Once Upon a Time in Italy
On the coast of a little town in northern Italy, Charlie and Roxanne find that the strings of fate have drawn them to coincidently meet during their vacations—Roxanne with her family, and Charlie with no one but himself (and his bodyguard, of course). Charlie knows what the rules are about Roxanne. The promise he made Beckett blares in his mind every time he sees her. But a week in Italy, where the realities of New York can’t touch them, was enough to make the lines between that promise blur. Everything was perfect. The cocktails always tasted right, the laughs were always full and alive. But perfect things are sure to have an expiration date, and for Charlie and Roxanne, theirs comes in the form of flying back to the place they both seemingly called home, where Charlie knows their bittersweet fairytale can go nowhere unless it is to an inevitable, agonizing end. Pretending was fun while it lasted, but it should have never happened in the first place.Then again… people do stupid, stupid things when they’re in love.
