Sicily in winter has a charm of its own. The tourists flee, leaving behind a raw beauty that resonates with my soul. Near Scopello, the beaches lie bare, like an unclaimed kingdom waiting for its ruler. I visited the house that day, the one perched so perfectly at the cliff's edge, overlooking the vast expanse of the Mediterranean. The sun played tricks with the shadows, casting serene patterns on the faded, pastel walls. I wanted that house, desperately. But I had learned in my line of work that desperation is a scent easily detected and exploited.
