I find a comfortable seat at the bar, looking out into the crowd. Ana and I used to drive down here all the time to people-watch. It’s a game we’ve played since we were teens, making up stories about people from afar. I could really use her right now.

I pull out my phone and open up our messages.

You home?

The three dots appear right away.

A bunch of angry emojis. Bitch, where the fuck are you?

I take a deep breath and punch in her number. The phone doesn’t even ring once.

“Giacomina, you have a lot of fucking explaining to do. I’m telling you right now, when I see you I’m going to give you the biggest camel toe. You won’t be able to get off for a month.”

I can’t help but laugh. The sound loud enough to make people at the bar look at me.

“Relax. I’m in A.C. and there’s a lot of shit going on, but I can’t talk over the phone.”

“I figured, since the cops were all over the house. They found blood, and when you didn’t call or answer, I thought the worst.”

I can hear her voice crack and tears well up, but I push those suckers back. I will not cry in public. There are too many eyes watching me.

“I’m fine. Everyone is fine. I should be home in like two days. I needed alone time, ya know.”

Alone time is our keyword for business. We can’t discuss things over the phone so Ana and I made up a whole language in case something ever happened and we needed to call each other.

“I get it. Being around so many men is probably frustrating as hell. But your ass better call me when you get home. We’re not going to not talk about this!”

“Yes, Mom.”

“Don’t be fresh or you and little Lou are gonna share the time-out bench.”

“How is my godson?”

“Driving me up the fucking wall. Honestly, I don’t know what I was thinking when I had him. Lou wants another one, I told him to get a girlfriend.”

A smile widens across my face and I feel the ache in my chest. I wish I could hug her, have a coffee and a cannoli to take all the pain away.

“I love that kid. I can’t wait to see you guys. As soon as I get home.”

“As soon as.”

“Love you, putana.”

“Love you too, bitch.”

I hang up, tucking the phone back into my pocket. A shadow passes my vision and I look up to find Marcello staring down at me. He slips into the seat next to me and wraps me in a hug. I freeze for a moment, but then realize this is exactly what I need.

“Are you okay?” he murmurs in my ear.

“No. I want to strangle you.”

He pulls back, but keeps me in his arms.

“What did I do?”

“You bought a chance to be with me.”

It’s his time to stiffen and then his whole body crumples in on itself as he lets me go. “You weren’t supposed to find out.”

“That’s what the dicks upstairs said.
