If only the good people of Boston knew what an unbelievably bad loser their queen also was!
"Do you even know what good 'sportsmanship' means,signora?" Cat asked seriously.
Potenziana did not dignify such words with an answer. Why must she when that would mean allowing the younger woman another point? And so she changed the subject instead, saying briskly, "Enough with such inconsequential matters."
"It's not inconsequential—-"
"Has he fallen in love with you yet?"
"I know you know the answer to that, and you just want to crow some more, but..."
Potenziana threw her head back and laughed as Cat finished recounting her failed attempt to confess her love.
"It's not funny,signora," Cat grumbled.
"Oh, but it is,bambina."

Potenziana waved the words away. "Let's get back on topic."
"That was literally what I suggested just seconds ago," Cat protested.
"My youngest grandson believes I did not have 'love' in mind when I picked you out to be his bride,sì?"
Cat nodded.
"Did he mention why I chose you then?"
"I didn't have a chance to ask."
"And that's quite unfortunate," Potenziana murmured, "since you only have two months to win him over."
"So, um, about those two months..."
