Abigail Drake answered Deonna's question: Luca’s sisters need stories told! Gaida needs to end up in New York with Nick! Matteo is darling and you could go way into the future with his story! Please, write on with this place and these people agree??? That is definitely the plan! As soon as I started getting to know Luca's sisters, I realized they'd need to have their own stories as well. You are absolutely right!

“But I’m curious. Why didn’t you change Capone’s name?” “Because I love him for who he is, the good parts and the not so good parts. I don’t want to change a thing about him. Not even his name. That’s how it is when you truly love someone. You accept them, faults and all.”
― Abigail Drake, Love, Chocolate, and a Dog Named Al Capone
