It has been two weeks since our winter getaway and I am happy. Satoni has been taking me out to dinner and sending me flowers. He has taken me to a few places so that I could look at dance studios and I feel more like myself. I hate that I had to leave Seattle but it seems that things are looking up for me. Even though Satoni was a jerk at first, he finally started to understand me. We have been taking things slow and I love it. I have a month until my wedding and it still feels unreal. I haven't decided on anything for the wedding. I need to think of food, colors, the cake, but most of all my dress. I still couldn't believe that I was getting married but it was happening.

She frowned, "are you okay? Should I get you some water?"

I shook my head quickly, "no I'm fine. Thank you...but I was wondering. Could you call me Ms. Vintalli?"

She smiled weakly, "well, Mr. Romano advised us to address you as Mrs. Romano. I wouldn't want to disrespect him."

"I see, well that's fine." I was a little irritated that he would tell people to address me as Romano. We weren't married yet and I wanted to hang on to my name as long as possible. The doors opened and Kari ran in. She gasped loudly and walked around me in a circle slowly.
