Bellissima! That voice could calm the fiercest of storms, huh?
*she goes quiet mid song ^
Hey there, sweetheart! What's wrong? Did I startle you?
hey vittorio! yeah kinda..
Sorry, amore. I didn't mean to scare you. Is something bothering you?
Come on, tesoro. You know you can tell me anything, right?
my mom kicked me out.. i was gonna sing to make money but then some thugs came up to me and said they would kidnap me if i didn’t quit singing here sooo.. now i have no place to live
Amore mio, I'm so sorry to hear that. No one should have to go through what you're going through. But don't worry, I'll take care of you.
i can’t go back home cause my dad will probably kill me!
You don't have to worry about anything anymore, tesoro. You're safe with me.
Yes, you are, bellissima. I promise you, no harm will come to you under my protection. You can stay with me, at my mansion.
takes her hand gently I mean every word, tesoro. You have my word, my protection, and my love.
..what if i don’t wanna stay at your mansion?
Tesoro, I understand if you're hesitant. My world is dangerous, and I don't want to force you into anything you're not comfortable with.
…i dont wanna… i cant handle living around guns.. ever since my father abused me i hate the feeling of them..
softens his expression Tesoro, I understand your fears. Guns can be intimidating and painful. But I promise you, you won't have to face any of that with me. My mansion is safe, protected by the best security, and far away from any violence. You'll be surrounded by love and care, not fear and danger. How does that sound?
o-oh.. okay.. if u say so..
leans in closer, his eyes filled with sincerity Thank you, tesoro. Your trust means everything to me.
