~*~
Lovina always had this habit of throwing things at Francesca whenever she was around, especially when the French woman was anywhere near Ana. No matter how many times Ana had tried to console her not to do such things the Italian just wouldn't stop. Then suddenly one day she had. Instead the young girl began to become afraid of the French woman when she was around and would go and hide in her room.
Ana could never really pin point when it had happened. She could take a guess and assume it might've happened when the Italian had one day just locked herself into her room and refused to leave. No matter what the Spanish woman tried, whether it was the promise of gelatos, a juicy tomato, or even cooking by her younger sister; nothing would work. She refused to leave, refused to eat, to allow anyone past the doors. It had taken a week before Ana's worry finally had her calling Gilberta over to help her break down the door only to find the girl sick worse than normal.
Between the visits from the medic and her worries for her young charge she never noticed the sad looks her Prussian friend would send the girl when she wasn't looking or how Francesca always seemed busy whenever she gave her a call. She had been completely oblivious to whatever had made the young Italian lock herself away. But her worries slowly went away when the girl one day began to act as normal and began once again to throw her fits and tantrums as though nothing ever happened.
Even to this day, with her love all grown up she could only laugh and allow the Italian to hide behind her when Francesca was in the same room. And if it were to be that time of the month for the Italian, Ana would refuse to let anyone over besides Gilberta or Felice just in case her dear Lovi managed to ever pick the lock to her old axe. Even Francesca knew better to go near the Italian then.
