She had become accustomed to catching the mother superior crying; it had happened several times in the month and a half since Claudia had arrived. And every time, it had been when Sorella Agata was whipping up one of her creations. Except for the first time, when Claudia had witnessed Sorella Agata crying while she was making her cannoli filling, Claudia had refrained from asking her why she was crying. She wasn’t even convinced that the real reason for Sorella Agata’s crying was the one she had given while she was making cannoli: because of Rosalia. Claudia had never been one to rely on intuition, but it was telling her now there was more to Sorella Agata’s tears. Then again, Claudia had almost cried several times upon hearing all that poor Rosalia had gone through. Claudia was beginning to get impatient. While she couldn’t deny that Rosalia’s story was intriguing, and she was beginning to see how the young woman’s natural talent for baking would’ve inspired Sorella Agata, Claudia’s stay here in Sicily would be over soon, and the mother superior still had not gotten to her part of the story.
