If the Ring Fits... (2012)
“They dragged by, actually. Tony was going to be away for far longer before this trip was done.
But for the first time in years, he felt restless to return to the States—Michigan in particular, since his family was there. It was approaching the holidays, he told himself. They made him nostalgic, which was why he’d already made plans to fly in for Christmas, stay for the day, and then fly back out. He had a meeting in New York the following day. New Year’s Eve would find him in Rome at the an...nual party of a business colleague and friend.
His mother would never forgive him if he missed a second big family dinner. As it was, he had yet to hear the end of it for being absent on Thanksgiving Day.
Rachel had been there, not for the actual meal but for dessert.
She’d dropped by at his mother’s invitation—command was more like it. Lucia was hard to say no to. She had told Tony all about Rachel’s visit during a phone call later that same night, waking him up a full two hours before his alarm was set to go off.MoreLess
