You know, Giovanni, you worried me. [She says softly, taking his arm and keeping close to him.] Disappearing...and coming back? You have me worried all over again.

[She glances up toward him, giving him a smile.] Nice to have you back, cowboy. You look tired though. [There's a brief pause. She notices the red around his neck, but she doesn't ask. Either he was a kinky bastard, or things just didn't go as planned.

And really, deep down? She was hoping for it to be kinky so she wouldn't be worried about him.] Did you want to talk about it?
