Since Marcello's admission Anna has stayed close. The two have toured Las Vegas together with Anna showing Marcello her favourite sights. Anna has enjoyed the company and Marcello has enjoyed being able to touch her whenever he wants to.

"We are not flying out until tomorrow." Marcello grabs Anna from behind.

"I know." Anna leans back into his arms. "But if I don't pack now I'll never do it. The two of us are very easily distracted." Anna's words earn a low groan from Marcello.

"Ok I'm just going to do it!" Anna's bedroom door bursts open and Alex walks in.

"Alex!" Anna scolds. "Knock first."

"Sorry. Hi Marc."

"Alex." Marc gives him a small head nod. "What exactly are you going to do?"

"I'm going to tell my parents about Jess. I'm going to ask if I can bring her for Christmas."

"And if they say no?"

"Then I go with Jess to her parents and lose my inheritance." Alex says confidently.

"Well at least you have a plan." Anna says with a smile shutting her suitcase. "When do you leave?"

"In an hour. I came to say bye." Alex says and Anna wraps her arms around her new friend.

"Come visit and since you are only minutes away yeah?"

"Of course." Alex says. He shakes Marcello's hand. "Look after her."

"I intend to."

The two watch Alex leave. Anna moves back to the bed trying to lift her suitcase.

"Let me." Marc lifts it effortlessly. "Are you sure you don't want to spend your last night with your parents?" Marc was surprised Anna wanted to spend the night in his hotel room.

"Do you not want me to stay with you?"

"Of course I do cara. I just feel bad stealing you from your parents."

"They are rarely home anyway plus we said we'd have dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow. That is a lot of Jacob and Anita time." Anna says with a laugh.

"Now that you're packed would you like to have lunch with me?"

"I guess I can swing that." Marc leads Anna to where his limo is waiting. Anna directs the driver to her favourite diner in Vegas. It is no where near the strip but close to her old high school.

"You know I can afford anything right?" Marc says as they enter.

"This place is cheap yes but they make the best burgers. Trust me." Anna orders them both meals without letting Marcello look at the menu.

Marc phone rings as the waitress walks away and he looks at the caller I.D before answering. "Morretti."

"Don we have a problem."

"What?"

"There has been an attack. Luca is moving Eddison and the kids to the safe house."

"Where was the attack?" Marc asks and Anna's eyes go wide. 'It's ok.' He mouths to her.

"The warehouse and ..."

"Spit it out!"

"Carmichael's apartment." Marc's eyes dart to Anna wondering how on earth he will break the news.

"What about the other two?"

"Luca is letting them stay with him."

"Do you know who is behind it?"

"We are working on it. Possibly the Irish. It was like they were looking for something."

"Call when you have something. I'll be back tomorrow evening."

"Is everything okay?" Anna asks.

"Just a slight issue."

"An attack is only a slight issue?" Anna laughs nervously.

"Nothing I can't handle." Marc sends her a wink. The waitress brings over their food and Anna decides to bring up a sensitive topic.

"I think we need to talk about what happens when we go back to Boston."

"I don't understand." Marc says cautiously.

"Three weeks Marcello you ignored me for three weeks. I just want to know what we are or what we aren't so I don't get my hopes up."

"I already made myself clear on this matter Anastasia but while we are on the topic I think you should move in with me."

"You think what now?"

"You should move in with me."

"I heard you but I think you're crazy."

"Your apartment was broken into."

"What?"

"That was the called I just got-"

"And we're you going to tell me?"

"Anastasia-"

"What if I'd agreed straight away?"

"Anna-"

"Oh my god Elliot and Lucy!"

"Anna!" Marcello grabs her hands. "Your roommates have been taken care of."

"Y-you k-killed them?" Anna stutters remembering what Lucy told her that meant.

"No." Marc laughs at her. "Luca is finding them a place to stay. It appears they were looking for something so when we get back I'll need you to look around and make sure nothing is missing." Anna nods as Marc speaks. "This is an attack on me Anna. Not you. Someone has found out about you. I'm afraid you are stuck with me now." Marc admits.

"Lucky you're nice to look at." Anna says with a wink. Anna isn't sure in that moment what makes her stay but she hopes to God she is making the right choice.
