Chapter 76

Isabella's POV I was staring outside the window while Matteo was driving. The silence between us was deafening but it's comforting. It seems like Matteo knows what I want, and he gave it without hesitation. He drove silently while I could feel his constant glance at me. We were passing a bridge when he pulled the car over. I turned to him, confused. “Stay here.” He undid his seatbelt, and went out of the car. He opened the door beside me and offered his hand. “Take my hand.” Without a word, I put my hand on his. The warmth from his palm was even more comforting. He didn't say a word when he shut the car's door, and pulled me towards the hood of his car. He gently pushed me to sit, and when I looked in front, that's when I realized why he stopped here. The city lights looked enchanting from this spot. The night breeze and the calm silence made the night relaxing and romantic. The solace. It's not only the place, but also Matteo's presence. Slowly, I closed my eyes, feeling the comfort.
