“You can look now.”

At first, I don’t know what I’m supposed to be seeing. A red SUV with tinted windows sits before us.

“Is the surprise in the car?” I glance over at him.

“Kinda both,” he laughs. “The caristhe surprise.”

“What!” My widened gaze bounces between the cherry-red vehicle and his adoring eyes.

“It’s yours, baby girl. It’s armored too, so you and Fia will be safer.”

“What does that mean?”

“Means it’s bulletproof.”

“Oh.” My heart gives a little thump.

That’s right. Married into the Mob. Got that loud and clear.

“So, do you like it?”

“I love it!” Fia says before I can get a word in, and he curls one arm around her, embracing her tightly.

I huff out an overwhelmed sigh. “It’s amazing. I’ve never had a car remotely this beautiful.”

“Wanna test drive it?”

I tug on my bottom lip. “Absolutely.”

“Come on, then.” He grabs my hand, and we make it down the cobblestone steps together.

“But what about Fia?”

“She’s coming with us. I already had a car seat installed inside.”

“Yay!” she exclaims while I stare at him with disbelief, unable to stand another second without kissing him.

Throwing my arms around him, I align my gaze with his as I lift up on my feet.

“Thank you,” I whisper, my warm breaths mingling with his as I kiss him slowly, enjoying his responding growl.

“You haven’t even seen the second surprise.”

“There’s more?” I say in wonderment.

“Of course there is, baby.”

He pushes back, leading me toward the car. The door’s already opened, a large yellow envelope lying on the driver’s side with keys on top.

“What’s that?” My heartbeats echo in my rib cage.

Pushing the keys to the side, he picks up the envelope. “Open it.”

Nervous fluttering erupts in my gut, and I start to wonder what it could be. Sucking in a long, deep inhale, I take it from him, pulling open the flap and reaching inside, then dragging a stack of papers out.

When I notice the logo at the top, my mouth pops open. “Fionn? Wha-what’s this?”

My eyes scan the letter, a cry catching in my throat.
