She nodded again looking down at the beautiful ring he had put on her finger.
He lifted her hand to his lips, kissing her finger right by her ring.
“Seeing you in only this was also my gift.”
She blushed, “You are incorrigible.”
He laughed, “I am. My mother says it all the time.”
He laced their fingers together and led her from the room, she loved the beautiful architecture of the home and how the rock could be seen in a lot of the house.
It was perfect.
He led her to a small room that his family was in and there was a gorgeous tree with copper and gold decorations in the branches.
She turned to look at him, “I love this. You didn’t show me this room.”
He smiled, “I had other plans.”
She swatted at his chest, “Vincenzo!”
He shrugged, “What? I did not hear you complaining. In fact, there was a lot of begging.”
She shook her head, “There was no begging.”
He smirked, “A little begging.”
She rolled her eyes, and they walked over to his siblings, and he leaned down to kiss his mother’s cheek.
Elena came up to her, “You look happy.”
Harper smiled, “I am. I never knew how much I needed to be with Vincenzo. He makes me complete.”
Elena grinned, “You are cute. He did not tell us anything about you.”
Vincenzo pulled her against his side, “I didn’t want to share her.”
Gio butted in, “He barely wanted me to know. But since I got the letters, I knew a lot about her. He had to share her with me.”
“Her letters are the only things I will share.”
Gio laughed, “I know how it is Vin. I have dealt with this for how many years now?”
Vin glared at him and Gio laughed harder.
Elena rolled her eyes, “Neanderthal,” and Vincenzo laughed, “I am that.”
“Sit. Tell us about yourself.”
Harper looked at Vincenzo who nodded, “Do itcara.”
Harper sat down with Vincenzo and told his family all about her and how she grew up, and everything that happened with her mom, the men she had over, and everything that happened to caused her to live with Jackie. She told them about Jackie and Joey, and their kids and how wonderful they were.
Vincenzo kissed her head, whispering, “I can’t believe I didn’t know about this.”
“I didn’t want to worry you.”
He shook his head, “Don’t do that again.”
