‘Isla, I love you, full stop. We’d have worked it out, whoever the father was.’
He loved her. Isla accepted it then.
‘Marry me?’ Alessi said.
‘Try and stop me.’ Isla smiled. ‘Can we not tell anyone about the baby yet, though? I want to keep it to ourselves for a little while.’
‘And me,’ Alessi said.
‘We’ve only being going out for a few weeks …’
‘Oh, no,’ Alessi said, and took her in his arms. ‘I’ve been crazy about you since the night I first met you and I was right that night …’ He gave her a slightly wicked smile of triumph. ‘You did want me.’
‘I did,’ Isla said, blushing at the memory. ‘God, I’ve wasted so much time.’
‘I wouldn’t change a thing about us, Isla. You know there is another saying, Isla, “Ki’taxa vathia’ mes sta ma’tia sou ke i’da to me’llon mas”.’
‘What does it mean?’
‘It means I looked deep into your eyes and I saw our future. That was what happened on the night we first met and that is what is happening now. You are my future, Isla.’
‘And you are mine.’
They had a past, they had the future and, Isla knew as Alessi kissed her, they were for ever together now.
