Prologue
Grinder
It had been ten years since it last snowed in the hills outside of Austin, Texas. Ten years. It had also been ten years since I first met Pia Deltetto—the woman I believed might one day be my wife, the mother of my children.
I’d lived a lot of life in the years between then and now. Most of which I’d prefer to forget. There were days, weeks, even months when I wished I could forget Pia too, but she was too stubborn to let me. Her fiery spirit would force itself out of my subconscious until she was once again the star of my dreams—both awake and asleep.
Invariably, that meant I’d soon hear from her, as though my own spirit was connected to hers no matter where we were in the world.
I was on my way to see Pia now, traveling to the airport on this cold-as-hell night. It would take me fifteen hours to get to Florence, Italy. By the time I reached Tuscany, it would be Christmas.
Perhaps her gift to me would be one of forgiveness, although I knew, in my heart, that would be too much to ask for.
