My mind is a whirl of activity. Luca basically bared his soul for me, told me about the most tragic moment in his life, and I held on to the one thing that I’ve held tight to my chest...the entire reason I went to Texas in the first place.

To confront my father.

To find out where I came from.

To find out why no one has ever wanted me.

Only, I happened upon the best man I’ve ever met in my life. And now, I get to claim him as my own, just as he proclaims I’m his. I feel like a giddy teenager once that thought enters my mind. Then the guilt sets in and I have to get up and get away from him before it eats me alive. Slowly, I slide myself from under his arms. Knowing I need some time, but not wanting to disappear from him completely today, I decide to go get breakfast to show him appreciation for his compassionate nature he opened up and shared with me, once again, last night. I look over at Lucy, who just raises her head, lets out a doggy breath, and lays back down to sleep. Completely dismissing me, and since I’m not trying to wake Luca, I decide to let her be...for now. Rushing over to my room, I get some ‘appropriate’ clothes for in town running around on and fast walk out to my car. Looking up at the sky, it’s still dark and the smell of rain still lingers in the air.

Not paying attention to where I’m walking, I end up planting a foot in a slick rain puddle and find myself slipping and landing on my back end. “Son-of-a-bitch!” I curse my luck. As I lay there on my back contemplating my luck and lack of finesse, I notice a shadow lingering over me.

“What are you doing on the ground?” Luca asks as he leans over, sleep still evident in his voice and features. His hair is tussled, the short locks on top all laying in different directions.

“Hey there, Luca. I’m just enjoying the cool breeze on my skin.” I go for humor since I don’t like to admit how clumsy I am.

“Oh yeah? How is it from your position?” He tries to hide the chuckle forming in his throat from me, but I have to admit he’s not being very successful at doing so.

“Are you making fun of me, Luca Callahan?” I inquire with a quirk of my eyebrow.

“Who, me? Never.” He finally lets a laugh free as he holds his hand out to help me get up. As I go to take his hand, Lucy thinks we’re playing and jumps on top of my chest and begins licking my face.

“Lucy!” I try to scold her but end up laughing so hard that my body shakes with it. Luca leans down and scoops her up, then once again holds his hand out to me to help me up. Now that I’m standing, he tugs me close and gives me a smacking kiss on the lips.
