Gavino and I were on our way to the big house

Gavino and I were on our way to the big house. We were going to eat dinner with our parents and siblings and then we were hanging out with everyone.

Gavino pulled up on our driveway and stopped but neither of us got out. We had been spending most of the week at our house, just the two of us and Luna. 

He had been so sweet to me and I felt so happy all the time. He lightly traced patterns on my thigh and sighed. "We don't have to go in, we can go back home." His words made me smile.

Home. Our house really felt like home now. I was so comfortable everywhere and spent a lot of the time in the library. "No, it's fine. We've been alone for the whole week," I told him and he took of his seatbelt.

He got out of the car as I took of my seatbelt and then I felt the door opening beside me by how the cold air immediately hit my skin. Gavino grabbed my hand and helped me out of the car.

We walked up to the house in silence, just holding each other's hands and I thought back to how we got here.

Gavino and I had been through so much together but now we were married and in a great place. I knew that our journey was far from done and there would probably be a lot of hard times on the way.

But Gavino and I were going to get through it. He was my person and I loved him so much.

As we opened the doors to the house he squeezed my hand lightly in a comforting way before my mother came up to us and hugged me. She hugged Gavino too and dragged us to the kitchen.

"Siéntate donde quieras, Samuel llegará pronto," my mother spoke quickly before leaving to fetch my father.

Translation: Sit wherever you want, Samuel will be here soon.

I smiled up at Gavino who pressed a small kiss on my cheek before his parents entered the dining room. Gavino's mother Beatrice squealed and hugged me. "Mi sei mancato," she whispered and let go of the hug.

Translation: I've missed you.

"Mamma, eravamo qui solo pochi giorni fa," Gavino said and she hugged him too.

Translation: Mother, we were here just a few days ago.

I smiled and everyone sat down around the table. Laia and Viviana started to discuss some new makeup that Rare Beauty had just released while Samuel and Enrico talked about football. Both of our mothers were speaking in their own language to each other but they still understood each other.

Our fathers were just quietly eating while I was sitting quietly next to Gavino. He had a hand resting on my thigh while he was eating.

"How's married life?" Gavino's father Donato asked and I smiled. I hadn't really talked much with Donato. He was a reserved man and spent much time alone or with his wife.
