"But Emily, at least hear him out. He only came to see if you're alright," Aria urged gently, trying to ease the tension.

She felt bad for Matteo, fearing he might feel humiliated, but she was also slightly irritated with him. He brought this on himself, she thought. Why had he insisted on disturbing Emily at such an hour? Still, as a guest, she treated him with respect and politeness. "I'm going to sleep, and you should too, Mia," Emily said, dodging her friend's urging. She moved her hand, already resting on the door, to close it without giving Aria a chance to respond.

Matteo's heart sank as he watched Emily ignore him completely. He couldn't let her walk away with this misunderstanding, and the thought of her punishing him for his family's mistakes sparked frustration. Reacting quickly, he placed his hand against the door, stopping Emily from shutting him out.

"What are you doing, Matteo?" Aria scolded, clearly annoyed by his behavior toward her friend. But Matteo ignored Aria's irritation, his gaze fixed entirely on the woman before him.

Emily struggled to close the door, but Matteo held his hand firmly against it—not pushing, just preventing her from shutting him out. His eyes were calm and gentle, and the pleading expression on his face made Emily feel her resolve silently breaking down. She swallowed, steadying herself as she fought to regain her

composure.

"What are you doing here?" she finally breathed, the furrow between her finely shaped brows deepening as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and Matteo realized she was feeling uneasy. His first instinct was to give her space, to leave her alone, but he couldn't just walk away and leave her to be on her own. He wanted to be with her, to comfort her in his arms.

"Why did you run off without saying a word?" Matteo's accusing voice echoed in Emily's ears, making her freeze. "I told you we were going on a date, so why did you disappear just like that?" he questioned again, his tone a mix of hurt and frustration.

Aria asked, glancing between them. Emily chewed her lower lip shyly, a hint of crimson spreading across her cheeks, while Matteo stood silently, waiting for her to respond to her best friend, perhaps to explain the nature of their relationship. "Amore mio, let's give them some space," Alessandro's deep voice resonated from behind her, causing Aria to jump slightly.
