Chapter V: Sunday, September 7th, 2014: afternoon and evening

They exited the restaurant and began to walk; Richard offered her his arm and Nives, gladly surprised, took it promptly.

"Can we go back to the castle gardens?", asked she, "I'd like to shoot some more photos..."

"Of course", he accepted willingly.

They therefore went back to WindsorPark, where Nives loosened her passion for the photographic art. At a certain point, they found a very suggestive spot strangely deserted; while she was focusing on a fountain, Richard stepped accidentally into the frame, close up.

"Gorgeous", Nives muttered, shooting. Then she thought he didn't maybe like it that she took a picture without warning, "Whoops!", she cried, "I'm sorry, I shot you a pic without asking, but it was really a very nice framing..."

She showed him the image, with him appearing on the left, turned sideways, his eyes cast down and a little smile curving his lips, with the gushing fountain behind him and a triumph of coloured flowers in the background.

"Wonderful photo", Richard approved; in his life, he had posed for a considerable number of photoshoots, sometimes frankly boring, position yourself this way or that way, look here, look there, and he ended up appreciating much more the spontaneous shoots. Nives maybe wasn't a professional photographer, but she had an excellent sense of framing, and the light of this image was perfect.

"Thanks... all the credit to the subject", she said modestly, "Anyway, I can cancel it, if you like..."

"And why? Unless you want to sell it to some magazine... but if you keep it for your private use, I have no objections."

"Sell it to a magazine?", Nives cried, shocked, "What a ludicrous idea... of course I won't! No, I'll keep it only for private use, don't worry."

"I trust you", he beamed. He was so handsome, Nives almost zoned out just by looking at him. For some long moments, their eyes locked, while the world around them faded away.

"I... I'd like to have another photo with you", whispered Nives in the end, trying desperately to come back to reality, "Again, only for strictly private use, that is", she added to reassure him.
