Yet, in her heart, she cherished the hope that she was her father, Enzo's favourite. On the day Gaby's first baby, Kitty, is born, Enzo suddenly dies.

And in the heat and bustle of Rome itself, Gaby encounters once again the man everyone thought she would marry. Suddenly, all Gaby's certainties are shaken.
