Isabella D'Angelo found herself seated at a luxurious outdoor cafe with her family, basking in the warm glow of the afternoon sun. 

Her parents, Fran and Gabriella, sat at the head of the table, while her brothers—Giovanni, Lorenzo, Alessandro, and Riccardo—occupied the surrounding seats.

As they perused the menu, Giovanni steered the conversation toward college life. 

"So, Isa, how's college treating you?" he asked, a knowing twinkle in his eye.

Isabella smiled, grateful for the chance to share her experiences with her family.

"It's been incredible, Gio," she replied, excitement bubbling in her voice. "I've made some amazing friends, and the classes are challenging but rewarding."

Lorenzo nodded in agreement, sipping his espresso thoughtfully. "That's good to hear, Isa. College is a time for growth and exploration," he remarked, his tone reflective.

Meanwhile, Alessandro leaned in closer, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Speaking of exploration, have you met any... interesting boys on campus?" he teased, winking at his sister.

Isabella felt a blush creeping up her cheeks as she shot Alessandro a playful glare. 

"Oh, please. You boys are always so nosy," she quipped, rolling her eyes in mock exasperation.

Their mother, Gabriella, couldn't help but chuckle at the playful banter between her children. 

"Now, now, let's not tease poor Isa too much," she interjected, a mischievous glint in her eye. 

"Although I must say, it wouldn't surprise me if she caught the eye of a certain someone."

Isabella's cheeks flushed even deeper as she shot her mother a pleading look. "Mom, please," she pleaded, her embarrassment evident.

But her father, Fran, couldn't resist joining in on the fun. 

"Ah, young love. It's a beautiful thing," he remarked, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. 

"Just be sure to keep us informed, Isa. We wouldn't want any surprises."

Isabella groaned, sinking lower into her seat as her brothers erupted into laughter. 

"You guys are the worst," she muttered, though there was a hint of amusement in her voice.

As the laughter subsided, Isabella couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and belonging in her family's company. 

Despite their teasing, she knew that their love and support were unwavering, and she was grateful for each and every one of them.

And as they continued to enjoy their meal together, surrounded by laughter and love, Isabella couldn't shake the feeling that she was exactly where she was meant to be—surrounded by her cherished family, who would always have her back, no matter what.

Now the blunder is about to come!

The lover of Isa will come into her life and who knows?
