She said as she stood from his chair to go back to her desk.
    “Yes I do, this is technically our first kind-of-sort-of date and a gentleman always picks his date up. At least that’s how the Fabrizio men were raised thanks to Uncle Guiseppe.” He replied.
    “Okay, so I’ll see you in a couple of hours.” She said moving past him.
    He reached out and took her hand in his before lifting it to his lips to place a gentle kiss on the back of it. “You’ll definitely see me in a couple of hours if not before because I may not be able to wait that long.”
    “Alright now you’re just exaggerating, you’ve waited longer than that to see me before now so try not to overdo it with your little sugary words.” She said teasingly.
     
    Chapter Three
     
    Toni had just began printing a copy of her report after sending the same report by email to both Gabe and Pierce when Daniele came back into the office. He walked towards her carrying a single yellow rose to signify their budding friendship and the fact that he cared about her tremendously.
    She smiled when she noticed the rose as he came closer. When he was standing in front of her desk he held the rose out to her.
    “For you il mio amore prezioso .” He said with a smile as she accepted the rose.
    “What is this for? And when are you going to tell me what you keep saying to me?” She asked happily.
    “I told you I’ll tell you when I think you’re ready to hear what it means. And the rose is because I care.” He said sweetly.
    “Thank you, no one has ever given me a rose before but don’t roses usually have thorns?’ She inquired.
    “Usually they do but I removed the thorns so you wouldn’t get pricked by one, I told you I’d never hurt you and that means that I wouldn’t give you something that could hurt you. So I’m the first person to ever give you a rose?” He asked unable to believe that no one had ever given this incredible woman something as simple as a rose.
    “Well thank you for being so considerate and to tell you the truth this is the first time I’ve ever received a flower of any kind, so thank you Daniele.” Toni said as she brought the flower to her nose and inhaled deeply then smiled at the lovely aroma.
    As Daniele watched the smile that lit up her gorgeous face he felt his heart swell within his chest. His one desire was to erase from her mind all the terrible things that she’d endured his plan was to replace them with happy loving memories.
    He knew that it would take time for her to realize that he was in this for keeps she was his precious love that’s what he called her il mio amore prezioso, my precious love . That was something he knew she wasn’t ready to hear but when she was he’d make it clear to her that he had no intention of ever letting her go. Fabrizio’s played for keeps and he planned to keep her for all eternity.
    “You are more than welcome, now are you ready to go and get some lunch?” He replied as his mind worked overtime thinking of things that would keep that beautiful smile on her face.
    “Yes I am starving I could hardly wait until it was time for lunch.” She said as she rounded the desk. What she didn’t tell him was that it wasn’t just because she was starving that she could hardly wait. No that wasn’t the only reason it was because she couldn’t wait to see him.
    Toni didn’t know what was wrong with her but for some reason being apart from him for too long made her uneasy. She felt relieved when he was close to her like he was her safety net no man had ever made her feel this way.
    She glanced at Daniele and noticed that he’d changed his clothes instead of the suit he was wearing earlier he was now wearing dark denim jeans and a dark denim button down shirt and he’d slipped on a pair of timberlands. He was a very desirable man and she felt somewhat honored that he had an interest in her.
    Toni knew from going to her group therapy meeting when she was back in New York that it wasn’t
