I must have looked like the abominable snowman when I arrived. I certainly felt like it, but Bianca’s laughter made it all worth it. She took one look at me and bent over with laughter. It was nice to hear her laugh so hard. It had been a while since I’d heard her laugh like that.
I was so happy and relieved to see her, but I didn’t rush her the way I wanted to. The desire to scoop her into my arms and hold her close and tell her all the things I needed to say before and since she’d left me alone nearly overwhelmed me.
A part of me considered if I should let her go. Just like Mia said. I’d pulled her into the mafia life knowing what the consequences were. I hadn’t thought beyond wanting her, then, loving her.
Now, I’d had plenty of time to think, and seeing the light of her eyes… I didn’t want to think anymore. I wanted her to come back to me.
