“I want to marry you, Tesoro,” I said honestly. “Buy a house together and build a life. Make that baby for Theo. Take you to Mama’s on Sundays.” She blinked. “You’re going fast again, Stefano.” I winked. “Breaking the speed limit. You gonna join me or give me a ticket?” For a moment, she said nothing. Then she smiled. “I’m right beside you.” I pulled her close. “Ti amo, Gabby. My tesoro. My life.” She snuggled close. “Amore,” she sighed.
