Romance In The Tuscan Hills: A New Beginning
Page 4
“I have a lot of responsibilities waiting for me back in New York.”
“You did not say home.”
Dani pulled back to be able to look Carlo in the face. His eyes were bright and he was trying desperately not to laugh. “Why does that matter? New York is New York.”
“Yes, but it is not home. If it was, you would have said 'back home.'”
Dani bit down on her lower lip. He had a point. Could it be as simple as that? Could picking a place based on how she felt about it really be the solution to her problems?
“Now try Florence,” Carlo said. “Don't over-think – just speak from the heart.”
Dani closed her eyes. She remembered everything wonderful about her two weeks here – the beauty of the city and countryside, the hospitality of her neighbors like Alberto and Carlo. Beyond anything else, Carlo was her happiest memory of the last two weeks. Together, they had laughed and shared a comfortable camaraderie that she had never felt or, honestly, wanted to feel with anyone before. He was the missing puzzle piece in her life and – now that she found him – she never wanted to let him go.
“Home,” Dani said. “Florence is home.” She opened her eyes. “You are home.”
Carlo grinned. “That's what I thought.”
He leaned down to kiss her. Dani wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed against him. Mom and Nonna always said when you kissed 'The One' you knew. Without a doubt, you knew. In that instant, Dani knew. Everything in her life had been leading up to this point and this man. She was home. She was finally home.
