Chapter Fifteen

“I am just in love with the culture and the history of Milan.” Emelia let out an enchanted sigh as she cradled her head in her palm across the table.

“That was a little over exaggerated, honey.”

Chloe nodded and took a sip of her Chardonnay that paired deliciously with her shrimp scampi. It was a little heavy of a course to choose for lunch, but they were in Italy, and she could always save the leftovers for dinner that night.

“Maybe a little.”

“How about a lot.”

“You can’t deny it, Chloe. There is so much to adore about this place,” she agreed. “Italy is a romantic, beautiful country. You can’t blame me for being a little excited.”

They both took another drink. At this rate, they’d be drunk in no time.

“Speaking of romance,” Emelia cracked a curious grin and lightly touched Chloe’s arm in a spirited way. “How are things going with you and Roman?”

Chloe leaned back in her chair and placed her fork delicately back on the table, swallowing her bite of pasta before speaking again.

“Pretty well,” she nodded with a smile of optimism. She covered her mouth with the tips of her fingers as she dabbed her mouth with the soft white linen napkin from her lap.

“That’s great.” Emelia inspected Chloe, crossing her arms. “I’m seriously happy for you.”

Chloe took another sip of her wine. “We are taking things slow right now.”

“That’s understandable,” Emelia nodded. “You both are going through a lot of shit right now.”

Chloe laughed and glanced at the city streets outside the window, bustling with people going about their days. “Tell me about it.”

“But... you like him?” Emelia searched Chloe’s eyes as if she were trying to find approval there.

“Of course!” Chloe tossed her friend an exuberant grin. “He’s a great guy. You’re right though; we are both going through some tough shit right now.”

Emelia shrugged. “Perhaps what doesn’t kill you doesn’t make you stronger. Maybe you both can use the weaknesses happening in your life to bring you closer together.”

In theory, it made sense, and she couldn’t blame Emelia for sharing her two cents on the matter. She just wasn’t sure if she was ready to go down the serious relationship path with Roman, even though he had intimately gone down on her on several occasions. It was fun, and maybe that’s all it was meant to be.

In an effort to spare Emelia’s feelings, because she knew that she was also close to Roman through Trevor, Chloe grinned. “You are probably right.”

Emelia gave her a skeptical look. She was like another sister, reading her almost as well as Ashley did.

“Are you sure everything is okay?” Emelia frowned.

Chloe sighed, wishing that Emelia didn’t have a remarkable talent for reading her like an open book. “Yes, I promise.”

She didn’t want Emelia to press her on the matter. For an unknown reason, she wasn’t in the mood to hammer out excuses on how fast or slow her relationship with Roman was grooving along. She didn’t know the answer to that herself.
