And that would have been an unfathomable loss.
“It’ll be good to have you back home safe and sound.”
“Amen.”
Niccolo chuckled. “Alright… 6 PM tomorrow.”
“Talk to you shortly before then. Give everyone my regards.”
“Will do.”
Then I hung up.
I walked over to Lucia, who had finished up her Danishes. She looked at me with wide eyes.
“…well?” she asked with trepidation.
“We’re getting picked up tomorrow evening and going to my family’s place.”
“Yaaay!” she squealed as she hugged me. Then she pulled back her head to look up at me. “Not that this three weeks with you hasn’t been the best time of my life, but…”
The best time of my life.
I felt the exact same way, and I smiled at her. “Let’s make the next three weeks even better – with a soft bed, hot meals, and a safe place to stay.”
She stood up on her tiptoes, I bent down, and we kissed.
When she pulled back, she had a worried look on her face. “What about Nona?”
“She’s fine – but my brother thinks it’s best if we hang out in Tuscany for a while.”
“But she’s not in any danger?”
“A little… but Niccolo made it sound like she’s thriving.”
“Yeah, that would be Nona,” Lucia said wryly.
“The only thing bothering her is she’s worried about you.”
“Well, I’m in good hands,” Lucia beamed – then begged, “Can we stay in an actual hotel tonight while we wait?”
“It’s still too dangerous.”
“…okay,” she agreed, her voice disappointed but not petulant.
“Let’s go buy enough food for tonight and then go find a new place.”
“Can we get a bottle of wine and fuck like bunnies?” she asked with a naughty smirk.
I laughed. “Sounds good to me.”
Lucia’s eyebrows rose up, and she looked down at where her belly was pressed against my crotch. “I felt that, you know.”
“You keep talking about fucking like bunnies, we might have to go get that hotel right now.”
“Fuck like bunnies, fuck like bunnies, fuck like bunnies,” she chanted.
I laughed, swatted her on the butt, and turned her around. “Come on, let’s go.”
