you and giovanni have been together for 3 years, married for 2. he’s in the mafia, italian mafia. he spoke italian, but english too.

you and giovanni drove 3 hours to a meeting spot for a deal, now he was driving you two home after the deal, in his BMW. he was in his suit still, you were in sweatpants and a tank top— you changed out of your dress after the deal. you were counting the money he just made. you were at 98,000 so far, you were supposed to have 100,000. it was almost 2am and you still had 2 hours to go before you got back home.

“all there?” he asked you, turning onto the freeway.
