"Much more so than this October. There, all done," she said as she handed the last dish to Vincenzo, turned off the tap and finally wiped the sink area clean and dry.
"My to-do list is growing all the time. When I get one thing done, three take its place. I tracked down one previous owner and a chef, he lives in New York these days. I was hoping to arrange a meeting with him some time in July," she said. Once Vincenzo was also done drying, she turned off the excess lights in the kitchen as they moved to the living room instead. Dinner eaten and cleaned up, they could relax for the evening now.
