"So..."
"Mm?"
"How did he take it?"
Vittoria's shoulders lifted in a small shrug.
"Better than I expected."
"That's... reassuring."
Leo nodded slowly.
"He just..."
She searched for the words.
"He said he'd rather meet you before deciding what he thinks."
Leo raised an eyebrow.
"...That's either really good or really bad."
"I honestly don't know."
She smiled nervously, thinking about it.
"I think it's good."
"I'll choose to believe that."
Another small silence followed before Vittoria spoke again.
"He invited you to dinner. During the international break. He asked me to ask you, but I said only if you are free and that he can't force it."
Leo leaned back in his chair and let out a slow breath through his nose.
"...Right."
Vittoria watched him carefully.
"You don't have to say yes."
But Leo looked up immediately.
"No."
His answer came so quickly that she blinked.
"I was just thinking...Do I wear a suit?"
