Two days before Serenity and Alden’s wedding, Maximus was wandering through the exclusive boutiques in Valeria, trying to find the perfect gift for his daughter and nephew. No matter how hard he thought about it, he had no idea what to buy.

Since Lucius’s arrival two days ago, Laura and the kids had been glued to him. Maximus felt a little left out, but he chose to give them their space.

Amanda had offered him chances to join in, but Maximus always came up with some excuse to avoid it. It didn’t help that Diana had to travel, leaving him even more isolated.

Frustrated, he sat down at a café, hoping a cup of coffee would help him think. He wasn’t used to this–he had never been one to pick out gifts. Matthew had always handled that for him, knowing both his taste and that of the people around him. But even if Matthew were here, Maximus doubted he would know what to get for Serenity and Alden.

As he waited for his coffee, he scrolled through his phone, looking at pictures of his daughter, trying to find a clue –something that would give him an idea. He did the same with Alden’s photos, but nothing came to mind.

Then, something pulled him out of his thoughts. A tall man with porcelain–white skin, light eyes, and slightly dark hair–dressed impeccably–stood before him.

“Mr. Palmer… No, Mr. Evans. May we speak?” the man asked, his tone refined and polite. Maximus peered at him through his sunglasses, then took them off for a better look.
