As we speak wasthe first day it really felt like autumn. The bay space had had unseasonably heat climate all over September. This morning it was overcast and grey and I used to be having fun with the view from my high-rise workplace as I watched a lightweight drizzle of rain pelt the window. Behind me, I heard the sound of the door open and my nostril immediately detected the odor of my favourite espresso combined with the scent of Julia’s heavenly fragrance.

“Right here you go boss!” She set the Starbucks on my desk as she had carried out not less than 100 occasions earlier than.

“Thanks Julia! What brings you down right here moreover my caffeine repair? I assumed you have been going to be engaged on that authorized matter concerning our Brooklyn workplace in the present day. All these information are at residence aren’t they?”

“Can’t I come right down to my attractive financé’s workplace and present him how a lot I recognize him?”

“I suppose so……is that basically why you’re right here? Or have been you doing a little bit of wedding ceremony procuring already this morning?”

“No. You bought me. The espresso was a pretense. I got here down to speak to you about one thing that’s been on my thoughts. Perhaps you must sit down.”

“Wow this sounds critical Julia. Is every part alright at residence? Are you feeling okay?”

“I’m high-quality. All the things’s high-quality. There’s actually nothing to fret about. However I nonetheless want you’d sit down.”

“What’s this about? Why all of the thriller?”

“Nicely it’s about your grandfather. There’s one thing I feel you must learn about him.”

“What might you probably learn about him that I don’t? Was he homosexual? Are you his illegitimate love little one? Did he have webbed toes?”

“Are you going to be critical Edward?”

I lastly sat down as Julia had requested and reached out for her hand throughout my desk.

“Julia I’m simply attempting so as to add a bit of humor to this sober dialog. I feel you’d be hard-pressed to inform me something new about Nonno. I’ve been going via all of his information and I’ve been studying fairly a bit about that fascinating outdated man.”

“Sure I do know you’ve been doing that. You’ve been sharing all of your insights and fantastic tales about him with Nigel and I each night. That’s why I’m right here now……”

“WHY are you right here now?”

“As a result of I do know you’re studying his non-public correspondence.”

“However how does that relate to you Julia? His information are my property now. I’ve a proper to know what’s in them.”

“After all you do. I do know that. However I additionally comprehend it’s only a matter of time earlier than you discover out…..”

“Discover out what dammit?! My persistence is beginning to wane Julia!”

“I assumed it could be higher if you happen to heard it from me first so I might clarify every part earlier than you discovered it in some file.”

“Discovered what? What have you ever been hiding from me?”

“Nicely the factor is, someplace in a type of drawers or I don’t know, possibly in an outdated e mail file are some letters between your grandfather and ……….me.”

“You? You and my Nonno corresponded with one another? When was this and what was it about?”

“It was earlier than you and I met really.”

“What?! How might you probably know him BEFORE we met?! That doesn’t even make sense!”

Her assertion brought on me to hop again up out of my chair and nervously tempo backwards and forwards.

“Now Edward there’s no motive so that you can freak out. Nothing dangerous occurred.”

“Nicely precisely what was happening and whydidn’t I learn about it?”
