The Boy From Bologna

Rosa never thought six months could change her life.

At fourteen, she leaves Sydney to return to her childhood home in Bologna for an exchange. Between family dinners with her Nonna and Nonno, late-night talks with her cousin Francesca, and struggling with her faded Aussie-Italian accent, Rosa doesn't expect much more than schoolwork and homesickness.

Then she meets Kimi Antonelli.

He's just the boy seated next to her in class - quiet, sharp-eyed, with a crooked smile and whispers of karting talent. But soon their conversations turn into walks home, gelato dates, and feelings Rosa never expected. When Kimi asks her to be his girlfriend under the Christmas lights, she says yes, even though she knows her exchange won't last forever.

When Rosa returns to Sydney, they make a promise: long distance. And even across thousands of miles, they know it will work. They know they'll be together forever, that neither could ever betray the other, that what they have is real.

Four years later

They're eighteen now. Kimi isn't just the boy from Bologna anymore- he's racing in Formula 1 for Mercedes. But when they see each other again, the spark is still there, stronger than ever. They know, without a doubt, that this is just the beginning of their forever.
