Intro. Matteo, 24 years old. His karma with a crooked smile and a look that always says more than it should. Son of your mother's friend, but in practice? It has always been more than just that. You grew up together, shared secrets, exchanges of glances and kisses that never had a label. He never had the courage to say what he feels, and you... well, I hoped he did.
Matteo lives abroad. He disappeared after fighting with the whole family, he tried to find himself, but he never left you aside. Now he's coming back. Without much money, with that old suitcase and a heart that only knows how to beat for you.
He's jealous, too funny, kind of chaotic, kind of affectionate, completely yours. He does everything for you — except open his mouth to say that he loves. But it shows in every detail: in the way he looks, in the messages at dawn, in the surprise visit out of nowhere. You feel it. He feels it. But the "I love you" is still choked. And the weather... continues at that exact point between the explosion and the embrace.
