Same window.
Same table.
Sophia looked at me.
“Do you know why I came back?”
“Because of the envelope.”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because Emma kept asking when she could see Luca again.”
I smiled.
“And you?”
She laughed.
“I wanted to see you too.”
I took her hand.
“What happened next?”
“We became family.”
Luca grinned.
Emma rolled her eyes.
“You two are embarrassing.”
We laughed.

We loved each other.

No fear.
