Luca helped her out of the car later that afternoon. His hand steady at her lower back as they made their way up the front steps. He could see she was still tired and clearly still in pain. The doctor had told them Sutton could be in pain for at least another month–not only from giving birth to Miles but also from her fall.

When they got inside, Sutton went straight to the room they were going to use for Miles when he got home. He watched her turn on the light and stand in the middle of the room looking around.

He could feel her pain from here. Every day she left the hospital without Miles was heartbreaking for her and him. More so because her pain was there for all to see.

“We’ll bring him home soon,” Luca said beside her, putting his arm around her waist. “We’re so close.”

Sutton nodded and leaned into him for a second before she turned away and headed toward the kitchen. She needed water. Maybe a sandwich. But she wouldn’t cry.

She was halfway through filling a glass when she caught his reflection in the kitchen window… she could sense something, the way she had since he had come to the hospital… His shoulders were stiff, jaw tight, and he wasn’t talking much.

“Okay,” she said finally, turning around, glass still in hand. “Spit it out.”

Luca looked up.

“You’ve been itching to say something since we left the hospital. What is it?”

He exhaled through his nose and crossed the room. “Nicole’s gone.”

Sutton blinked. “Gone? As in what, exactly?”

“As in on a plane to Rome. There isn’t a return ticket.”

“What?” She stared at him. “You let her go?”

“She’s gone, Sutton.”

“That’s not what I asked.”
