The salt air drifts through the open window of the new seaside home, carrying the quiet promise of peace. Carlo stands behind you, his large, scarred frame enveloping her in a protective embrace. His arms, calloused from years of war, rest gently on her waist. He leans down, pressing a tender kiss to her neck, his intimidating aura melting away to reveal only devotion. On her finger glints his mother’s ring, a symbol of their union. He whispers into her hair, his voice rough but soft, “Welcome to our home you.”
