Donovan smiled back at her. "When I'm 21, where do you want to go first? Where do you want to live?"

Phoebe bit her lip. "I don't know. Anywhere away from here I guess. I haven't thought too much abour that. What about you?"

Donovan thought about this. "Italy. Rural Italy."

Phoebe smiled. "That sounds noce. Can you soeak italian?" She asked. She didn't know but she could learn.

Donovan smiled, "And about 47 other languages."

Phoebe stared at him wide eyed. "What the fuck?"

Donovan tilted his head. "Hey, I had to have some sort of value for the Mafia to think me valuable enough to spare my sister."

"Yeah, but 50 languages? How the fuck you manage to learn all of them?"

Donovan shrugged. "When I was a kid, my parents were always busy, and I ended up somehow homeschooling myself. When I was bored, I'd spend some time learning a new language. I don't know how I managed to cram all of it in my tiny head, but by the time I was 13, I was fluent in a little over a dozen, and passable in all the rest."

Phoebe stared at him in awe. "You're a genius."

Donovan snorted with laughter at this. "Hardly."

"You are. Who else do you know that has learned 50 languages?"

Donovan thought about this. "No, I'm the first in the mafia with that skill, but there's one guy who has thousands of documents committed to memory, one person who can drive or fly any vehicle in existence with ease, and another guy who can do any type of combat…. There's plenty of others, I just never bothered learning much about them.

Phoebe looked up at him. "I bet you could if you tried to learn. You could be the best at everything if you tried."

Donovan laughed. "Nah. I don't want to give them anymore reason to keep me past 21."

Phoebe smiled. "No, I guess not. If they tried I suppose I would have to kill them all but that's so messy. And I don't like getting blood on my clothes. It never washes out."

Donovan rolled his eyes, grinning stupidly.

Phoebe giggled and leaned into his arm. "So, just make sure they don't keep you any longer."

Donovan pulled her closer and hefted her up so he was carrying her. "I won't."

Phoebe squealed when he picked her up but held onto him tight none the less.

Donovan finished carrying her to the school. "Are we going up the fire escape, or do you have a different idea?"

Phoebe shrugged. "I don't care as long as you don't put me down. I'm comfy."

Donovan smiled and kissed her cheek. "Ok, but I'm going to have to put you down to shower you know."

Phoebe turned her cheek so he kissed her lips instead. "As long as I get to be in there with you I'm fine."

Donovan chuckled and headed up the fire escape, finally getting to her window and prying it open, rolling in, being careful of her.
