Italy; once again.
Funeral, once again.
Only this time the tears came from the heart. Angelo had been silent and so had been Gabrielle. The children did not even understand what happened. For them, she was just gone. Disappeared forever.
It was too sudden. They flew back with the body, everyone together, Silvano broke down and cried hugging his brother's shoulder and Nikita did too.
The casket was open and she looked so peaceful. The smile and the warmth shine in her eyes were gone. They weren't even open now. She was pale.
Alexis hated it. A sob broke out of her as she covered her mouth. It hurt too much to be true. It looked like she was truly sleeping. . .Just an everlasting one.
The priest came forward as the time had come. It was the time to lower the casket down in its grave.
Angelo nodded. The sons, husband, brothers of Isabelle picked it up. All with the grimmest expression she had ever seen.
