Matteo

The room went completely silent.

I looked at Giuliana, at the hope on her face, at the way she was still holding Elowen's hand like she was afraid Elowen would disappear.

I looked at Elowen, who had tears streaming down her face, her mouth open in shock.

I looked at Kian, who looked equally stunned.

"Giuliana," I started, my voice gentle. "Tesoro, you can't just..."

"Why not?" she asked, and there was something desperate in her voice now.

"Why can't Elowen be my mama? Just

  • OFF LIMIT: FOURTEEN NIGHTS WITH MY HUSBAND'S BEST FRIENDS    SHE HEARD MY THOUGHTS

    Chapter 221MatteoI made it all the way to the parking garage before I finally stopped.I stood between two cars like an idiot, keys gripped in my hand, unable to remember which vehicle was mine. My mind was a mess. I’d thought I was going to lose my daughter when I saw her seizing that day. Everything in me had frozen at that taunting sight, and even though it had been days, I still saw it every time I closed my eyes.And I’d left her. I knew I needed to rest, but I realized then that even if I headed home, I wouldn’t be able to sleep.So, I did the only thing my mind told me to. I turned around and headed back inside.The elevator took forever. I stood there staring at my disheveled reflection as I watched the numbers climb. Three. Four. Five. Elowen was right when she said I looked like shit, but going home felt wrong.I walked down the hallway toward Giuliana’s room, but as I reached for the handle, the door swung open.I froze.Kain had Elowen pressed against the wall, stari

  • OFF LIMIT: FOURTEEN NIGHTS WITH MY HUSBAND'S BEST FRIENDS    WHAT WAS HAPPENING

    Chapter 220ElowenThree days in the hospital turned into five. The anti-seizure medication made Giuliana drowsy. She slept through most of the first two days, waking only to vomit or mumble something incoherent before sliding back under.Marco came every afternoon after school. He'd do his homework at the foot of her bed, occasionally looking up to check if she was still breathing. Sometimes he'd talk to her even though she was asleep. About his day. About kids at school. About nothing.I lived in the chair by her bed. Matteo brought me food I didn't eat. Kian brought me coffee I drank too much of. On day four, Giuliana woke up lucid."Marco's here," she said. Her voice was scratchy.Marco's head shot up from his math textbook. "You're awake!""Unfortunately." She tried to sit up. Failed. "I feel like garbage.""You look like garbage," Marco said.I opened my mouth to scold him but Giuliana laughed, weak and wheezy but real."Thanks," she said. "You really know how to make a girl fe

    Chapter 219Elowen"I didn't answer him," I said."I know that too." Kian glanced at me. "But you were going to say yes. I could see it on your face.""I don't know what I was going to say," I admitted. "Everything is so complicated and...""It's not complicated," Kian said. "Not really. You love him. He loves you. Giuliana loves you both. The only complicated part is me.""You're my friend and I...""I'm your fake husband in the presence of Giuliana," he corrected. "And I think it's time we stop pretending otherwise. For all our sakes."I stared at him. "What are you saying?""I'm saying that when this is over, when Giuliana is stable and healthy and home, we need to end this charade. Properly. We need to tell Giuliana the truth... though I suspect she already knows... and we need to let you and Matteo be what you clearly want to be."Of course she knows, she's too smart not to know."And you?" I asked. "What do you want?"Kian was quiet for a long moment. "I want Giuliana to be happ

    Chapter 218ElowenTime fractured.One moment I was running, the next I was at Giuliana's bedside, the next Matteo was shouting into his phone for an ambulance, the next Kian was trying to turn her on her side to keep her airway clear.Everything was happening too fast and too slow at the same time."How long has she been seizing?" Matteo was asking Kian, but his voice sounded like it was coming from underwater."I don't know. I heard a noise from her room. I came in and she was already..."Giuliana's body jerked violently.A sound came from her throat that didn't sound human."No, no, no," I heard myself saying. "Please, no, not now. Not when she's doing better. Please."I reached for her hand but Kian caught my wrist."Don't," he said gently. "You can't. Just let her body do what it needs to do.""What it needs to do?" I nearly screamed. "It needs to stop! She needs to stop!"But she didn't stop.The seizure went on and on.Thirty seconds.A minute.More."Where's the fucking ambula

    Chapter 127Elowen "How do you know about that?" I asked carefully."I heard you leave," she said. "And then I heard Papa leave too, a few minutes later. And you were both gone for a long time."She was watching me with those too-knowing eyes."We just needed some air," I said. "And to talk about... about things.""What things?""Giuliana...""Did you kiss him?"The question hit me like a physical blow."What? No. I..." But I couldn't lie to her. Not when she was looking at me like that. "Why would you ask that?""Because you're both different now," Giuliana said. "Since that night. You look at each other differently. Papa smiles more when you're around. And you get all pink when he touches your hand."I stared at her, speechless."I'm eight, not blind," she said, sounding far too much like a teenager. "So did you kiss him or not?"I took a breath."Yes," I admitted quietly. "We did. But Giuliana, it was complicated. We were both upset and scared and...""Do you love him?" The questi

    Chapter 216ElowenFive days later, Giuliana was discharged from the hospital.Temporarily.She'd have to come back in three days for her next round of treatment, but Dr. Ferraro had given her permission to go home for a brief respite."Fresh air," he'd said. "Family time. Normal life, as much as possible. It's good for healing too."Watching Matteo carry his daughter out of the hospital—she was still too weak to walk far—while Kian pushed the empty wheelchair behind us and Marco carried the bag with Fuoco and all her drawings, I felt something shift inside me.Hope.Real, tangible hope.Not the desperate, clinging hope of the past few weeks, but something steadier. Stronger.The ride home was quiet but comfortable.Giuliana dozed against my shoulder in the back seat, exhausted from the simple act of getting dressed and leaving her room.When we pulled up to the house, she stirred and looked out the window."Home," she breathed, and I heard such longing in that single word.Matteo car

"Can't have you miss
