“I want you to have everything you want.”
“I want Rocco,” I say without thinking.
“Go get him.” She points at the corridor.
I do. I set off to find the man I can’t live without.
Chapter 60
Rocco
I step out of the shower and wrap a towel around my waist.
I took the time to shave before I got under the hot water. I needed it.
My morning was spent at Lennox Hill Emergency with Sophia and her husband, Nick.
He’s as good of a guy as his brother, Liam.
I was glad I was there to help when Sophia lost her balance at Palla’s.
She fainted briefly, so I got Palla to flag down a taxi and I took her to the hospital.
On the way there she told me that Dexie belongs with me.
I told her she was damn right.
After a visit with my Pop and April, I dropped in to see Marti.
She fed me, asked me if I had put a ring on Dexie’s finger yet and laughed when I told her to slow the hell down.
I’ve thought about it more in the past twenty-four hours than I care to admit.
Marriage has never been part of my plan, now it’s all I want.
It’s fast. It’s soon, but that pink-haired beauty owns my heart.
My only job now is convincing her of that.
I walk out into the living room as dusk cloaks the city. I fell into bed after I got home from seeing Marti. Sleep came easily although it only lasted a couple of hours.
My heart stops for a full beat when I gaze out the window toward Dexie’s apartment.
The blinds are up, the overhead lights are on and she’s sitting on the windowsill dressed in a pair of jeans and a pink T-shirt.
It’s exactly what she was wearing the first night she saw me.
I rest my forehead against my window. “Look at me, my love.”
Her head turns slowly in my direction, a smile blooming on her lips.
“I love you,” I say as loud as I can.
She looks down at her phone.
Mine chimes in the bedroom. I ignore it.
She raises hers in the air and waves it at me.
