I wasn’t quite sure where my hairbrained scheme stemmed from, but being with Alexa made it all click in an instant. I wanted Alexa. Not just once, not just right now, but for a long time. I realized that Harley was right when he said that we shouldn’t rush things and risk losing her. That’s why we needed to bring her with us to Italy. She needed to see our family for what we truly were, and maybe she would know how to sort things out with Malia too. Originally, we’d decided to leave her out of it and just keep her safe from Malia’s wrath, but we were running out of time. Despite what he said, Harley had no plan, and if we went to Italy, Harley was going to have to marry that devil woman and then we’d definitely lose the chance to be with Alexa. We needed to take the risk that showing her everything wouldn’t scare her off. If she could handle the real Foxx family, then we’d know for sure she was the one.

She sat down on the couch, still holding Harley’s shirt around her. She looked good enough to eat, but now wasn’t the time to focus on that. We had to fill her in and see if she could come up with a plan where none of us could.

“Harley.” Alexa scooted a bit closer to him on the couch. “I could tell something’s been distracting all of you for a long time now. Even if I can’t solve the problem, I’ll find a way to help.”

Harley shook his head, looking at me with concern. “I still don’t think this is a great idea, Hux. We have no idea what the implications of this could be.”

I sat down on the other side of Alexa. “No, but we don’t have anything better.” I put my hands on her shoulders. “She’s the smartest thing we’ve got going right now. She can plan circles around us, so maybe she can figure this one out too.” I looked right into his eyes. He was scared; we all were. “We don’t have any other choice.”

Alexa was shaking a bit under my touch. She could sense the seriousness of the situation. Still, she reached out and took one of Harley’s hands into hers. “Don’t shut me out. Besides,” she giggled and nodded her head back towards me, “this one promised me a complete expose on your family, so…” I smiled, loving the way she was attempting to comfort him, and waited for Harley to say something. If he wasn’t on board, it would never work.

Finally, Harley closed his eyes and took a deep breath in. He held it there for about thirty seconds before exhaling and opening his eyes. He squeezed Alexa’s hand and nodded at me. “Okay.”

Alexa shot me a quick glance of satisfaction and then looked back at Harley. “Okay.”

He swallowed hard. “You know Malia, my,” he held up his hands to do air quotes, “‘Fiancee?’”

“Yeah. Is she not actually your fiancee?”

“She is, but not by choice,” Harley explained.
