—There would be no problem, after all you and I are... dating, we are something and not just any couple that walks hand in hand through the streets of Italy, we are owners of this place.

—Exactlyprincipessa, we can do anything.

Kiss my lips, when we feel that the fire begins to grow, we better take off to continue eating. At the end of the day we take down everything we need for breakfast, Cookie runs out to play in the yard and we see that Leone is ready with Trixi and Domenico by his side. They are well dressed, we both stop before them.

"We're going to go to the park for a while so Trixi can play and get some air," Leone informs. We won't be long, we may take care of the food, would pizzas be okay for you?

"Yes, they must be careful," says Salvatore, who continues to hold my hand tightly. Take part of the escort so you don't have problems and don't take long, although we haven't seen Alessio's people nearby, it's better not to trust us.

—See you later, Gin is playing cards with David.

Domenico adds, Trixi rushes towards my legs and hugs them.

"We'll bring flowers for you, Aunt Meg," she comments, full of emotion. For what a warrior you were in battle.

—Don't worry, honey, have fun.

—Yes, I promise, I'm going to play a lot.

—Don't let your father rest, honey.

—Of course not, neither lion nor Dom are going to rest! —She catches both of their hands—. We'll play a lot, goodbye Uncle Salvatore, goodbye Aunt Meg.

We both wave goodbye to her when the front door closes. Hearing the laughter coming from the living room we go with them, my smile becomes bigger than it already was when I see my best friend sitting on the carpet playing cards with Ginevra. We both take a seat next to him, I let Salvatore put me between his legs, allowing my back to be pressed against his chest. Cookie sits next to us while playing with one of her many toys that she had requested online.

—What are they doing here?

—We play, David feels better.

I turn to see my best friend whose skin is still a little battered by everything they did to him in that place, he extends his hand so that I can intertwine my fingers with his, I caress his palm and he gives me the necessary calm with one of his Prettiest smiles I've ever seen.

"I feel much better, I have been following the doctors' recommendations and I think sleeping has also helped me recover," he confesses, leaving his hand of cards face down on the table. At school I gave my resignation, I can't come this way and tell the director everything I went through, everything that happened with Norma because that would upset the parents of each of my students and it is understandable.

—What happened with Norma?

I ask into the air, Ginevra hands me my letters and does the same with Salvatore, who makes a slight sound with his throat to intervene in the conversation.

—I made them talk to their relatives, regarding David's issues, it was made clear to the school where they worked that you had nothing to do with that murder. "My brothers and I take care of that matter." He kisses my cheek, I inhale his scent. We hope that at some point they will have the opportunity to return to their jobs.

-And your brothers?

I ask another question because right now my interest is in my best friend who should not have suffered because of any of this. I know how hard he is with his family, the issue of racing and the value of the last name made him no longer look for anything in his family. In fact, when the ritual took place I was thinking about my parents, the other family that I had always carried on my back for issues that I had not been able to resolve.

I also didn't want people who were only consuming my energy or thoughts throughout my life, I'm sure that soon I will have to talk to Salvatore. I must visit them, I must know something about them to be able to define what to do because I am sure of one thing and that is that my family is no longer like before, it was never perfect, it was never the family that I would have wanted. It is an issue that I will soon solve.

—Nothing at all, you know that my parents are only interested in maintaining the status of our surname, the level that will always keep them happy even if they are not —he takes his hand of cards and analyzes them—. Emily, I don't need millionaire brothers to always rub in my face that I chose a shitty career and that I will never be someone interesting or valuable in my life. I only need you, my sister.

—And I will always need you too, brother.

-Well let's get started.

The four of us play, the maids bring croquettes to my dog and they bring us a couple of delicacies that I don't hesitate to devour. Fresh drinks with those ices and decorations giving it an elegant touch refresh my soul. I continue with the game, we play several games until the table is filled with a couple of meats, fish and wines that this time neither of us refuses. The four of us stayed talking in the living room for several hours, I leaned against Salvatore's body and his muscular arms hug me, filling me with affection.

-You feel good?

"Yes, very good," I raise my glass, "this wine is very good."

—It's the most expensive one we have in the house, you can drink whatever you want, but you have to be careful.
