Rinaldo move behind a seat and pull it. "Please." And eh waits for her to sit down. Rinaldo walks to teh other seat and sits down. He takes his glass of champagne. "Twenty years ago, I saw you for the first time. I remember it like if it was yesterday. You were working at your stall at the market. I was supposed to buys some vegetable for my mother and I finally forget half of them because I had been charmed by your smile. Two years after I asked you to marry me. It took me a year to gather the ressources and prepare our wedding. A magical moment. And after that, for seventeen years, our couple hold even after all I have done, and I have done much to gives you worries.
But I was lucky, lucky to have found a women that understood that I needed to travel, that I needed to help the people I could help, a women that had the patience that my wanderlust would end.
Today, I wish to have you at my side as much as possible. I wish to travel with you. I wish to see no more adventure that will keep me away from you. I want to live the live I missed during all these years I have been on my wanderlust. I've miss so much, like the first words of Salvador, the first steps of Isabella, the birth of Carlos..."
Rinaldo pause a moment, the tought of the father he hasn't been for his kids was like a ball in his throat.
"Twenty years of love, seventeen years for the best and the worst. I wish it will last at least another twenty years, and I hope they will be the best, the worst being behind us."
He raises his glass of champagne, smilling at Valeria before taking a sip with her.
