He smiled. "Yeah. We should be. He's going to be late like always, though."

"Oh, as exciting as ever," he said with a sigh, gesturing to the table. "Please, sit yourself down and help yourself to something to eat." The man chuckled. "It isn't that tasty since you've taken the cook from me, but I manage." "I'm sure it's wonderful," Carolynn cooed, taking a seat.

The man opened the door. "Daddy!!" She squealed, stepping forward and throwing her arms around his neck. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. "Hello, Princess." He kissed her head and ushered her inside. "Hello, Antonio. What the hell happened to your leg?" He chuckled warmly, placing a...

She laughed. "You're such a nervous nelly!!!" She held his arm. "Don't worry. I'll handle this, dear."

"Don't worry, love... it will all be okay."

"Take a nap," she said, smiling. "I'm exhausted."

She laughed. "Yeah." She plopped down beside him and snuggled close.

She nodded and left. "Some people are so blind.... it burns me up!!"

"I don't think I want a ring anymore, darling. Not today." She squeezed his hand.

She looked up at him. "Someone, sir, who has laid down his life for me. Someone, sir, who has hurt me much less than those with our complexion. someONE, SIR, who brought me out for a new engagement ring and gifts for my family just because he felt like it and who wants to provide me with every...

She looked over at him, then back at Alex, sighing softly and looking over the rings. "I don't know who stole from you, but I don't like the attitude. If you don't want our money, just say so. This store just means a lot to me." She looked up at him, giving him a smile. "My father bought my...

She paused, gripping Alex's hand. "We were going to buy a new ring," she looked over at Alex. "But we can leave if our business isn't wanted."

"What about a nice bottle of your liquor?" She suggested.

"Sounds like a grand idea." She smiled at him. "If you don't mind, would you keep it with you so I don't end up wearing it to dinner with daddy before you ask him?"

"Let them keep it of course. Like you said, they're family, and from what I've seen," she looked over at Anton. "You and your staff are loyal and speak your minds. I like that. That merits the occasional favor, don't you think, sweetheart?" She wrapped her arms around Alex's free one. "Look at...

"It's been a pleasure speaking with you, sir." She walked back, looking over at Alex. "Sorry to interrupt the conversation darlings, but I've gotten what I need."

She frowned. "Well, pardon my French, but that's a bunch of chickenshit if you ask me. We're tougher than an armadillo's back. And we just got out of a tussle with another gang. We're not scared to fight."

She nodded. "That would be very nice of you, thank you." She looked about. "How long do you think they are going to be?"

"Definitely not the latter, then. We need him relaxed for the news we're going to give him." She laughed her heavenly laugh. "The Perfefto, please."
