"Some parts of it. My father told me that he had friends in Kerch."
"Yeah, some pretty heavy hitters, too. I stayed there until he sent for me, and then I ended up in Italy at a damned winery. Your father was there talking to some Italian guy in Italian. So, I didn't even know what they were saying. Then he offered me a job to work there, market his stuff, you know legit work. He bought the damned winery that day, and I got a sweet job. It's nice."
"Why didn't you call me?"
"I wanted to, but Dmitry and Royal insisted that I did not. They said to get my life straight first, make sure the heat was off of that last thing, because it was all over the world news and everything, and then when it was time, I could see you again."
Anatoly looked down at the ground. "I should have never sent you there."
"It's the best thing you have done. Really," she lifted his chin.
"So you're not a deviant anymore?"
"Oh, yeah," she laughed. "I'm just not setting up old rich guys anymore. I sell wine," she laughed. "But I've missed you."
He leaned against the island and pulled him to her. "Missed you."
"Are you hungry?"
"Not really."
"Want to get out here. Maybe go to the condo?" she asked. "It has been a month."
Anatoly patted his pockets. "I've got my keys right here. Lets go."
"What about saying goodbye to your folks?"
"My father said goodbye when he sent me in here," he smiled. "I'll catch him in the morning."
The two left quickly towards the garage while the rest of the family ate dinner together and laughed and sang while the band played an upbeat Russian tune.
Snacking on a pickle, Royal looked towards the door to see if anyone was coming. "I guess he found the wine," she laughed.
"I guess so," Dmitry shook his head. He pulled her to him and kissed her lips. "I love you."
"I love you, too," she said, touching his face.
"What about me?" Anya asked.
"We love you, too," they both said, pulling her over to them.
