Hoping that I'm telling them something that makes sense, I glance at you, then smile as you support me and give them more details about my 'opportunity' here with you on your island. Smiling at Emma, then Charles, I continue eating and nod my head, as if everything you were saying was true.<br/><br/>Crossing and recrossing my long legs, I  thank Charles for his words and pay close attention to the  topics being talked about. They were mostly about artists,or their work, or travel locatioins, or business deals.<br/><br/>"Yes, he met me in France, and we got to talking. He told me that he would be in Tuscany at the same time that I was, and, surprised me. We got talking, and he told me that he could do me a huge favor, and he met me there, took me out for a meal, we talked again,and here we are", I said, then decided to open up some more.<br/><br/>"I'm from Australia actually. a lot of travellers are Australians, as we're so far from just about everything else that we have to far to see places like this". I wanted to be with you as well, even though I was enjoying our meal, the wine and the conversation.
