"I will kill you!" Francesco shouted, his voice thunderous, the anger radiating off of him like heat from a fire.
Nia's stomach dropped at the sight of her cousin, his face flushed with rage.
She could hardly process the shock of seeing him suddenly and that too in such an angry state.
Without thinking much, she stepped forward, her voice a soft, calming plea, "Fran…"
Before Francesco could say anything more, Nia rushed to him, throwing her arms around his neck, holding on tight, "Brother.." she whispered and hugged him tightly as tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
She hadn't realised how badly she needed him until that moment. Zack's presence was a different comfort. But with her cousin, scratch that, her brother Francesco, being here it's like a void of family was filled like always and again it felt good to know that she was not alone in this world.
Francesco froze for a moment, his fury melting into concern.
