Before attending to the real reason he'd come to London, Luca visited the other side of the city.
Dulwich was a quiet settlement in the southeast, detached like a village with a lot of green spaces and a strong educational heritage. He expected to find Isabella here because she was on a brief summer break and had taken the chance to spend a few days looking after old Mr. Schafer, who had settled in the area.
When Luca arrived, Isabella tried to act as if she hardly knew him, greeting him like a stranger and avoiding his gaze, as if they hadn't spoken on the phone the same morning. However, her performance was terrible; Luca couldn't stop laughing in his mind.
Throughout the day, nothing was funnier than Mr. Schafer himself. An aging man who survived a stroke and now lived quietly was bound to become a maestro at crude jokes. He joked about everything that had happened since the last time he saw Luca, while still complaining at the same time.
