The fireflies return and light up the foliage that surrounds us. Michael and I reel over the pool, around Dad and Rama gawking at us. And then behind the waterfall, splashing right through the middle of it. Water cascades over us but we don’t care. We laugh and dance and love every moment of it.

Chapter 16

Dante

The stone door to the pretty pink bedroom opened with a scraping noise. Dante, who had been talking to Vaughn in the main chamber, went rigid at the sound. It had taken almost three hours and all of his patience not to barge in on Isatou and Sophia. Isatou’s potion was his last hope; if the memories buried within Sophia’s subconscious could not be summoned, Dante would be forced to give up. Tempering his anticipation, he held his breath and slowly turned.

Isatou and Ka walked quietly along the hallway, side by side and stone-faced. They came to a stop before Dante. Isatou moved off to join Vaughn, leaving Ka to face Dante alone.

He forced a tense smile. “I…hope it wasn’t too…unpleasant?” His question was soft with a pleading sort of quality. He had no idea what to expect. Sophia’s blank expression gave nothing away. When he glanced nervously at Isatou, Sophia rushed at him with sudden rage.

“Mi hai ucciso!!” She beat her fists against his chest. “You killed me! You killed me!” Dante threw his arms around her, holding her against him while she wailed. She fought and cursed and writhed in his arms. She accused him of murdering their love, of cheating them out of a happy life together.

He closed his eyes and hugged her fiercely, so overcome with relief and joy that he trembled. The sound of her voice in his native tongue was honey to his ears. “Lovaria! Mio dolce amore. It’s you! Finally, you are here!”
