Chapter 76

The hustle and bustle around the table were infectious as the D'Amico clan gathered together in fellowship, celebrating the sibling's homecoming. Along a long well-dressed table, set outside on the patio with a beautiful view of the vineyards, about twenty people gathered as Poppy watched in awe of brothers, sisters, and extended family ready for the delicious meal the ladies had prepared. Plates clanked while chatter filled the room with a happy tone, and the smell of amazing Italian homecooked cuisine filled their senses. 

Smiling to herself, Poppy rested her head on her brother's shoulder who was sitting next to her. With a hum she mentioned, "I miss this. We used to have the best family gatherings." 

"It's not over, Sis," he whispered. "You'll always be welcome at our table."
