Usurped by the Tutor
In the end, I didn't move.
Luca had picked up on my internal struggle and hesitation. Instead of getting mad, he pulled me into his arms.
"Are you feeling ill?"
I shook my head and replied, "I had a nightmare."
As though something had suddenly popped into his mind, Luca's arms tightened around me, looking extremely anxious. "Believe me, Elena. To each other, Celia and I are nothing more than a parent and a personal tutor. Please don't misunderstand us."
Parent and tutor? To him, was it appropriate for a tutor and her student's parent to get down and dirty in the wine cellar?
