Bruno (8 page)

“Bruno,” I say, hugging his letter to my chest, “Tuo amore mi ha fatto bella.” And now I’m going to return the favor, by making someone else beautiful with my love; because what is love given if not returned? It’s not love at all. It’s not beauty. And love is life. And life is beautiful.
