Suddenly, Emilio rushes into the lounge, and it draws my attention back to work.
Chapter 25
Gabriella
With my lips parted, I watch as bag after bag of clothes is carried into the foyer.
Holy crap.
“Did we really order so much?” I ask.
“I added a couple of items I thought you might like,” Mrs. Accardi says.
Caro Dio.
“Should I take the clothes to your suite, Miss di Bella?” Martha asks. “Or do you want me to wash them first?”
“They’ve already been dry cleaned,” Savannah, Mrs. Accardi’s personal shopper, informs us. “My team can pack the clothes in your closet. Just show them the way.”
Martha leads the team up the stairs, and all I can do is shake my head.
“Damiano is going to lose his shit when he sees how many clothes I got,” I whisper under my breath.
“No, he won’t,” Aunt Aida says. “As his fiancée, you always have to look your best.”
Still.
My thoughts turn to Damiano, who hasn’t been home in over a week.
“I’ll be right back,” I say before I head up the stairs.
Walking into my bedroom, I hear the staff work in the closet. I grab my phone and quickly leave so I don’t interrupt them.
I head to Damiano’s suite, and when I shut the door behind me, I type out a text.
Thank you for the clothes. I hope you’re getting some rest.
I hesitate before I press send.
I watch as it shows he’s read the text, then realizing he might not have my number, I quickly send another message.
It’s Gabriella.
He reads it, but it shows he goes offline again.
I worry my bottom lip before I decide to send a final text.
Keep safe.
He comes online, and when it shows he’s typing, the corners of my mouth lift.
When the message appears on my phone, my smile grows.
Dress warm.
My fingers fly over the keypad.
I will. I miss you.
