have it shipped from Italy.”
    “What was the final bill?” he asks.
    “I’m not telling you how much your gift cost. How tacky would that be?” I say, teasing.
    “I will find out eventually. I see every penny spent.”
    “I’m sure you’ll be less shocked by it than I was. The total was about two ten.”
    “That must have been challenging for you to spend that much on a gift.” He laughs.
    “Well, yes but nothing less than the best for my prince. I can just hear Cassie shrieking now if I told her I spent over two hundred thousand dollars for a car. She would die!”
    “Are you going to tell her?”
    I shake my head. “I don’t think so. She’s a smart girl. She’ll figure out that it’s expensive. Or she’ll look it up on the internet.”
    Enzo laughs as we dress in better clothes, then head out for a morning drive. Once we get out on some open roads, Enzo hits the gas and tears off, making me feel like we are in a rocket. I hope there aren’t any cops out or we are for sure getting a ticket. Enzo’s expression is pure delight as he drives. It warms my heart to see him so happy. I reach over and stroke his hand just as he pulls into the parking lot of one of our favorite coffee shops.
    “As soon as we get approval, I’m making love to you in this car,” Enzo says.
    “Mmm, sounds sexy.”
    “Sexy car, sexy wife.”
    “Sexy ass life.”
    Enzo raises his eyebrows at me then laughs, before kissing me softly on the lips. “Yes, we do have a sexy life, don’t we?”
    “I think so.”
    “Andiamo. We’ll have coffee then we’ll get you to your appointment later. How does that sound?”
    “Wonderful.”
    We chat happily over coffee and pastries and I’m suddenly very content. The last six weeks were awful and there were days I thought I would never recover. But now I sit here with my handsome husband, full of joy, almost as though nothing ever happened.
    “We should get you home soon, no? Your appointment is at ten.”
    “I know.”
    Enzo leans across the small table and rubs my arm. “This is a happy day, bella.”
    “Of course it is. It’s your birthday.”
    “It’s also the day we start over. By this afternoon, I’ll be ravishing you again. I cannot wait to get my hands on you.”
    “I look forward to that as well, my sweet prince.”
     

 

     
     
    “I’M NERVOUS, ENZO. What if I didn’t heal right or something is wrong with me still?” I sit anxiously in my cloth gown in the exam room of Dr. Warner’s office.
    “I understand your worry, bella, but I’m sure you are fine. This is just necessary, no?” Enzo rubs my back, calming my nerves a bit.
    We hear a small knock on the door as Dr. Warner enters the room. “Good morning, you two. How are we doing today?”
    “Fine, I suppose. I’m nervous,” I answer.
    “Nothing to be nervous about. It’s just a standard pelvic exam to make sure everything healed nicely and to give you the green light to try again.” She smiles and it always causes mine in return.
    I lean back on the table and hold my breath as the exam begins. Enzo stays with me this time and holds my hand, kissing my forehead periodically.
    After a few moments, Dr. Warner stands and smiles at me again, patting my foot. “Everything looks nice and healthy, Ava. Your cervix is normal size and I didn’t see any significant scar tissue.” She looks down at her chart. “Your blood test results were normal and all indications are positive.”
    “So, she can get pregnant again?” Enzo asks.
    “I see no reason why she can’t,” the doctor responds.
    “What can I do to make sure I don’t get sick again, doctor?” I ask.
    “The normal things. Avoid other people that are sick, wash your hands frequently, eat healthy to keep your immune system strong.” She takes my hand in hers. “Sometimes, there is nothing you can do and you can’t blame yourself for that. How are you doing emotionally?”
    “Pretty good. I mean, I get sad sometimes if I stop and think
