"I love you back," he told me, wrapping me up tight. "I was sure I wasn't going to make it out in that parking lot," he told me, surprising me. We hadn't done much talking about that night, at least not about the getting shot part. We discussed Celenia, the rest of her crew, Bishop Blake, the hospital afterward. But not about how we felt right before and right after getting shot. "And as I felt myself drifting off, I remember thinking that if I had to go, at least I got to have you as my last sight."
"Luca..."
"I love you, Romy. More than I ever thought I was capable. And I am going to spend the rest of my life showing you just how much."
My heart felt close to bursting.
My mouth opened to say something, only to be cut off by Adrian.
"Okay okay," Adrian called out the back door a few minutes later. "Dinner!" she told everyone. "Wait wait, Luca and his girl first," she insisted, holding the door open for us. "We have a real treat from Romy tonight," she told everyone as they filed into the massive dining room with a sideboard that ran along the whole room for the sole purpose of laying out the impressive amounts of food served at a family dinner. "Make sure everyone gets some."
"Might have missed it," Lucky said, moving between Luca and me, "but that was my ma's stamp of approval," he told me, making my heart swell.
Luca kissed my temple. "Welcome to the family, Romy."
