“This isn’t what I pictured, but it’s so much better.”
“Okay,” I say, grinning like an idiot. “I’ll marry you.”
“Damn right you will.” He slides the ring on my finger, stands, and wrap me in his arms. The kiss he plants on my trembling lips is like heaven, like the first kiss but better—it’s a promise of all the days to come, all the kisses still waiting, the thousands of moments we’ll share, the highs and the lows, the pain and the pleasure. I want it all, and I want it with him. “You know, I’m glad you like this place, otherwise I just proposed to you in some random house.”
“Seriously, what if I hated it?”
“I would’ve called our realtor and told him to rescind the offer.”
“Angelo! You didn’t!”
“I know, don’t be angry. I just can’t wait a single day to start our life together.”
I kiss him hard and blink back the tears. “We’re really doing this, aren’t we?”
“We’re really doing it,” he confirms. “Buying a house. Having a kid. Getting married.”
“And working for the Scavo Famiglia.” I sigh and lean my head against his chest. “I never really pictured myself as the sole council for a gangster, you know.”
“You’ll pick up other clients, but I’m sure Carmine will pay you to stay exclusive too, if that’s what you want.”
“The fact that I have options is good enough for now.”
“And listen, no matter what you choose to do, I’m here.” He tilts my chin up and looks into my eyes. “Hear me? No matter what.”
“Even if the cops decide they want revenge for the whole Nicolas thing?”
“Especially then. I can’t wait to have an excuse to break some police knees.”
“You’re such a doll.”
He smirks and cups my face. “We both know you’re the doll here.”
I roll my eyes, but he kisses me, and I let him.
I don’t know how I ended up here in my house, with my husband and my baby, living my life.
But it feels good. And I’m not letting it go.
“Come on,” Angelo says and takes me by the hand. “Everyone’s waiting.”
“Everyone’s… waiting?”
“You know, your engagement party.”
“Angelo!”
“Sorry to ruin the surprise but I decided it’s not a great idea to shock a woman as pregnant as you are.”
“You’re insane.”
“Seriously, I’m really happy you liked this place.” He laughs as he leads me outside, into his truck, and away.
