I have to talk to Gina. I canât leave her out in the cold. Besides, Dante is her cousin, and heâll almost certainly call her eventually after he hasnât heard from me for a while. Itâs bad enough that Iâm icing him out. I canât do that to Gina too.
I call her after I leave my parentâs house.
âHi, M. Whatâs up?â
âI need to talk to you. Can you come over?â
âWhatâs wrong? You sound worried about something.â
âCan you come over, please? Iâll tell you when you get here.â
âUh, sure. Iâll be there in half an hour.â
âThanks. See you soon.â
I put Angelo to bed before Gina arrives. I donât want him to get wind of what Iâm about to do. I can only pray that Gina doesnât spill the beans to Dante. But, I have to trust in our friendship.
âHey, you. Whatâs happening? You look like a fly spinning in a spiderâs web,â Gina says as soon as she arrives.
I pour two glasses of wine and hand her one.
âOkay. Iâm going to tell you something now but first you have to swear to me that you wonât tell anyone. Especially Dante.â
âOâ¦kâ¦aâ¦yâ¦â she says pensively.
âAlso, donât talk too loudly. I donât want Paolo to hear us.â
âGeez, Mia, What the hell is going on?â
âIâm leaving LA.â
âWhat? Why?â
âI canât do this, Gina. I canât put Angelo in danger by moving to Italy with Dante. Heâs a Don for fuckâs sake. The man has a target on his back. Had I known this at the start I never would have taken this relationship any further. I mean, what the hell was I thinking?â
âMia, donât make any rash decisions. Think about this. You love Dante and I know he loves you. And, what about Angelo? He adores his daddy. What are you going to tell him?â
âI canât worry about that right now, Gina. All I can do is focus on the task at hand. One baby step at a time.â
âDamn, girl. This is big.â
âNo shit. Iâm a nervous wreck.â
âWhere are you going?â
âTexas. My uncle has a ranch there. He hardly ever uses it, so Angelo and I will have it all to ourselves.â
âTexas! Talk about a change of scenery.â
âJust a bit, yeah.â
âWhat will you do for money?â
âI have savings. Also Mom and Dad are helping me until I find a job.â
âM. I don't know about this. Are you sure this is a good idea?â
âNo, but itâs the only way I can get some peace and give my head a chance to clear.â
âClearing your head is the easy part. Itâs your heart thatâs the problem.â
âPlease donât tell him, Gina.â
âOf course I wonât, Mia. Youâre my best friend. I would never betray you like that. Just promise me youâll keep in touch so I know youâre okay.â
âI will.â
âWhen are you leaving?â
âIn three days.â
âWow, that soon?â
âWhy wait? I want to get this done.â
âDanteâs going to go apeshit if he canât get hold of you. You must know that, right?â
âYeah. I know.â
âWell, darling Mia, Iâm here for you. Please know that you can call on me at any time.
