The car sways from left to right on the cobblestones. His hand caresses her thigh as her eye concentrates on the sun setting in the distance. Then she remembers, "Michael was there. He wanted to talk in private about business." The latter word caught Tommy's attention. "Business?" He repeats. "Yes, He said that he was ready. I mean the kid is almost 19. It's normal for him to want to be taken seriously." Gia explains.


Tommy focuses back on the road. "No chance." He voices sure of his words. Gia looks over at him and suggests, "He's going to be the future of the Shelby company limited. It might be a good idea to show him the way a bit especially if he asks for it." He groans at her choice of words, "I don't like that word." She turns her head to look at his side profile and asks, "What word?" He mumbles, "Limited."


Gia challenges, "I mean Finn is younger than him and does twice as much." He informs, "It's not me who doesn't want him in the business, it's Polly. And I can't say that I blame her." The house stands tall next to the car. He stops the car and slowly opens the door. Gia observes Tommy walking around the car.


She goes to open the door, but it closes with a loud sound. This made her look up at his blue eyes. He opens the door with a smirk and puts his hand out for her to take. Her red lips form into a slight smile as she takes his offer. He tuts, "As long as I'm here I'll be the one to open doors for you." They walk hand in hand towards the door.


The door opens after three loud knocks from Tommy. In the doorway appears a distressed Alfie with a kitchen towel on his shoulder. "Fucking 'ell mate, is this really a time for fucking? Or are you always this late?" Tommy sighs, "Good evening Alfie." Alfie walks back into the house while voicing, "Don't sigh that fucking hard. My house ain't as big as yours it'll fly away."


Tommy closes the door behind Gia and follows her. Alfie turns a corner to reveal a big table in a warm dining room. Gia's eyes trail to the brunette woman waiting at the end of the table. She remembers her to be a gentle but confident woman. She hasn't fallen on her mouth, and that's probably what got Alfie to fall in love with her.


He places his hand on Tommy's shoulder "Tommy, this is my wife Eva." He faces his wife and introduces, "Darlin', this is Tommy or the cunt who thought I shot his wife." The woman gives her husband a side-eye before standing up and greeting the guests. She shakes hands with Tommy and turns around to hug Gia.


The women met back in college. It is a weird sight to see women in college, so they pulled through the journey together. Not to forget Donna, of course. Donna didn't do anything with her degree, but Eva did. The woman was a descendant from a rather poor Jewish family.


Her dream was to become a doctor, so that's what she became. She is an example for young girls when she walks through the bad sides of London or the place she once called home. She gives her medical assistance to people in need of it in the evenings and on Sundays. During the day, she works as the only female surgeon in London's big hospital.


Gia might not admit it, but she looks up to Eva. She always did and probably always will. The woman didn't give up on her dreams for anyone's sake. Gia studied a primary class because she had to. The curriculum consisted of English, foreign languages, mathematics, Latin, science and history. She also took an evening class for music. She dreamed about being a big pianist one day.
