"You won’t miss him?"
I hesitate.
"Aww," she pats my cheek, "look at you, so much in love. And all along, I thought after Xander you wouldn’t be able to—" She claps a hand over her mouth. "Shit, didn’t mean to blurt that out."
"It’s okay." I grimace.
"No, it’s not." She slaps her forehead with her palm. "You know me. Always saying things without thinking them all the way through. Shit, why can’t I learn to be more like you?"
"You don’t want to be like me." I wince.
"Why not?" She frowns, "You are petite, gorgeous, curvy, you run your own successful business, and now, you are marrying one of the most powerful men in the city."
"The jury is out on that," I murmur.
"What do you mean?"
"He’s not one of the existing Sovrano brothers."
"Eh?" She tilts her head, "You are not making sense."
"He’s, ah, Xander’s long-lost triplet."
She opens and shuts her mouth. "Are you serious?" she finally chokes out. "Didn’t Xander’s twin Christian get married very recently?"
"Yep, and I am going to marry Axel, his triplet. Hislong-losttriplet."
"Oh?"
"Y-e-a-p." I step back from her. "A triplet who, likely, hates all of his brothers and who is only marrying me as a way of consolidating his position within the Cosa Nostra."
She blinks rapidly, "So you mean you are marrying him because—?"
"I want to," I murmur. "In fact, I am the one who proposed to him—"
"Get out of here," she laughs, "you proposed to one of themademen of the Cosa Nostra?"
"So?" I scowl at her, "Can’t women propose to men?"
"Of course, they can. It’s just, you—"
"What about me?" I fold my arms across my chest.
"I mean, it’s just you, Theresa. You have always been shy and self-effacing and—"
"Just because I am the quiet one doesn’t mean I don’t know what I want."
"I didn’t say that—"
"Then what do you mean?"
Sara blows out a breath, "I am not trying to fight with you, big sis. I know you and I, in the past, have not always seen eye to eye—"
"That’s putting it lightly," I scoff.
She chuckles, "You really have changed since I last saw you."
"Which was, like, almost a year ago."
