The Scene: A bustling outdoor market in Rome - stalls overflowing with peaches, olives, ceramics, and of course, gelato.

The Roman Echoes

**(Picture shows two people - maybe them slightly blurry from the crowd) ”

The sound is glorious – the chatter of vendors hawking their wares, the clinking of glasses at a nearby table, and the perfect soundtrack: the lilting laughter of Clara.”

Clara (28), bundled up in a cozy scarf despite the Mediterranean sun, grumbles good-naturedly as she nearly trips over her own feet, juggling a basket overflowing with plump peaches. She's on holiday in Rome with friends, but tonight, she decided to venture out solo for an evening of deliciousness and exploration."

“Just need to find thosealmonds for Nonna’s biscotti,” she mutters, eyes scanning the stallholders when suddenly…a near disaster!”

A cascade of oranges rolls down the cobblestones, threatening to land directly in front of the perfectly-formed gelato being enjoyed by a handsome stranger.”

That man is Leo (30). He’s sketching in a notebook, oblivious to the world until now, happily slurping his pistachio gelato. He’s been working abroad for years, chasing the artist's dream, and this trip back to Rome has felt bitingly familiar…”and perhaps a little lonely”.”

The oranges hit the ground with a gentle thump. And then, eyes meet.”

Leo looks up, intrigued not only by the tumbling fruit, but also by Clara’s slightly flustered expression as she scrambles to retrieve them.”

"Oh, excuse!" she says, a touch breathless, a hint of embarrassment in her voice, as she reaches for a particularly juicy peach. But instead of frustration, she catches a flash of smile on Leo's face.”

His English isn’ t quite right," they overhear someone say, “Maybe he's asked her about the peaches”.

There’s a simple exchange – "They were ripe," she replies, nodding towards the cart - and a hesitant hand gestures towards a single, glistening peach offered.”

For next few minutes, the couple is lost in each other’s company - the buzz of the market fades away as if there nothing else around except them, the golden fruits, and a growing sense of connection.”

As they take a bite, another vendor setsts down a bowl of fresh basil and soon enough, both have smiles on their faces.”

Suddenly, the sounds of the city come rushing back—theobvious question: which gelato flavour should they try?”

Two hands reach for the same cone – hazelnut – and the camera focuses on the tips of their fingers, almost touching. ”

Cut to close-up of the fingers joining together!”
