CALM BEFORE THE STORM

VICTORIA SAW LORENZO IN THE EVENING, when his exhausted figure walked through the front door. She was sure he did not get any sleep because of the dark circles under his eyes. So, Victoria warmed him the dinner Rosa made and sat with him while he ate and told her about the mishap with the new shipment. She could not lie that it was good to have Lorenzo sleeping in bed again. It felt...good and peaceful. 'God, you sound like you're addicted to him' Victoria scolded herself in her mind before she closed her eyes, Enzo already asleep on his side of the bed.
It took them a week to get used to the new role Lorenzo had and his new work schedule. It was more chaotic than when he was only taking care of his club and a few other businesses, but they got used to it. Victoria learned how to ignore the ringing phone in the middle of the night because some people needed their boss at night and Enzo made his own system for answering it —he would answer the call immediately as it started ringing and would start talking only when he left the bedroom. He even had spare clothes in his home office, so he could get ready without disturbing Victoria.
" You're home, " was the first thing Victoria told Lorenzo when she came downstairs and saw him sitting in the kitchen, sipping his coffee and eating breakfast made by Rosa. She sounded surprised, because it was Friday and ten in the morning. Usually, Enzo was at work by this time.
" Well, good morning to you too, " he said, turning his head to look at her, but soon a teasing smile appeared on his face. Victoria knew this smile way too well. " Oh, it's so nice to see you home, honey. I've missed you, honey, " he tried so hard not to laugh, but when he said the last word, Enzo laughed loudly.
It was not a hateful tease. No, no. It was more like a friendly and funny teasing and Victoria tried not to smile, but the corners of her lips lifted up. They still had their moments when they would argue, but it started to happen more and more less. It was nice to joke around with him like this, it made her feel that both of them were going in the right direction.
" Do you have any plans today? " Enzo asked when Victoria finished her breakfast and coffee. She stood up, so she could take the dishes to the dishwasher.
" No. Why do you ask? "
" Do you want to go somewhere? " he replied to her with another question. She put her hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow. Expect from the events, they have never been somewhere together. " I... I need to go out and not think about work. Eddie is taking care of everything today and I told him to call me if it's a serious emergency and he can't take care of it. So, do you want to go to the city or somewhere? "
