Someone to Love - Chapter 7

Carly walked into the penthouse to find Jason and Sonny deep in conversation as usual and they stopped talking as soon as she walked in, as usual. As she walked in they both turned to look at her.

"Where's Gia?" Jason asked, with an added tone of annoyance from Carly's earlier comments.

"She was tired, and so am I, so I think I'll head to bed also."

"I'll be up in a little while," Sonny called after her.

"Yeah," Carly said as she reached the stairs. She was about to start climbing the stairs when she paused, turned around, and concentrated her focus on Jason. "You know Gia is a really great person once you get to know her."

Jason just stared off into space as Carly continued upstairs.

Sonny studied Jason for a minute, and then spoke softly to him so as to not pull him completely out of his trance, "Why don't you go on home and get some rest."

Jason rubbed his face with his hands, nodded slightly, and walked out the door to his penthouse. Before opening the door to his and his bride's new home, he took a deep breath, preparing himself for whatever may wait for him on the other side. He slowly entered the penthouse and closed it quietly behind him. He took another deep breath, trying to figure out if the current situation was real or not, but there was no need, because a very real Gia was right in front of him.
