Amy sighed with contentment and gave herself up to another one of those kisses she would never, ever tire of. The clock in the corner was reminding them that the last minutes of this Christmas day might be ticking away but there still seemed to be plenty of magic in the air.
It was Luke who spoke when they reluctantly drew apart.
‘It’s me who should be thanking you,’ he said.
‘What for?’
‘For giving my grandmother that scrapbook. I don’t think she’s ever going to put it down. She says she feels as if you’ve given her back part of her daughter. The happiest part.’
‘Did you hear her say
“Buon Natale”
to Nonna?’
‘Yes.’ Luke smiled. ‘Her accent was atrocious but it’s a start, isn’t it?’ He held Amy close. ‘You’ve changed everything for us, my love. Especially for me. I don’t think I can ever tell you how grateful I am that I’ve found you. That, by some extraordinary miracle, you love me. It’s too new. Too wonderful.’
‘It’s real,’ Amy assured him. ‘And this is my gift to you today, Luca. My love. My heart and soul. For ever.’
Luca’s eyes were suspiciously bright. ‘Then it’s the same as my gift to you.
Buon Natale
, Amy.’
‘
Buon Natale
, Luca.’
