Italian Obsession

Chapter 96

Valentina

It was 3:30 when I woke up and noticed Danny sitting in bed, his face buried in his phone. "Hey."

He smiled and put his phone on the nightstand. "Hey. Do you feel better?"

"Slightly."

"Are you going to drink that much again?"

"I... No."

"Good. I don't want that to be an issue."

"It got too out of hand."

"I'm sorry." Danny whispered in my ear.

"For what?"

"For everything that I've done to you."

"I shouldn't have even given you another chance."

"You're right because I sure don't deserve another chance, but I am making it right this time. I failed at being a good father and husband, and I hate myself for it."

"As you should."

"How angry are they?"

"Extremely."

"I mentally broke you, Val. I made you afraid to fall in love again because of my dumb choices."

"You did."

"If I never made those choices, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"It would've happened sooner or later."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing."

"Babe, I love you and I promise it won't happen again."

"Micah is telling me how naive I am to give you another chance and I really agree with her. I feel incredibly stupid allowing this."

Danny scowled. "What are you talking about?"

"The divorce should have been final and permanent."

"Probably, but you are the one I want to be with."

"I just need to see that you will step up as a father and prove me wrong, Danny."

"Everything is going to chance, Val. I promise you that."

"I really hope so, because I feel like a total idiot giving you another chance."

"I will treat you like gold, baby and that won't ever change."

"I just need to know that you follow up with therapy a few days a week."

"I will go as long as you need me to."

"Do it for you Danny, not just me."

"You are a huge factor as to why I am doing this as well."

"You need to do it for yourself. Not me."

"I am, but I need to prove you wrong."

"I really hope so."

"My question is, when are we getting married again? I really don't want to wait."

"I don't know, Danny. With everything that has been going on, I don't have a clue. It may take a while."

"Well, as much as I would rather do it sooner than later, I will wait as long as you want."
