.......
Leo came through the apartment door to find Vittoria sitting near the kitchenette.
She had a mug in one hand, and her other arm rested across her stomach, and when she heard the door, she looked up.
Her eyes found his face, and a small, wry smile appeared.
"So," she said, "It was a loss."
Leo gave her the same sort of smile and then nodded.
"Yeah."
He shut the door behind him and took off his jacket, leaving it over the back of the nearest chair.
His shoes came off next, followed by the quiet shuffle of him crossing the apartment in his socks before he changed into his slides.
Afterwards, he walked into the bedroom, probably to set his phone on charge before he came back into the living room and dropped into the couch.
Vittoria watched him for a moment before also getting up.
She carried her mug over and placed it on a coaster on the coffee table, then walked around the couch and climbed onto it beside him.
