Delia cups her free hand around a candle when she lights it, and the flame glows through her fingers for a split second before she moves on. She looks like a saint, lighting candles. She has the right face for it, heart-shaped with large, dreamy eyes, but she smiles just a little wicked, like all the best people.

And the thing is, Anna should want to be with the men right now, with Delia's husband Ercole and his inner circle. They've been gone an hour or so and they left her behind, here with Delia and a handful of other people, and she knows they don't trust her yet. She'll have to fix that, but she can't do it now, and she has time.

She should want to be out with the men, doing her job, but all she wants to do is sit at this table with Delia, and watch her saint's eyes and sinner's smile in the warm candlelit night.
