Luciano comes back into the room, and my eyes flutter his way. I don't really mean to bat my lashes the way I do, and I feel ridiculous as soon as it happens. But I think it's automatic at this point. I can't help it. Hopefully he doesn't notice.
How many times is this man going to be there when I need him before I just give in and allow myself to… do whatever is next to do without a fight? I'm already relieved now from just his presence alone. The trembling stops. The nerves stop. Everything inside of me seems to just… calm.
There is this intensity to him. I don't know if it's the pitch of his eyebrows or the press of his lips, but with that look of his, he's silently asking if I'm okay. Somehow I'm able to hear him. Or read him.
