Kindle Notes & Highlights
“To quote someone much smarter than me—my mama—life has a way of bringing us what we need when we need it,”
“To accept help when offered, knowing it wasn’t charity—it was friendship.”
Inside the SUV, Theo groaned. “Mom, can you kiss Stefo later, like a rain check? I’m starving and I need to eat. I think my legs are gonna fall off, I’m so hungry.”
It was a new job for me, yet one I had a feeling I wanted to claim for the rest of my life.
“You feel so fucking good.” “Sei più bella di un angelo.” “Take my cock, yes, like that. Just like that.” “Siamo fatti l'uno per l'altro.”
“You bring her here. I meet her. She will see nothing to be frightened of. Family protect family.” She met my eyes. “You make her your family, then she is part of this family, Stefano.”
“Careful, Stefo,” Theo said, sounding worried. “If you keep kissing Mommy, you’ll fall asleep, and I don’t know how to drive yet.”
“You’re not ready, I know. But I wanted you to know how I was feeling. I’m here for you. With you. I’m not going anywhere, Tesoro. Whatever you need, whatever I can do, I’m here.” He smiled, his eyes soft, his voice dripping with love. “You’re not alone anymore. You never will be again.”
“I missed you, Stefo! When we played the tote game, I thought I wouldn’t see you anymore.” He screwed up his face. “I don’t like that game.”
“Say it again, Tesoro.” “I love you, Stefano Borelli. I love you with all my heart.” He sighed. “Those are my favorite words in the entire world.” “They’re all for you.” He kissed me again. “Good.”
