Laura announces how she just wanted to prove Xander wrong, and it's honestly comical how similar they are.

Before she leaves she comes over in my direction.

uhhh wtf did I do?

She comes over to me and whispers "By the way you're paintings look much better than the holes in the walls."

what the fuck?

how does she know that?

I don't even sign my paintings

I tense up a little bit, but she continues "I didn't know if the others knew so I didn't want to say that to everyone. But seriously your paintings are gorgeous brother."

fuck i'm gonna cry.

Laura pats my shoulder and goes off to bed.

everyone in the house knows I paint, but we don't talk about it much.

The fact that she told me this privately makes me think she isn't as scary as she looks

yes....my baby sister is scary

Wait this is the first time she's really spoken to me.

omg what did Luca do to her to make her more comfortable?

"What was that about?" Alessandro asks me

"It was nothing" I brush him off

"Well whatever she said made you start smiling" Matteo says with a smirk

wow I didn't even realize

"Eh it's nothing to worry about." I say in a final tone

"So Luca are you ready for your fight tonight?" Dad asks

"Oh yeah I'm definitely ready. I'm just worried about us leaving Laura home alone." He tells us

"We have security all around the house. There's nothing to be worried about." Matteo tells him softly

"But what if something happens again?" Luca asks, his voice breaking

"Nothing will happen to her. We have more guards around the house now that she's back. We know she can take care of herself if needed, but I highly doubt she'll need to." Dad tells him sternly

"You can check in on her before we leave, and when we get back" Xavier adds

"Yeah you're right." Luca breathes out

"Okay. We wanted to be there around 10 to watch some of the fights. Luca you're fighting at 11:30. You can either come with us or get there later. It's up to you." Dad tells everyone

"I'll just go with you guys" Luca says shrugging his shoulders

"Alright. We should leave in about 45 minutes then. Everyone go get ready." Dad says
