Whenever your world starts crashing down, that's where you'll find me.

"Hereby, we inform you that we have chosen you for a working period of about three months (June, July, August). The work will consist in taking care of an apartment and cooking for its inhabitants. For details, we will meet the May 31st in Rome. Address and telephone number below. "

Sissi was reading the email received a few moments earlier, she was supposed to move to Rome for work. It wasn't a problem at all for her since the only thing she wanted was to work away from her country of birth and, most of all, her parents. He would have done any job and this, after all, was fine. She could not have easily accessed the job she desired, with his degree. She saved the phone number and marked the address. She ran to her parents, had just turned 26 but her father refused to treat her as an independent adult. He communicated the news to his whole family.

-But Sissi, are you sure? - the mother advanced worried about knowing her distant daughter. He thought about it, it wasn't far away. He lived in a small village in Naples, how far could Rome ever be?

-Mom, you know that Rome can be reached immediately.

-Yes, but you have to take care of this house. Servant ...-

-Mom, that's enough. It's a job. If they have chosen me it means that they need it and then it's okay to start. You know I need money.

-Do as you wish .- Upon hearing this sentence, Sissi took her leave. She didn't want to be conditioned by his parents once again. On the appointed day there were only 7 days left. She ran to his room, turned on the PC, answered the email that had received and started packing.

She decided to take only what she needed. Suddenly she noticed a new email in his mailbox, opened it and read: "Attached is the train ticket booked for May 30th". Sissi could not believe it, they had thought of everything.

She finished packing his suitcase, took the keys from his father's car and went out to visit her grandmother.

The week passed quickly, her parents were still hostile: they didn't believe it was a job suitable for their daughter to take care of inhabitants of a house, they didn't even believe she could take care of herself. "You are a child, they will send you home in a few weeks!" they said.

Her parents accompanied her to the station. They resigned themselves but were promised by their daughter that whatever had happened would call immediately. Sissi saluted quickly and boarded the train for Rome, the eternal city. She started to listen to music from her phone. She started the playlist of the band she listened to exhaustion: OneRepublic. She felt a certain admiration for those five characters, many of the songs touched her soul. She did not notice the passing time, she realized only by the metallic voice that the train had arrived at its destination. She took the suitcase with some difficulty and got out. She walked along the platform to the station exit. Sissi headed for a taxi ready to get to his destination when a completely black van caught his attention. A man in his thirties was leaning against the open door and holding a sign with his surname: "Rinaldi". She thought that all this could not be a coincidence, first the ticket then this. She aproached.

-Miss Elisabetta Rinaldi? - asked the man.

-Yes I am.-

-So please, go up. I am in charge of accompanying you to the apartment where you will work. I'm Marco.-

-A pleasure to meet you .- Sissi started to lift the suitcase but Marco took the suitcase and loaded it. They went up and left for the apartment. She saw the landscape that appeared before her: the ancient streets made her fantasize. They arrived at the apartment after twenty minutes, went down and the beautiful Spanish Steps appeared in Sissi's eyes.

-You start going up, miss Sissi, enter that door, I'll be right there. -

-You can also call me Sissi! - he said moving her hair from her face.

-Okay Sissi, I'll take your suitcase and arrive.- Sissi looked again behind her and entered a door indicated to her by Marco. She stopped and waited for the boy who appeared immediately after a few seconds. He stopped in front of her and handed her the keys.
-These are the keys to the apartment. They told me to give them to you, someone will come in an hour to explain everything.- the girl nodded only. Marco led the way up the stairs and stopped on the top floor. Sissi opened with the keys that had been given to her. The most beautiful house she could ever imagine appeared before her eyes. The modern style was mixed with the ancient one of the structure of the house. The cream colour of the ancient walls went well with the dove-gray furniture. She stopped before the few steps that led to the large sofa embedded in a large space at a lower level than the rest of the floor. Marco accompanied her to her room which was next to the kitchen, it was not like the rest of the house but still fantastic and equipped with a personal bathroom with a huge bathtub. Sissi really couldn't have asked for more. She left the suitcase and followed Marco to the kitchen.
