Your POV
As we walked out of our hotel that overlooked the sea, we walked through the crowds of people making our way into a small coffee shop. There were lovely flowers hung around the exterior and by the entrance, which enhanced the natural spring visuals of its surrounding shops and foliage around the city.
As we entered, a familiar aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the room. People were eating the freshly baked pastries as they chatted amongst themselves, sitting down at the tables around the modernesque area.
We ordered our coffees and a few pastries to eat on the go, and presumed to head out into the busy streets. We noticed a lot of people taking photos around the area. We couldn't blame them, the flowers and morning sun made it a great scene for photo taking.
Not to mention the rustic sense added an artistic touch.
We walked around, our feet taking us through the streets till we ended up in front of some local shops. Wendy and I decided to go walk around in some of them, as the guys continued to show themselves around.
Walking in, we caught a glimpse of many displays of jewelry, clothing, shoes and other accessories. Wandering aimlessly, my eyes drew me towards a small display of various sized and shaped pendant necklaces and bracelets.
My eyes browsed through the varying gems, which none had caught my attention. Not until I came across a necklace with my birthstone on it. It had a gold chain, with the gem plated with gold in the center.
I was drawn to it.
I also came across a similar one. It was a bracelet with the amethyst gemstone. It was perfect, as it reminded me of my brother. I decided to get both.
"What are you getting?" Wendy came to me as she was holding a new pair of sunglasses in her hands.
"Just these. I see you're being extra generous to yourself today."
"Please, I barely buy stuff. Besides, when are we ever going to have another opportunity like this." I guess she was right. Being here was a great opportunity, so a few souvenirs wouldn't hurt.
As we walked out, we tried to find the guys. Inevitably, the guys found themselves hopping from food cart, to food cart.
"Finally, you guys took forever" Josh says as he takes another bite of Cuoppo Napoletano.
"Please, we were only there for less than 10 minuets." Wendy says still looking for Kevin
"Sorry, there was a long line up" Kevin runs up to us as he takes a spoonful of gelato into his mouth.

Narrator POV
After finding the two boys, the four proceeded to hop onto a bus and went to their first destination of the day.
The Colosseum.
On the bus, they passed through the streets filled with other tourists alike, and people taking photos, and smiles painted across everyone's face.
Seeing everyone happy and enjoying themselves made Y/N feel warm inside. It was the feeling of pure euphoria. The trip was a little lengthy, but hearing Wendy talk about different scenarios of how one of the four of us could meet our soulmates here, was entertaining enough that it lasted the whole bus ride.
"-then you guys'll meet because of some silly misunderstanding, and then think it's the last you'll see each other. But you guys meet again somewhere." The boys were tired of getting earfuls of her nonsense.
"You can keep dreaming Wendy, but we all know that's unlikely to happen." Y/N says bringing Wendy to a halt.
"Awe come on Y/N. Wouldn't that be a romantic love story. Meeting the person through an unexpected event. Or through some type of connection." She was very detailed through her explanation of these scenarios, it made Y/N smile.
"Or meeting them while on a wine tour, or maybe while we try all different types of food, or maybe even through a photo." Kevin adds as the three stare dumbfounded.
"What? Can't I dream too?" He chuckles
"Yeah, well whoever your next lover will be, they better be careful. Or else" Josh adds as he points at Y/N
"Agreed." The siblings say in unison as they all started walking towards the colosseum.

The thought of finding a lover, or new boyfriend has been a sensitive topic for Y/N. Sure it's been over two years, but she's still scared to open up, though she shouldn't be. Only Wendy knows why she's scared to get into a relationship.
She was the one who stuck with Y/N through the whole thing, even if she doesn't remember everything that happened, Wendy remembered every detail.
Y/N was so grateful for the friendship and comfort Wendy provided during those hard times. Although she may not say it often, she shows it through her actions.
The boys on the other hand haven't heard the full story. Only small pieces of the puzzle. They were also there when Y/N needed comfort, even if they didn't know what really happened they were still understanding if she didn't want to talk about it.
But they were always there if she needed them.
They were there when the one person she'd previously poured her heart out to left.
They were the ones that stayed, and listened to her.
