"What are you doing?" She's in the kitchen, wearing a tight tank top with those flimsy shorts that drive me fucking crazy.

She looks up from the counter, her eyes meeting mine. "Nothing."

A moment later she stills, scrunching her nose and looking back at me confused. "That was a lie, I don't know why I lied"

I fill the remaining space in between us until I'm standing right in front of her, but I don't say anything. I wait for her to talk instead. 

"I'm baking" she says, her gaze not meeting mine.

She's stressed.

My hand reaches for her waist, pulling her towards me as my other hand tilts up her head. "What's going on?"

She answers immediately. "Amara."

It's been almost 4 months since she left and not once has Lily tried to contact her. She's scared she might mess something up, but at the same time she's terrified something will happen to her.

As much as he despises it, Valerio has been spending the last couple of months basically slaughtering the Spanish mafia every chance he gets. So that when they're no longer a threat to Amara, he'll bring her home.

I've explained it all to Lily, in small parts because I know it's a lot for her to take in. She's strong, so strong, but this would be difficult for anyone to hear about their best friend.

"Yes?" I ask her, even knowing what her questions is going to be.

"When?" She doesn't even say it as a sentence, one word says enough.

I let out a deep breath. "I don't know, Tesoro. Valerios working on it." I rub her cheek with my thumb, reassuring her in the best way I can.

It doesn't work. Instead she tenses up and speaks with irritation, but I can hear her pain peaking through. "Well- tell him to work harder or something, I don't know. It's almost been four month, Enzo!"

"I know. Soon okay? I promise. There's just a few more things that need to be taken care of."

Her gaze leaves mine, instead staring down at her hands placed against my chest. "Okay" she nods and my body relaxes slightly, giving into the warmth of her presence.

I lean down, placing a kiss on her head. "Okay." She melts into my body, her curves fitting perfectly against mine. "So what are you baking?"

She smiles against my chest, looking up and facing the oven.
"Cookies?" I ask her.

Her smile drops, and she looks at the oven in horror, then snaps her head towards me, looking at me the same way. "They're cupcakes."

My eyes widen, shift towards the oven, then look back at her. "Did you add baking powder?"
