“So, what will you do next?”, Norah asked. “It will be weird to go on without her.”, I said. Norah squeezed my hand. “We’re here when you need us.”, she said. I smiled sadly; my mom was all the family I had. “Is it weird that I’m not crying?”, I asked. “No.”, Norah answered decisively. “You do what feels right for you and let no one tell you otherwise! I think you are already accepting that she is no longer with us. Mourning is a different process for all of us.” I nodded. She was right. Lily had a normal life, with a normal family, normal job and normal friends. Focused on her career, she made no time for boyfriends. Not that the right ones wanted her anyways... But after her mom's death she is stupified when she learns that she is now the proud owner of 2 houses in Europe and a million dollar trust fund. Turns out, her life is not so boring anymore, her mom never was boring, and the job brings her into more problems than she needed. And the men, they are now fighting for her heart. Will Lily find her happily ever after, or is she already in too deep?

In Too Deep: a mafia story

“Are you sure?”, Emma asked, while she wrapped another glass in paper before she placed it in a box. 


“Sure about what?”, I asked her. I was packing up my stuff, and Emma, Norah, Guilia, and Valeria were helping me. 


“Are you sure you want to take this with you?”, Guilia laughed as she moved into everyone’s view with my vibrator. I laughed loudly, but I felt my cheeks flush out of embarrassment. 


“I doubt she would need it.”, Valeria couldn’t stop laughing. 


“No, definitely pack it. She will need it if they are fighting.”, Norah grinned. Guilia nodded in agreement, and it disappeared in a box. 


“That too, but I was talking about moving in with Matteo. And giving up this apartment!”, Emma said, while she kept packing up. 


“I don’t know, are you ever completely sure about these things?”, I asked her. “I mean, Norah? Were you sure about getting pregnant?”
