“Hi.” Is my brilliant line. Fucking twat! I’m tongue-tied like a sinner in church.
Luca continues to stare at me, looking as tongue-tied as I am, so Gavriel steps up to bat.Up to bat?The fuck? Even in my thoughts, my Texas twang is coming out with all this tension.
“Luca, this is someone I think you’ve been looking for or perhaps, thought you lost a long time ago.”
I squeeze his hand to stop him. I want to be the one to introduce myself and now that I’ve mentally kicked my own ass, I’m ready.
“I’m Anastasia Romano, your sister.”
I don’t know what I expected. Maybe some gasping or shock. Hell, I even expected anger. It would be understandable if he thought this was some sort of fucked up joke. What I didn’t expect is the bone crushing hug I get. Luca wraps me in his arms and pulls my tight against him with his hand on the back of my head. Exactly as you’d hold a child to you. It feels as if something clicked in place.
A longing that’s been quelled.
I hear his cracked and raspy voice, “Sia! Mi sei mancata così tanto, sorellina!I’ve missed you little sister, so much!” He pulls back and cups my face. “I’ve looked for you all these years.” I see tears on his cheeks and I guess I have some on mine because he wipes them and then pulls me back in for a hug.
Over my shoulder I hear Gavriel say, “Let’s go somewhere private so we can all talk. There’s much you need to know, Luca. Your sister has been searching for you as well, but the conversation would be best with drinks, yeah?”
“Of course, Mr. Renzetti. Is there an office we can sit in?” It shocks me a little when he formally answers Gavi but then again, they have met before just without knowledge of the past. It seems Gavriel smiles and takes my hand while Luca takes my other hand.
Both of my men holding my hands and standing on either side of me.
My life has never felt more complete.
I’ll kill the motherfucker who tries to ruin it.
