She pushed herself up from the floor, still catching her breath as she rose onto her knees beside the couch. "This was really nice. You allowed Valentina do this to you?" she asked.
"At the time, it was embarrassing but I'd do anything…anything…Bambola even tolerate your monstrous sister. But let it be known now that going to Valentina will always be a last, final and desperate resort. It is what I will do when I am at the end of my rope with you."
"And who do I go to when I need to knock some sense into you?" Vee said. She crossed her arms, one brow raised. There was a spark in her eyes, playful, curious, and just a little too pleased with herself.
Luca huffed under his breath, leaning back into the sofa. "My mother. Now that I think about it, she is quite sneaky too. She and Val would get along quite well. Would you like to meet her?" Luca asked.
"Meet your mum? Uh…I…well…"
"Just say yes."
"yes." Vee said.
"Come closer."
