Luca Di Giannantonio's POV

Three days flew by in the quarry and I was the first to wake up on our departure day. Gianni was still sleeping next to me with one leg over mine so I couldn't get up so I took my phone and started scrolling through social media. But Gianni didn't look like she was planning on getting up any time soon, so I tried to carefully take her leg down from mine. I finally managed to do that and I could leave the tent in peace, even before I did, I covered Gianni with my blanket to keep her warm.

I climbed out of the tent, took off my shirt and went for a swim, probably the last time in the clear lake.  The three days I spent here with my older sister helped me in an incredible way and I realized how incredibly lucky I am that she is in my life and that she is the one who raised me. I am proud to be her brother. Everything that happened here always ended with laughter, we had so much fun that I will always remember it very fondly. I laid on my back in the water and rested. Then Gianni yelled at me.

"Good morning" I lowered myself so that I could see Gianni, Gianni had already begun to slowly pack

"Good morning, do you want to help?"  I yelled at her across the lake

"No, it's good, I've got it for a while" she smiled at me and started carrying things from the tent to the car

I slowly began to swim to the shore, after a while I was under the surface with my whole body and again surfaced for air. I swam to shore and Gianni already had everything packed.

"When you dry off a bit, we can go back home" she smiled and ruffled my already messy hair

"Of course, I could be ready in 20 minutes" Gianni nodded at me with a smile and went to the car

She leaned against the car and took the phone in her hand, when she started smiling into it almost immediately, it was clear to me that the person writing her was Augusto. I changed into dry clothes and, as I told G, in twenty minutes we were leaving the quarry back home.

The journey seemed much shorter than the journey here. Gianni was driving the way back and I was just looking at the flickering trees outside the window. We arrived in front of our house and started carrying things inside from the car. Almost as soon as I got to the house, I found myself in my brother's arms.

"Hi, so how have you been?" Fabio let go of me and hugged Gianni, who was on my heels

"It was great, next time you have to go there with us" I patted him on the chest

"Next time we'll all go" he smiled and took Gianni's bag and carried it upstairs to her room

After unpacking all the things, we all settled in the living room on the couch, Fabio and Gianni discussed their next circuit and I listened to them talk about it.

"I think turn 8 will be a problem for us, it's terribly vertical and it will be hard to stay in it" said Gianni and Fabio looked at her

"We have to adapt the bike to this corner as best we can, otherwise it could mean a highside for us" Gianni nodded to him

We all chatted there for a few hours before we all slowly started packing, because the day after tomorrow we are already flying to another destination for another race. I finished packing at about 11 in the evening, so I just went to take a shower and go downstairs to say good night to the two of them.

"I'm going to bed now, so good night" I kissed Gianni on the cheek and fist bumped with Fabio

"Good night" they both said to me at the same time and I went upstairs to the room where I plunged into my dreamland

Fabio Di Giannantonio's POV

When both Luca and Gianni left and I was sure they were both asleep, I texted my girlfriend Marina because we were planning a surprise for Gianni. I knew very well how important Marina was to Gianni and I also knew how much he missed her because she hadn't seen her in a little over 6 months. Everyone knew that Marina was one of the most important people in Gianni's life. Gianni only has a small circle of friends and family. She has me, Luca, Augusto, Marc, Fermín, Michael and Marina, Marina is her angel, she always supported her in everything and never let her fall to the bottom. She never let Gianni cry and few people did that for Gianni.  Marina saved her just as Gianni saved Marina. The two were meant to meet, the two are their destiny. Gianni would give her the world, in fact she already gave it to her, because Marina is happy with her and loves her with all her heart. I could never have wished for anything more than for my girlfriend and my twin to have the incredibly strong, beautiful and unbreakable bond and friendship that they have.  I am so happy for them and will be even happier when I see them together again because they will both have their genuine smiles on their faces.
