Notes: I loved it here, but it would’ve been better if we got to drive around on bikes… my feet got tired. The experience was great and I LOVEEEEE food, so I enjoyed it!

“What you doing there?” Dillon asked as we were making our way back to the city.

“Travel note journals of everywhere we go.” I showed him the different notes I’ve made and he smiled at me.

“Are you getting tired? You look a bit flushed, baby.”

“I’m fine,” I persuaded, “I’m just hot and a bit sleepy but I’m doing good,” I reassured him. “Are you okay?”

“Yes, but I think we should take a little break to rest. It’s three now, so we can continue the tour at 3:30 so you can rest.”

I nodded and we pulled over the nearest sitting area.

“We’ve been dating for a while,” I noted, “it feels like forever.”

“That’s what being in love does to someone, precious.”

“Why me?”

He lifted his head from the phone and furrowed his eyebrows. “Huh?”

“Why did you pick me? We come from two different worlds.”

He laughed and then sighed. “I’ve always loved the thought of impossible and I’ve never felt more alive with anyone else but you. I think you underestimate your value in my life too much.”

I’m so in-love with him that it drives me insane and I just never want to stop loving him.

“How long did you know Annalise before you agreed to marry her?”

“About two years, why?”

“Nothing, I was just curious.” I shrugged and sipped my water.

He fixed his position in the chair and gently held my hand. “For what it’s worth, I won’t take that long to marry you. I’d have done it already but I want you to be more situated first. I know I’m going to marry you and put some gorgeous babies in you but your life just started.”

“How many babies?”

“Three or maybe four but I’ll take what I can get and you?”

“I never thought I’d ever have children if we’re being honest and that’s because I never thought I’d fall in love with anyone but, I’m good with two. I want a girl and a little boy, to be just like his daddy.”

I’m getting too carried away with this topic but the more I talked about it, the more beautiful my little daydreams became. “I want a little precious who’s as strong and golden as her mommy is.”

The only thought left in my head was that I hoped I’d be able to give him this when the time eventually came around.

CHAPTER 39

Azzaria

“Benvenuti a bordo!” The boat’s captain greeted us, which translated to ‘Welcome aboard.’ “This tour usually takes about four hours, taking us past Sorrento, Province of Naples, Campania, and then back here. Siete pronti?”

Dillon tightened his grip on my hand, and we made our way to our seats and the captain set sail. He looked a bit flushed and pale as soon as the boat started moving.

“Are you okay?”

He glanced at me for a moment before responding, waiting until everyone moved away from our area of the boat. “I’m just not a big fan of sea travel.”
