CHAPTER ONE: FEBRUARY 1, 2009
Il mese di febbraio Amore -- February The Month Of Love
Bobby Goren wakes up in a panic … not because the triplets are crying but because it's February first, Valentine's Day is in thirteen days and he hasn't even thought of a gift for Alex … let alone the perfect gift.
He smiles at the mixture of sounds he hears … his perfect gifts … the gifts that she has given to him. Tracy, Haley and the pint size John. He can hear John wailing away, Tracy's soft cries, Haley's cooing and Alex's beautiful voice soothing her babies. He slides out of bed and tiptoes past the children's room, down the hall and almost makes it down the stairs … of course there is always that one creaky step. Alex hears it and smiles … she knows what her husband is up to. Moments later he arrives with a cup of coffee in hand … black extra, extra sugar … sweet for his sweet.
It's a beautiful sunny Sunday and he tells her they should pack up the kids and head to the city. They can walk in the crisp clean winter air and window shop.
It's February 1, 2009 … he's on a mission. Search for the perfect valentine gift. Day one, window shopping … spying on his wife.
What the hell is a pashmina?
