Dominic said, "To be precise, my mom's the one who told her to leave."

Vespera didn't respond.

Dominic slid his hand around her waist and gently pulled her into his lap, his eyes shining like stars in the dark. "Because she's getting ready to welcome her future daughter-in-law."

Vespera's breath caught.

For a moment, her thoughts fluttered, uncertain whether what she felt was joy or panic.

Dominic gently caressed her cheek. "You don't need to do anything. I'll lead the way."

"Okay," Vespera murmured.

And thought to herself, "You idiot. A sweet, stubborn idiot who doesn't know when to quit."

Dominic lifted her chin and pressed his lips to her.
