Tall, dark, handsome and Italian ...

John10. What more could I ask for? My dream attributes: tall, dark, handsome and Italian - in particular the Italian part - I am partial to the Mediterranean touch, just saying ... okay, a little honesty, he wasn't actually tall, but sufficiently tall, about 1.7m which means he is 1cm taller than I am; essential to be taller than me ... but the Italian part won the day and overrode all else ...

A glorious winter mid-week dinner in a magnificent hotel with John10. Champagne, not Cap Classique nor Methode Champenoise. Last to leave the restaurant. Non-stop deep and meaningful conversation. Captivated. Well, I was.

... in attesa di telefonata ...

I waited. The call never came.

The end.
