”You…” I started, “You want me to stay?”

She nodded, tears streaming down her face, “The truth is, I never wanted you to go. I was afraid that you’d hurt me, that you’d leave me again. But this… letting you go… it’s not helping me in any way. If anything, I’m summoning my worst nightmare.”

“I don’t want to go either.” I said, “When I saw you in Switzerland, I thought God was giving me another chance. I wanted to make things right, and somewhere along the way, I lost what it meant. I thought leaving you was the best thing that I could do for you… and… it wasn’t until a few minutes ago that I realized what an utter fool I was.”

“Me too.” She said, nodding, “I don't know why I thought this would help us. Clearly we can’t live without each other.”

A smile broke on my face. “I agree.”

“Then don’t go.” She said, reaching for my hand. Bringing it up, she planted a kiss on my hand, “Stay here with me. We’ll fix our relationship. We’ll work on it together. It will take time, bur I’d rathe

    I watched as Enzo stiffened, clearly taken aback by her sudden burst of emotions. Turning his head, he caught my glance, surprise evident on his face. We were clearly not expecting that. “That’s the best birthday gift ever!!!” Emmy squealed, hugging him tight. Enzo seemed to have snapped out of his trance as he slowly wrapped his arms around her. “Really?”“Yes.” She said, pulling away. “Now I get to call you dad! How cool is that?” Enzo smiled, “It is.” I said, “It’s great to finally call you my daughter, baby.”“This is so exciting!” She said, jumping on the floor in delight, “Can I please tell Ryan? He’ll be so shocked!” I chuckled. Going to facetime, I clicked on Mark’s number. “Sure, here you go.” As Emmy grabbed the phone and walked away, Enzo looked toward me, his face flushed, “That went much better than expected.”“Yes.” I said, “You choked.”He shook his head, “I couldn’t do it.” He said, “I couldn’t look her in the eyes and finally break the news to her. I was… I gues

    I stilled on the spot. What was she saying? Puzzled, I glanced toward Enzo, but he just kept walking toward the parking lot. Shaking my head, I followed them, “Your what?”“My father.” Emmy said, “Isn’t that right, Enzo?”“Yes, darling.” He said, reaching her car. “You’ll finally see your father tonight.”I watched as Enzo casually tossed our luggage into the boot and then got Emmy strapped into the back seat. When he was about to head to the driver’s seat but saw me still standing outside, he finally looked toward me. “What’s wrong?”“What’s happening?” I said, “Are you going to break the news to her?”He nodded, “Don’t you think we’ve waited too long?”“Yes.” I said, “But I don’t know how she’s going to react.”“She’ll be happy, of course.” He said, “She likes me.”“I’ve no doubt about that.” I said, “But all these years… I kept it from her. She’s a small girl, but she gets upset when someone lies to her. I just… I don’t know how to handle it.”“You leave that up to me.” He said,

    Cassie’s POV “How much longer mommy?” Emmy asked me for what seemed to be the hundredth time since we got on the plane. “Just a while longer, dear.” I said, my eyes still closed. “How much?”I sighed, peeling my eye mask away. “About an hour.” She groaned and fell back on her seat, facing the window. The beautiful hues of the sun painted the sky in the most magnificent way, and I wondered how Emmy was not excited to see that. All she cared about was landing in a foreign country and meeting her father. Well, she did not know that yet, of course. It had been over two months since we managed to stop Enzo from getting on to that plane, and since then, a lot has changed. Since Grandma was agreeing for treatment abroad, all we had left to do was to make arrangements to go there. I knew that I would have to relocate, but I had no idea where that left us. Sure, Enzo stayed back to be with me, but was he okay with changing countries? That was a conversation I dreaded having, mainly bec

    Enzo’s POV“Sir, can I please check your passport?” The woman on the other side of the counter flashed me her signature polite grin that she must have practised over the years. She held that smile for a while, a little too long, waiting for me to hand the passport over to her, but I didn't. Her smile began to falter then, a small knit forming between her brows. “Sir?” She tried again, “The passport, please.” Somehow, for the life of me, I could not take a step forward. I managed to drag myself out of Cassie’s embrace this morning, out of her bed and her damn house all the way to the airport. But I couldn’t get on that plane. I couldn’t take that final step that would take me away from her forever. “Excuse me, sir? You’re holding the line.” Someone muttered behind me, tapping my shoulder. “I’m sorry.” I said, stepping away. Throwing an apologetic glance toward the people around me, I took a step back, and another, until I was officially out of the line that took people into that

    “You had ten days.” Mark growled from behind the wheel. “Ten bloody days to make up your mind but you chose the last fucking minute that you want him back.”“Uncle Mark!” Emmy shrieked in horror from the back seat. “Language!”“It’s okay, Em. Your mother’s a grown woman.” He said, giving me a nasty side glance. “Although she doesn’t act like it all the time.”“Emmy.” I said, “Sit back and relax. We’re driving way too fast.”“Not fast enough.” She said, pouting, “Enzo’s flight would be leaving soon.”That was right. By the time we decided that we ought to get him back, Mark reminded us that Enzo must have flown away. But I was not ready to accept it. Something told me that we were not late. That there was still hope. That if we got to the airport in time, we could still meet him. “You’ll have better luck calling him, Cassie.” He said, “I’m already overspeeding. I can’t go faster than this.”“You think I haven’t tried that?” I said, groaning, as I looked at the ten missed calls to hi
