A Marchetti marries for life, and if he isn't aware of that, well, then...
I shall make it clear to him, and then he can choose between a life of celibacy or sex.
With me.
Monogamously, of course.
The thought is instantly liberating, and the burden on my shoulders automatically disappears. I have no idea how I'll make that clear to my husband, but I can just pray about that.
So help me, God.
Please.
I don't let myself think of anything else after that and simply dress myself in a hurry. I don't want to give myself time to have second thoughts and lose my courage.
He's my husband.
And what I'm praying for isn't a bad thing.

"Oh!"
A gasp slips past my lips, and I stop dead in my tracks when I catch sight of my husband.

Is that Your sign, God?
Has he already changed his mind, and I no longer have to embarrass myself by asking about it?
Has he decided it's better to make me his wife for real?
I slowly lower my hands, and as my heart starts thumping against my chest, I hear myself whisper, "Is that what I think it is?"
Oh, please, please, please.
Please let it be so, God.
Please.
And my prayers are so beautifully answered when my husband slowly nods.
The Beast of New York wants me to be his wife for real.

LORENZO STARTED FEELING he had made the biggest mistake in his life when he saw Gazelle's face blossom like flowers unfurling into life under the summer sun, and shit, shit, shit.
What was it about this girl that kept making him act like a wordsmith wannabe?
He was once again tempted to toss the bouquet into the nearest wastebasket, but when his wife suddenly rushed towards him, and he saw the way her eyes were shining—-
