A four-year-old looking Patsy was just aimlessly roaming about as she usually did when she heard some noise coming from behind some tall tomato plants. Curiously, she followed the sound until she poked her head through said plants and saw a child who looked a few years older than her. He was holding a tomato and, seeing as she hadn't eaten all day, her mouth began to water at the sight of it. "Umm.. little boy?" she asked, moving closer. "What's that, n' can I have some too?"

His first thought may have been along the lines of ‘what kind of idiot doesn’t know a tomato when they see one?’ but he managed to keep it to himself. Just from the sound of her voice, he could tell this girl was young. The best little boys certainly didn’t make little girls cry.
What was a single missing tomato? Antonio had plenty more.
“It’s a tomato,” he said, holding it out to her. “Call me Romano.”
