Florence, Italy

The sun is setting over Florence and I can watch it go down.
Leigh is on my arm and the world is a happy place.
I'm looking into her eyes, huge and brown. I feel like I could drown in them. It's so wonderful to know we're in love. I should never have doubted. Leigh told me that she missed me a ton, and of course I missed her too. We went back to the Trevi fountain last night in Rome. Finally, I could be one of those happy couples, just sitting there holding her, and you know, you don't notice anybody else. Erik and Sabrina are off somewhere in Florence, probably having gelatti and bemoaning the fact that they're getting ditched. Oh well, they knew what they were getting into with us! I'm sure they'll be fine. Leigh is beautiful tonight. She's wearing just a simple dress... Her hair pulled back, beautiful eyes. I could hold her like this forever. But the sun's going down and the guard is coming around telling us it's time to leave. That's OK; we still have another 5 days on the trip together. It will be blissful. The last light is disappearing from the slanted red clay tiled roofs of the Florentine homes, dipping below the hills of Toscany in the distance...
