"Gold jewelry shining so bright. Strawberry champagne on ice Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like..." I hummed to the music coming out of the yoga studio's stereo. I was accompanied by the women of my family and friends, my mother, Aunt Lily and Aria, my cousins ​​Sara, Marcella and Inessa, Growl's wife Cara, Giullia and their daughter Simona, as well as my friends Sienna and Greta.

Mornings in New York looked like one of the most beautiful ones, summer used to be my favorite, it meant I could spend my days reading without worry.

Besides, every summer my family gathered at our home in the Hamptons, where my cousins ​​and I spent our afternoons swimming, Valerio loved jetskiing and surfing, Flavio and I always followed him, and the others were our judges in the small competitions.

At lunch Uncle Luca made delicious hamburgers and roasted meats and then at night Romero lit the fire and we could dispute who had the worst or the best stories.
Since worst Dad always won, he really sucks, whereas Amo's always ended in something bloody.

Remembering that made me look forward to this summer, I felt this one would beunforgettable.

"Okay ladies, you did great" Mom gave the thumbs up ending our workout for the day. "for old asses you're in good shape.
The older ones laughed at his comment.
"See you next Tuesday, don't forget our diet goal!"

     I crinkled at the memory of the week of green smoothies and salads ahead, thankfully Dad always sneaked me something greasy. I love supporting my mother, she is the person I admire the most, but in her fitness craziness I prefer not to follow.

      I wore my lime green all-stars that I recently got from my dad, I loved collecting them, Valerio accuses me of being a hoarder and that this is an addiction, but they are so beautiful, and with each different model and style I find myself more in love, beyond comfort and goes with everything.

  "I'm so excited for summer!" Sienna mused beside me as she pulled on her sneakers. "Dad said he was going to let me sign up for judo, I'm so excited" She smiled and tied her hair in a ponytail, the same one that was now white in color, Sienna loved having several hair styles.

        Which caused a bad repercussion among people in our midst, she and her family were still not well accepted by half of the upper echelon, especially her mother for being of Asian descent, and Sienna inherited the traits. Maybe that's something that made us bond, we both have issues with acceptance among mob people.

"Me too" I replied " mainly because I won't need to work so hard in my studies, a little rest with lots of music, books and of course the days in the Hamptons with lots of fun."

      "You talk like it takes a lot of effort to be a nerd." She rolled her eyes.

      "Still, I have a heavy study schedule," I remarked as I smiled at their grimaces at me.

       Greta, who had previously been chatting with Marcella and Aunt Aria, joined us with a smile. She had on her feet her pink ballet slippers that she wore for absolutely everything, I hardly ever saw her without.

          Greta was the wife of my cousin Amo, daughter of Remo Falcone the capo from Vegas, she easily adapted to her new life in New York, in addition to having the respect of people, she was a good person and had become a great friend.

          I was able to open up to few people, with time and some things I experienced, I became more reserved and oblivious to the things around me and few could enter my world besides my cousins ​​Flavio and Valerio.
        After their initiation into the famiglia, it became increasingly difficult to be with them all the time. Yunna and Greta had taken the place of my companions. But my cousins ​​would always be my best friends.
