Chapter Six

Emily cuddled Giorgio close as she walked out of Naples Airport. At her side, Savino pushed a fully laden luggage trolley, stacked with her bags of clothes and the baby things they had rescued from her flooded cottage.

The last few days had been surreal. She felt as though her life had been turned upside down. Instead of being able to take Giorgio home to the sanctuary of her warm, cozy cottage when she left the hospital, she'd had to move into a rented flat in the middle of Truro for a few days.

The torrent had swept through Robin's Cove and wreaked havoc, flooding the ground floor of her cottage along with many others, and undermining one wall of the Smuggler's Haunt so it was now propped up with huge metal stanchions. Two fishermen's cottages that were over three hundred years old were completely destroyed, killing three people.

In one night, her life had been irrevocably changed. As Giorgio came into the world, nature laid waste to her village and her community. Her emotions fluctuated wildly from pure joy to devastation, and she frequently burst into tears.

Floodwater had eroded the road into Robin's Cove, and the emergency services had cordoned off the village. The only way to reach it now was by using Seth's quad bikes from the Outdoor Pursuits center.

Visiting her home to salvage what she could had been heartbreaking. Without Savino, she wasn't sure she'd have survived. He was there for her all the time, holding her when she cried, anticipating her every need, running baths, making hot drinks, changing Giorgio's diaper, and making himself indispensible.

Any thought of sending him away became unthinkable. She simply wouldn't have coped without him. She was far from certain that going to Italy was a good idea, but it was the only option right now. Even though she was still not certain if Savino really loved her, there was no doubt in her mind that he adored his son and would do anything for him. Right now, that was good enough.

Emily followed Savino out of the sliding glass doors at Naples Airport. Even in December, Italy greeted her with a waft of warm wind fragranced with that indefinable scent of a hot country.

"There's my brother." Savino headed for a silver SUV parked in the pickup zone by the terminal building.

A classically handsome man wearing jeans and a sweater, who looked like a laid-back version of Savino, climbed out of the vehicle and came around to meet them.

"Well, you are full of surprises," he said in Italian, embracing Savino. "A son! And you never said a word."

Savino laughed wryly as he stepped back and put his arm around Emily's shoulders. "Emily, meet my brother, Leo."

Leo kissed her cheeks and smiled down at Giorgio. "He looks like a Marin. Violet is going to love him. She keeps asking for a brother or sister."

While Leo loaded the luggage into the car, Savino offered his arm to help Emily into the backseat. Then he leaned in to watch her settle Giorgio in the baby car seat that Leo had installed for them.
