Chapter 45

He walked over to Gray and sat him down on the bed. “We have to talk.”

“Did I do something to upset you?”

“Yes and no…it’s the money thing. I know you don’t want it but I can’t give it all away. Too many people depend on me to make their living.”

“Oh, Enzo, you don’t have to give it away or even pretend you don’t have it. I’m not used to all of this.” Gray waved his arm around the room. “Give me a chance to process it.”

“If you can’t accept my money, you can’t accept me.” Enzo’s voice broke.

“I didn’t know there was so much of it. I love you. I accept everything you are, money included. I’m not used to it, that’s all.”

“I want to spoil you. I want you and Genevieve to have all the things you had to give up because of the cancer but I don’t want to lose you over something as stupid as money.” Enzo pinched the bridge of his nose and wiped away a tear.
