“A little tender but it’s alright. Your husband has a mean right hook.”
“He’s just angry.”
“He has every right to be angry,” I say.
“Well I think he’s being a hypocrite,” Elena says crossing her arms over her chest. “It’s not like he’s never slept with someone he wasn’t supposed to before.”
That makes me laugh. “True. And the woman he slept with was my sister so I guess he’s got one over me. All I did was sleep with the enemy’s daughter.”
“That’s all you did?” Elena questions. It feels like an accusation. Which I deserve.
I groan softly, “No, that’s not all. Pretty sure I fell for her in the process,” I mumble.
“What’s that? I didn’t hear you?” Elena prompts, her mouth widening into a grin.
I throw a pillow at her face and she laughs.
“I can’t believe this. So you actually have feelings for someone. You like her?”
“Yeah,” I say on a sigh. “It’s annoying but I like her.”
“It’s not annoying, it’s wonderful. Tell me everything. How did you meet?”
By the time I’m done recounting our entire relationship, Elena has a smug grin on her face.
“That is, the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard. The both of you are like Romeo and Juliet,” she beams.
I make a face, “Not a fan of the comparison,sorella. Especially since those two idiots got themselves killed.”
“Right, of course.”
We relapse into silence for a couple of seconds.
“She’s pregnant,” I say mostly to myself.
It’s the first time I’ve said it. The first time I’ve been willing to admit it to myself.
“Apparently, yes,” Elena says. “How does that make you feel?”
“I don’t know. How am I supposed feel?”
Elena’s eyes soften, “I can’t tell you how to feel, Tony.”
“It’s just fucked up. She’s carrying a baby, my baby. And I’m supposed to what?”
My sister’s eyes narrow, “Take her in if she wants to, help her raise the child.”
I wave a hand in the air, “Of course that’s a foregone conclusion. You think Sophia will let me go scot-free if I even think about abandoning her. I’m pretty sure she can kick my ass. She scares me sometimes.”
Elena laughs. “Awnn, that’s cute. So what’s the problem?”
“Oh you know,” I shrug, “The fact that I still want to murder her father and destroy her family for what they did to ours. Just that tiny issue, no biggie.”
“Oh, right,” Elena says on a sigh. “You guys and your dumb revenge.”
My eyes snap up and I glare at her. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”
“I mean that I’ve made peace with our mother’s death and I’ve moved on. What’s killing Eduardo Mincetti going to do? It can’t bring her back.”
