I love you

Sofia's POV

I swear to God, my heart is racing like I ran a marathon. I didn't know this would be so difficult, I wouldn't have brought the idea. Maybe a drink and the cutting of the cake would do, I don't know why I brought the idea of adding an appreciation note to it.

“Come on Sofia. Don't be scared, Daddy would love it” Enzo said to me, cheering me up.

I swallowed before breathing in and out,

“Don Salvatore Luca…” I looked at him and quickly regretted it because everything I had rehearsed flew from my head the moment my eyes met his.

“Sofia” Enzo called and I blinked multiple times

“Huhhhhh, yes. Don Salvatore, I want to thank you…” Oh shit, I can't do this looking at him.

Should I stare at his shoes? His forehead, maybe. I decided to look at my fingers instead.

“Since that day at the parking slot, you've been my hero and savior. Thank you for saving me and letting me stay, even if that was against your principles. I… I… know I'm not a family, but I feel like with you and Enzo
