1 laughed at his enthusiasm and pulled him into a quick hug, but he wasn’t ready to let go of me yet and held me tighter. “Surprise,” I spoke as I struggled to release myself from his grip

“I’m sorry!” Dario apologized. “It’s just that I hadn’t expected to see you here!”

He was so excited to see me, and I didn’t want to ruin it, so I let out the part that Christian send me to deliver a message. “How are you doing?” I asked as I looked behind him. “I think this is the smallest room I’ve ever been in, in my entire life.” Dario laughed as he walked further.

“But it’ll do. It’s just for a while until…

“Until the Lamberti’s accept you?” I chuckled at the nervous smile on his face. “Christian told them about you, and they would love to meet you,” I told Dario. “How does tomorrow sound to you?”

Dario was speechless and pulled me into another hug while I couldn’t help but laugh at his good energy. “Tomorrow is amazing. Tomorrow sounds great!”

“Good.” I nodded. Despite everything that had happened, he seemed to be in good spirits, and I wondered why. “You look happy today.” I commented. Dario grabbed my hand once again and looked into my eyes. “It’s because of you, Serena,” Dario admitted.

I felt my cheeks heat up at his unexpected answer and almost felt guilty for not being able to return whatever he felt for me. I had always been loyal to Christian, and it would remain that way.

Dario, fortunately, got the hint and lowered his head.
