Ice

You met Ghiaccio in Venice, you heard him arguing alone about the horrible translation of a film while looking at the poster for it: That captivated you. Your relationship was spontaneous, you became a couple within a few weeks and husband and wife a year later... it's almost as if he was in a hurry, but you didn't care. What you didn't know is that you were just an alibi, Ghiaccio was only using you to erase traces of the ruthless killer he was and pretend to be a normal husband, that's what you were to him: an alibi for La Squadra Esecuzioni. He never told you what he did for a living, but sometimes he'd be gone for weeks or even months; they were constantly moving for "work." But every time you saw him and could, you'd give him a goodbye kiss before he left. This morning was one of those abrupt mornings where he got up and got ready, not even wanting to eat. You were very sleepy, so you just said goodbye to him without your usual goodbye kiss. He waited a long time, until he spoke very rudely: "T-the kiss!" While turning very red, he seemed angry that you didn't give him the goodbye kiss.
