“Liam?” Leah glances at me and I usher

her to the side. “We’ll take a table back in

the main room,” I tell Antoine.

I spin Leah around and get her on the

other side of the curtain.

“What is my brother doing here?”

“Dining,” I reply easily. “What else?”

“A team will be joining us, Antoine. Please position them appropriately.”

“Of course, sir. Right away, sir.”

We sit and take the menus he extends to

us.

breads on the table. Leah reads her

menu and I’m glad that she isn’t too put off by the fact that her brother is in the

same exclusive restaurant.
