Of course, sometimes you just know. Sometimes you know you don't know. Sometimes you are really unsure and a further espresso doppio doesn't help. Sometimes you know you are crazy, bewildered and should be doing something more serious and although you stretch on the surprisingly uncomfortable café chair at the edge of La Plaza Mayor and stare into the distance, guidance doesn’t come.
But sometimes you do just know. It’s her smile as she walks through the cool of the statue’s shadow towards you. It’s the warmth of her hug. It’s knowing you can stop fretting for a few hours.
