Closed starter @covetme Location/time: Museo de Coronado fundraising, beginning of September
The crowd parts as Giulia makes her way around the room, back from her cigarette break. She checks her watch, gives herself twenty more minutes before she can leave this fundraiser and finish the day's last obligation. Her eyes trail around the room, noticing familiar faces, until they land on her niece's perfect figure, backed in a corner by a man people usually try to avoid due to his utmost boring stories. A sigh. The girl never learns.
Snatching a glass of wine from a table, Giulia strides towards Monarosa and slips at her side, a polite smile etched on her face directed at the older man. "Hello Boris, I heard Luciana's looking for you, maybe you should try and find her?" Giulia suggests, and leaves no room for argument. Clever enough to hear her disguised send off, Boris acknowledges his defeat, and utters a fast goodbye before walking away.
"Monarosa, didn't we warn you about Boris?" Giulia asks her niece once the man is out of earshots. "Or do you just like to suffer?" It wouldn't suprise her if Monarosa had a martyr complex and thought she could save everyone else in attendance by occupying the man's time and making sure she was his only victim.
