Chapter Nine: Bologna:

Diamond waits outside in the hall. “Good morning! How did you sleep last night? I had a great sleep last night! Guess where we’re going today?” She leans in close to the guest’s face.

“Bologna! I’ve only been there once with my boyfriend. It is to die for! You’re going to love it! Oh, what’s there?” She giggles and smiles.

“I feel like catching a show today. There’s going to be a classic playing at the Teatro alla Scala. I’ve got us tow tickets. There’s going to be a modern twist to it. The drama club from Bologna University are really good.” She grins.

“Afterwards, we might catch a couple of music shows. These tickets weren’t cheap. Oh don’t worry. I can afford it. Daddy helped me get our tickets. You’re going to enjoy it.” She take the guest by the hands.

“We will get time. Which is why I got you up early this morning. What are we doing after the shows? You already know. Just the usual. Sight-seeing. Shopping. And of course food.” She smiles and twirls about.

“Everything will be fine. I’m covering the cost, remember? Daddy’s going help out with the payments. You just have to relax and enjoy yourself.” She pats the guest on the back.

“Ready to get going? Good, let’s go. We have a busy day today.” She held out her hand.
