After Dante's circus, Suki had difficulties to find back her sleep. Salvatore ended up talking with her at a low tone to make her fall asleep. He didn't remember doing something like that for his boys before, except maybe for Gabriel when he was very little, his birth mother not showing interest in him.
Thinking about the past reminded him of his late wife and how wonderful she had been with his eldest son. She raised him as her own and she was really the sunshine of the family. After she passed away, nothing was ever the same.
When Salvatore was sure that his daughter was sound asleep, he went downstairs. He was awakened since too long to go back to sleep. He prepared himself a cup of black coffee and sat at the kitchen counter with his phone to check the news of the night.
At 6.00am, he called the head of the night guards and asked him a detailed report about Dante's activities before he came back home in the middle of the night, completely wasted. The guard told all the information he had to his boss and left.
After that Dante fell asleep, Gianni wanted to put him in bed correctly, but Gabriel told him to let that drunkard as he was.
Gianni: What happened between the kitten and Dante?
Gabriel: A boy showed interest in Suki and Dante intervened, but after that, that jerk became disrespectful... I guess Dante feels guilty because it reminded him that he used the same type of words against our little sister when she integrated our family... and that now, she thinks the same way about herself ...
Gianni: The fu**! Did you punch that guy's face, I hope?!
Gabriel: Trust me, I had difficulties to retain myself. If he was not a kid, I would have killed him already!
Gianni: What if he tries something at school later?!
Gabriel: Even if he is an idiot, I don't think that he will take the risk to do something. And I know his brother will make sure of it too!
Gianni: Dad is going to kill Dante when he will wake up...
Gabriel: He deserves it... even if I can understand how he feels... let's go back to sleep, there is nothing more we can do for now.
The morning showed up quietly in the house. As often, Gabriel and Gianni went for an hour of jogging outside. Dante couldn't go with today as he was deeply asleep, still recovering of his hangover.
Davide and Enzo woke up pretty early for a weekend day and Enzo was surprised to not see his little sister, as she was an early bird.
Enzo: Dad, Suki already had her breakfast?
Salvatore: Suki is still sleeping; she needs more rest today.
Davide: She went on a club last night or what... (He laughed.)
Salvatore: Davide...
Davide: Are you sure that she is not just hiding herself because of what happened yesterday... it's more her style than sleeping that late, even on weekends!
Salvatore:Things change, Davide.
Salvatore didn't want to elaborate more, and the twins understood that their father was not in a mood for long and deep conversation this morning. They quickly find out why when Gianni came back.
After coming back from their jogging, Gabriel directly went to shower while Gianni preferred to eat something first. Salvatore had already left the room to make a call in his office and the twins were chilling in the living room. Gianni sat in one of the couch with a big sandwich in the hand.
