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.

“Where’s HE at?” -The words slipped out so quiet they barely made a sound, like she wasn’t sure she wanted to know.

For years, she’d dodged even saying his name. No one dared touch that old wound in her heart.

She’d buried him deep, grieved him in silence, and told herself he was gone for good.

But now Sebastian was saying he’d seen him.

Hearing his name cracked something open inside her–years of numbness split apart, like a jolt of energy hitting her hard.
