he was doubled up with laughter. And that's not all. The next day you went to Luigi's at the Faraglioni and Toto immediately starts reading the newspaper, sitting next to his aunt, of course."
"What's wrong with being next to your aunt?" Interrupted Toto, swallowing a shrimp.
"Wait, wait, - I think he also read the classifieds and funeral announcements in the paper - I decided to go swimming alone." I went on after giving him a cold look. "For that disappointment I wanted to increase the distance between us and reach Marina Piccola but passing between the Faraglioni I found myself in a current that dragged me offshore with it. Fortunately, after a while a boat passed. As soon as I was aboard, I fainted. To revive me they slapped me. When they brought me back to shore, Toto was still reading the newspaper."
"That's not true! Aunt Emma, worried about your prolonged absence, had put everyone on the alert. I too had gone in search of you."
"Maybe. But to me it was as if you were still reading the paper."
"Newspaper... newspaper... as it was a great fault to read a newspaper. You never forgive me, only now I understand. In fact, since that day you have looked at me as if I were crap."
"Like crap no, after all you are the first man I kissed, even if with a pizza on his head. I looked at you with different eyes. I was tired of suffering for you, that's all."
"Actually we never managed to synchronize..." Toto sighed.
"Maybe that's why you have remained good friends through the years. Love flares up, burns, disappears."
