Despite the couch not being made for two people, it didn't bother the two lovers at all.
Vittoria's head now lay somewhere across Leo's neck, after she had snuggled up for comfort through the night.
The stillness in the apartment prevailed as the two kept sleeping, but that stillness was soon broken by the sound of the doorbell and at that, Leo's eyes opened.
He lay still for a second, orienting himself, and then the doorbell went again.
Hearing that, he sat up slowly while Vittoria stirred beside him, but didn't fully wake.
Her eyes were half open, but her expression told that she had no intention to be conscious.
Then the intercom crackled.
"Vittoria, darling, are you awake?"
The effect of those words was immediate and total.
Vittoria was upright before the sentence had finished, her eyes wide and every trace of sleep gone from her face.
