Now Alberto wasn’t sure whether to blame the storm or himself for what happened next. Back in the tower, when he would sit and cry throughout the night, there would be no one there to hear him. But there was someone here. After a few moments of lying under the bed, Alberto heard a new sound; soft but heavy thumping against hardwood floors. Footsteps. Alberto’s eyes widened. Massimo’s footsteps. The knock on the door was soft, careful as to not push it all the way open, but Alberto winced as if he’d just been attacked. “Alberto? Stai bene?" Per mille sardine, he could hear him. (Or: Alberto gets frightened by a thunderstorm one night, and when Massimo does what every good parent should, he's not entirely sure how to take it.)
