His Need (The Billionaire Dom Diaries, Part One)
“I still wasn't prepared for the weight of it, like rocks were piled onto my chest with every second that passed and I didn't tell her the truth.
Italy with my father was like a dream I never knew I wanted. Home was the nightmare that I was dying to escape.
As soon as the wheels touched down in Venice I noticed the change in him. From the moment we piled into the water taxi, he couldn't stop smiling. When he spoke to me, it wasn't like our usual interactions. On the rare occasions he was... at home, we piled around the dining room table, searching for the right words to say. My father was the first to concede, not even trying to be present. To pretend that he wanted to be with us. The silence said everything.
