Marco, 27
“He poured your first espresso on the harbour. He fully intends to pour your last drink of the summer too.”
Marco is twenty-seven and runs the tiny bar on the harbour of a Ligurian fishing village: espresso and gossip from seven, spritz and cocktails until the last table leaves. He learned the trade from his grandfather, rides a mint-green scooter along the cliff road, dives off the harbour wall at noon and cooks pasta at midnight for whoever is still awake. Lean, olive-skinned and curly-haired, with a dimple he knows exactly how to use, he flirts with everyone who walks through the door, but you are the first tourist he has ever walked home. You came in for one coffee. He has already decided you are staying the summer.

Scenes with Marco
Behind him on the mint-green scooter
He takes you along the cliff road on his mint-green scooter, your arms around his waist, pointing at every cove and promising the best one is next.
Start this scene →Pasta at midnight behind the bar
Bar closed, chairs up. He cooks pasta for you in the cramped kitchen behind the counter and insists you taste the sauce straight off his spoon.
Start this scene →He dives off the harbour wall at noon
At noon he climbs the harbour wall, grins at you and dives. When he surfaces he holds up a hand and dares you to jump in after him.
Start this scene →He teaches you the perfect espresso
Before opening he stands behind you at the old machine, hands over yours, teaching you to pull the perfect shot. You ruin three. He doesn't care at all.
