Lucrezia rose from the table when Cesare did, and he embraced her. "Do not leave me for so long again, my Lucrezia," he said quietly in her ear. And then, a nod to Michael. "I will see you later tonight." Then he swept off.

Lucrezia picked up her purse and turned to Michael. "Do you have a pressing engagement, Michael? If not, I would be happy for some company on my walk home."

"Of course," Michael agreed, since he did not in fact have anything planned until that night, when Cesare would need him again. He could have filled the time, and would after seeing Lucrezia home, but there was no reason not to agree to her request. He held her coat out to her, then grabbed his own.
