The drive to where the Vedova Nera residence was located was more pleasant than Samuel had expected it to be. Not say that he minded being around Jovanni or that he wouldn't make good company. It was more that it was a different experience from when he drove with Lena who seemed to prefer to keep a peaceful quiet between the two of them when they were together.
Compared to the princess, his cousin was far more talkative about the things that he didn't mind bringing up. There were still a number of things however that he didn't answer when Evalyn or her son asked about it. He put it in the category of having to wait until they got there.
The things he didn't mind talking about where related to family, what the residence was like, what to expect when they got there as far as manners, introductions and behavior.
