He Gave My Seat to His Sweetheart, So I Went Home and Said My Name novel · Chapter 24 of 24
Chapter 24: The Open Gate
We said the vows under the chandelier, and the priest was crying more than I was.
I don't remember the words.
I remember Massimo's hand around mine, with the white scar across the back.
The heavy gold band he slid onto my finger beside my father's ring.
I remember the roar the forty men made when the priest said we could kiss.
I remember dancing with Aurelio and with the tailor, and cutting a cake the height of my arm.
Nobody once asking me to be small.
By midnight the last car had gone out the iron gate.
Massimo picked me up in the empty hall, with my train piled over his arm, and carried me up the stairs.
"Not the third floor," I said.
"No."
He took me into my father's study.
The lamp was lit.
Someone had banked the fire, and the leather chair stood behind the desk with its high back to the window.
He set me on my feet in front of it.
"Mrs. Corvino," he said.
