Luciana felt high, exhilaration surged through her, running through her veins. It had been a long time since she felt anything like this, this happiness and she reveled in the feeling. After so many years of emptiness, she had forgotten what being happy felt like and last night, she had been reminded of it. All it had taken was a kiss and all of the bitterness she had been drowning in for Alfredo had come to a complete halt. She had buried herself in his arms the rest of the night and for the first time, she had slept well and had only woken up to him gently shaking her awake.
She was so happy, she even had a smile to spare for Luca. She and Alfredo's son. It was as though she was seeing her son through a set of different lenses now and a part of her that had been shut towards him flickered slightly. It was going to take a lot of work but she was ready to put it. Now there was only one problem left, Benjamin.
