back almost to the entrance and say our goodbyes.

Scipio hands the ticket to his father and says, "Here,"

He takes it gently out of Scipio's hand and replies, "I just want to say I'm sorry, Scipio. For everything I put you through the past few years,"

Scipio looks down and doesn't say anything.

"You're a man now. I hope that you will not be like me. I want you to be a strong, respectful, and caring man, that I know you already are," he continues and puts his hand on Scipio's shoulder.

I see a tear slip down his cheek. He quickly wipes it away and looks at his father.

His dad puts out his hand for Scipio to shake.

Scipio takes his hand and shakes it, "Goodbye, father,"

"Goodbye, son," and with that, he parts from us.

I put my hand in Scipio's and we watch his father walk to his gate.

When he disappears I turn to look at Scipio.

His face seems tensed, but also sad.

"It'll be alright, Scip," I try to comfort him.

He turns to look at me and says, "I just can't believe he's alive," he whispers.

"Me too," I reply squeezing his big hand.

"No, Juliet you don't understand," he tells me.

"What do you mean?" I ask looking into his eyes.

"When I was younger, he used to beat me constantly... And then when I turned older that night from the merry-go-round, he left. I had no idea where he went, he didn't leave a note or anything," he tells me grabbing both my hands in his.

"So, what's your point?" I ask him.

"I don't know... He just seems odd right now. Like he's not himself," he says.

I touch his cheek, "Its gonna be alright, I promise,"

He grabs my arm softly and nods.

"Come on, Riccio must be worried sick about us," I tell him smiling a bit.

"Pff, let's ditch Riccio for the night. I just want to be alone with you for awhile," he tells me stroking my hair.

"Then let's get going or we're going to be a sideshow attraction," I point out.

He looks away embarrassed, "Oh, right,"

I chuckle, "Let's just go," I grab his hand again and we run out of the Venice Airport.
