Rain poured down like a falling galaxy, drumming hard against the café's windows —but not a single drop left a trace. The protective barrier surrounding the building didn't just block sound-it swallowed every physical impact.

Landon gripped the umbrella handle. He could still smell the lingering lily-of-the- valley scent in the air... but no trace of Nathan's frostborne pheromones. The barrier was scaling them in.

Tessa stood still, unmoving. Nathan was still inside.

If the two of them saw each other now, everything she'd done-all the restraint, the decisions, the sacrifices -would be for nothing.

That lunatic Nathan... surely he wouldn't walk out now. Right?

Landon walked up to her, quietly closing the umbrella and stepping under the protection of the awning beside her.

"If it's a friend, why didn't you just bring them to the villa?" he asked softly. "We've got everything at home. No need to come out in weather like this."

And really-what kind of "friend" meeting needed to happen in a café surrounded by a barrier like that?

Landon was curious, of course. But more than anything, he respected Tessa's privacy. If she didn't want to say, he wouldn't press her.

"It's nothing. Just a regular friend. I didn't feel like bringing him to the villa," she replied casually.

"Your friend already left?"
