Chapter 30 Valentina

• Valentina
• I smile as I lean back in my desk chair and scroll through the photos I took with Abuela. I’ve been going to see her every other day after work, and she seems to be doing so much better. Her new nurses are kind and incredibly professional, going as far as sending me hourly updates about her. It’s such a relief to know that she’s in good hands. I owe it all to Luca and his team.
• I smirk and bite down on my lip as my thoughts turn to him. He truly seems to be trying his best to be kinder, to repent for the pain he caused. When he told me he’d earn my forgiveness, I thought it was a pretty but empty promise. I should’ve known better. He truly doesn’t do anything halfheartedly. He’s been patient, never asking for more than I’m willing to give, and he’s gentle with me in a way he never used to be.
