At 12'oclock the next day Bianca met Antonio at the dilapidated fountain outside of her apartment. She had attempted to recover as best as she could from her dull hangover and the lingering feeling of shock that remained at the thought that Anotino was here in Watershed Heights.
As she approached the fountain she admired the bulkiness of his Italian stature that could only be achieved by enumerable hours in the gym. It was hard to believe he was able to fit in such a rigorous workout schedule with all of the tanning and laundering he partook in daily. Bianca and Antonio exchanged a few polite words of conversation but after a moment the two had returned to their usual friendly banter catching up on the lives of the other. Bianca's anger was slowly lifted, wondering how she could have ever blamed such a beautiful man for her departure from the mansion.
The two strolled, with arms linked to the strange carnival that Bianca had encountered the previous night. They spent the day watching the goat races and riding the backwards carousel. The two laughed at a nun who seemed to be romancing with a middle-aged clown. When a grease fire exploded late in the day the two were finally brought back to reality in realizing that their day of romance was coming to a close.
After escaping the frantic crowds Antonio pulled Bianca close and looked deeply into her eyes, "You must return to the mansion with me".
"You know they don't want me any more Antonio, I am not exactly the woman I used to be!" she replied in slight annoyance.
"Bianca, I have been studying the art of healthy Italian Cuisine. We will work together to regain the life you once had!"
At this point a whirl of emotion washed over the young Guidette. The thought of returning to her home with Hugh and all of her beautiful friends was almost too much. Did she even want to return? The questions and the emotions became overwhelming causing her to exclaim, "I have to go!". She ran far far from Antonio and spent the next hour looking for the exit to the unusual carnival.
