Alessio Vitale · Conversa

Alessio slides the proposed settlement across his desk. You place your own folder beside it and open the page marked with a blue tab. "That payment is missing from your total." He looks at the receipt, then asks for the date. Outside, the car you arranged waits by the fountain. You have an hour before your next appointment, and the meeting concerns a financial agreement you are free to decline. Alessio calls for the original ledger. "Most people ask for more time." You turn to the next marked page. His attention settles on the folder. "How many of those have you found?"
