When I dive under the sheets that night, Helena knocks on my bedroom door in tears. She doesn’t need to say a word—Ben. I hold her tightly and comfort her like she always does for me. I don’t want her to be alone with her own thoughts. Not tonight. To avoid spiraling out of control at this stage is vital.

I turn to my side and Helena spoons me from behind, slithering her arm around my waist. I squeeze her hands, knowing just how important she is to me. After this exhaustingly thrilling day, I need her with me too.

We hold onto each other just like when we were little.

I can feel the gaping hole in her heart. She misses him. Ben was an amazing man to her. A heroic firefighter. A proud father. For the past seven years, Helena has been unbelievably strong. I’m so damn proud of her. She’s my saving grace. Even through hell, we always find a way to pull each other out and that’s all I’ve wanted—to get through it.

“I’m so glad I have you, Helena.”

“Likewise,” she sighs and holds on tighter. My sweet Marc Jacobs perfume mixes with her rose scent. “Nothing will ever break us. No crime or man will ever come between us.”

“I promise. We’ve gone through too much to allow that to happen.”

“We’ve got to get out of this mess, Lencia.”

She’s the only one who calls me that besides Giulio.

“How?” I ask into the darkness.

“By keep on keeping on and putting ourselves first for once. We need to begin choosing our own lives.”

When Helena’s breaths soften and her hand falls limp, I know she’s asleep. And I know she’s right. Maybe it’s Bryce’s words about strength, or how I fathom my heart sinking if anything were to happen to Giulio, or the way life can flash before your eyes at the most unexpected moment…but I reach out to my bedside table and pick up my phone.

They say you never know what you have until it’s gone, and the second Giulio and the fantasy of marriage were stripped from me, I knew. I learned of the suffering rage inside my chest personally customized for me. I know what Giulio means to me. What he’s always meant to me. He means home.
