One evening she asked,
“Mommy, are you going to marry Daddy?”
I nearly dropped my plate.
Dominic looked at me.
He smiled.
“I'd like that.”
I stared.
“You don't have to answer now.”
“I know.”
He took my hand.
“I've spent my life forcing people to stay.”
His voice softened.
“I don't want that anymore.”
He waited.
“I want you to choose me.”
I cried.
Then I said yes.
The wedding was small.
No mafia.
No weapons.
Just family.
Lily scattered flowers.
Daniel cried.
Dominic looked at me as though the entire world had disappeared.

I whispered,
“I love you too.”
