I Bought His Love, Then He Became the Don novel · Chapter 45 of 76
Chapter 45: The Table Voted
The old men outside the restaurant on Taylor Street stood up when I got out of the car.
They always stood up for my husband.
Damiano is the Don of Chicago, and nobody has ever left that chair on his own two feet.
Tonight the old men were looking at me.
Damiano came around the car with Maddie's carrier in one hand and put the other at the small of my back.
"Ignore them," he said.
"They stood up for me."
"It's our anniversary. They're being polite."
His hand on my back was too careful.
I'd been married to him a year. I knew that hand.
"You're lying to me on our anniversary," I said.
"I'm taking you to dinner on our anniversary."
He kissed my temple and steered me under the red awning.
He'd booked the front dining room.
Not the back room. The front, with the windows.
"Front room," Pasquale said, already at the table with his napkin tucked in. "Like regular people."
"Regular people don't get the good bread," Dad said. "Sit down, Lulu, he's eaten half of it."
"I'm eighty-five. I eat when I see bread."
"You ate before you saw it."
I put Maddie's carrier on the chair next to me.
