Letters to Juliet Page #4

---

- Why not?

Yeah, yeah, you write the letters

and l'll cook. And later we eat and...

Win-win.

How long have you

and Victor been engaged?

Almost a year.

Wow. And may l ask

why don't you wear an engagement ring?

Yeah, see, that's... That's me. l insisted.

He was so busy, you know,

this whole restaurant and everything.

And l guess l felt it unnecessary.

Still, a girl should have a ring.

"l didn't go to him, Juliet.

"l didn't go to Lorenzo.

"His eyes were so full of trust.

"l promised l'd meet him

to run away together

"because my parents don't approve.

"But instead, l left him waiting for me,

below our tree,

"waiting and wondering where l was.

"l'm in Verona now.

"l return to London in the morning,

and l'm so afraid.

"Please, Juliet, tell me what l should do.

"My heart is breaking,

and l have no one else to turn to.

"Love, Claire."

And it's been there for all those years?

l think she came back

to find her one true love.

And they had 1 0 children

and still make passionate love every night.

Except he got bald and fat

and she has to do all the work.

-Francesca.

-Francesca.

And maybe she stayed in London

and married a duke

and lived happily ever after, just like me.

-But you married an accountant, not a duke.

-Nobody's perfect.

And l bet when she's making love

to that duke...

-Yeah?

-...she's imagining her first love, Lorenzo.

lsabella, l have to write back.

Then answer her.

Good night, friends.

Good night.

Hey.

Hey.

-Sorry l'm late.

-No, it's fine. No worries.

-How was your day? Good?

-lt was...

-lt was so good.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Good. l'm glad.

How was Angelina?

Yeah, it was good. l mean, she's amazing,

you know. That woman is incredible.

She's very instinctive, you know.

She cooks without recipes.

l mean, she's incredible.

-She's invited me to cook again.

-Really?

Yeah. Yeah,

l think l can learn a lot from her.

But...

No, no, you first, you first. Sorry, sorry.

-No, just real quick. l just...

-Mmm-hmm?

l had the most amazing day.

l got to answer a letter

that was written 50 years ago.

l know it might not get there,

but it just feels so good to write.

Yeah, l think you should spend more time

with them.

-Why?

-Because it's your passion, right?

And also because it fits perfectly.

Because l just got off the phone

with Signor Morini,

and he's invited me to this amazing

wine auction that's happening in Livorno.

-ln Livorno?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

lt's super-exclusive.

l mean, l don't know...

l don't know if l can get a ticket, you know.

l mean, l'll be off, like, a day or two, max.

lf you want, l'll try to get two tickets,

-but l'm not sure l can get two tickets.
