“More fortification for the border?” Annamarie asked.
He shook his head. “Soldiers don’t arrive in cars. Father said something about electrical-company men coming.”
She frowned. Were there problems with the generators?
He swung down from the crook of the tree. “They’re from Bolzano, and some are staying at Jutta Hanny’s inn. There’s so many of them, the Il Dante is full.”
Annamarie stared at the cars. From the city!
Only when Sebastiano touched the toe of her boot did she notice him again. “Are you coming then?” he asked. “Father will tan my hide if I don’t get back to the shop.”
She nodded. She was not going home though. Going by the inn was better than facing her affronted family.
