*Bianca*
My nerves rattled inside me as Leo stared intently into my eyes. The words were right on my tongue, but only silence filled the air. How was I supposed to tell him I was pregnant when I could barely believe the news myself?
“Bianca?” He spoke in a soft tone. “What’s going on?”
I nodded my head and took a deep breath. I just needed to get the words out. If I just said it, then we could figure this out together. I hoped.
“All right,” I breathed. “So –.”
Before I could get the words out, Leo’s cell phone began to ring from within the front pocket of his pants. Great.
“I’m sorry. Hold that thought,” he spoke quickly before pulling out his phone and answering it.
I tried to hide the annoyance that had begun to flare inside me. I didn’t want him to see it. Though I was grateful that he no longer felt the need to hide his mafia dealings, I still couldn’t help but wish he’d put me above his mafia life.
