A very dazzling morning followed the peaceful night.
As a mother, Laura was very grateful that Martin had slept all through the night without a single bout of midnight crying.
Even more surprising was that his calm slumber stretched well into the morning, giving her ample time to freshen up and finally take the tour she'd been wanting for around Luca's beautiful, immaculate home.
The house wasn't like anything Laura usually saw, not even in the best and most luxurious properties showcased on TV.
It looked hybrid and uniquely custom, as if designed by an architect who was fond of balancing classical and modernity.
At the start of her tour, she couldn't quite tell if the structure was a ground home or a low-rise.
She counted two bedrooms on the ground floor, including her own, and naturally assumed there would be a few more upstairs as well.
But to give Luca full privacy and respect his personal space, Laura decided to limit herself to exploring only the lower floor.
