Chapter 7

"Hello?" I hear Dom's deep timber answer on the third ring.

"Hey, Dom, it's Marra."

"Hey, Marra. What's up?"

"I'm just letting you guys know that I'm going to stay over here at Frankie and Will's for the night so you don't wonder when I'm going to be back at your place." I hope they aren't mad that I'm staying here tonight.

"Okay, that's cool. See you guys in the morning at the church." I choke at his words. "Don't forget, we need to be at the church by ten, so that way everything is ready for when the service starts at eleven, okay?"

"No worries, Dom, we'll see you at ten at the church." I pause before hanging up the phone; "Hey, Dom?"

"Yeah, baby?" His timber voice is so comforting.

"I love you guys, okay?"

I can hear him breathe on the other end as if he's trying not to cry. I've never told anyone, not even my mother or my brothers that I've loved them, only Frankie and Will. "We love you, too, baby." Now he's definitely choking back tears. "Sleep tight."
