❝What brings you to Rome?❞ ❝A broken heart. You?❞ ❝I have three months to live. And I've heard gelato is pretty good.❞ I traveled to Rome thinking I'd never be able to love again, only to find that home was in a whimsical boy who could speak to the wind. I traveled to Rome because I needed change, only to find an entirely new world inside ethereal emerald eyes. I traveled to Rome with a broken heart, only to leave it somewhere underneath a thunderstorm behind the Vatican. This is the story of my trip to Rome-a trip that filled my life with colors I didn't know existed and songs that could only be heard by my heart. All in a matter of seven days. ~ book one of the "A Week in..." series ~ cover by @TheGreatSphinx | 1st place winner of 2018 Zodiac Summer Awards |
