Chapter 102

• Luciano wanted to run to her and hug her. He missed her so much and seeing her here right now made him want to pull her into a tight hug and tell her just how much he loved her and how much he wanted her to stay with him but he knew that wasn’t going to happen. He knew that once she found out about him. the real him. she would run away.
• The past two weeks have been hell for him. He spent most of the time in the fields and also with the kids when they weren’t in school. The rest of the time, he was alone and thinking about her. what she could be doing and how she was feeling. He read the text messages she sent him more times than he could count. Stared at the pictures of her that he had on his phone.
• He tried to get as much information from Lydia as he possibly could and none of that was enough for him. He missed her so much. Missed her touch, her laughter. Her soft snores when she sleeps. The way she wakes him up in the middle of the night to make love to her. the way she throws herself at him anytime he comes back to the house after leaving for a short while. Everything. And now she was here but still, he couldn’t do what he wanted. Couldn’t run to her and hug her.
