Elliot picked up the bag he’d been carrying and set it down on the coffee table. “These are some snacks Mr. Giovanni brought back for you.”

“What snacks?” Stephanie asked. Even though Sebastian had called earlier to say he’d bring her something tasty, she hadn’t really expected him to follow through. Now she was a little curious about what he’d chosen.

“Chestnut cake,” Elliot replied. “Mr. Giovanni tried it and said you’d definitely like it, so he brought some back.”
