She couldn’t stand it when Sebastian clammed up–it always meant he was chewing on something big, something heavy.

“You know I want Stefi too,” he said, his voice low and steady.

Stephanie stood off to the side, lips parting a bit, but nothing came out.

Hearing that hit her hard–a warm wave flooded her chest.

Sebastian let out a quick, skeptical snort. “So you’re saying you teamed up with Luca, and now you can’t even get each other on the phone?”

Sofia huffed, annoyed. “I don’t know, alright? Luca gave me a number, but it’s useless now.”

She felt like she was losing it–her thoughts all tangled up.

Sofia had no idea what Luca was up to. Sure, other people might not track her down, but she was her boss.
