Will Amara ever be fixed again? Teaser: "Is that..." I couldn't even finish my question, I was beyond nervous as to what the results will say. Antonio nodded and lifted his gaze up to me, I could see the worry swimming around his irises. "Yes, it is bambina" He reached for my hand and I gladly gave it to him, he squeezed it and held it tight in his own and lowered his gaze once again to the envelope. "Are you going to open it, dad?" Sandro asked him. You could tell he was getting impatient, in fact, looking around the room, everyone seemed to be getting impatient. I looked back at the envelope and then at Antonio, and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze of my own. **FAST-PACED** **Re-writing this book**
