Angela POV

"How did you know where his wallet was?" Olivia asked, her eyes wide with suspicion.

I swallowed hard, willing my racing heart to slow. I was surprised at myself-after five years apart, I still remembered all of Sean's little habits, down to exactly where he kept

his wallet and cards.

"I guessed," I replied, forcing a casual shrug. "Lucky guess."

"That was some guess," Olivia remarked with a playful smile. "If you hadn't spent

the last five years in Italy, I'd suspect you two had dated before."

My heart skipped a beat at how close she'd inadvertently come to the truth.

After getting Sean's room key, we had hotel staff help us transport his unconscious form

to his room. Once the bellman had departed, Sean sprawled across the king- sized bed, his

breathing heavy but steady.

To my horror, Olivia climbed onto the edge of the bed and began working at the buttons

of Sean's shirt.

"What are you doing?" I demanded, more sharply than I intended.

Olivia looked up, surprised by my tone. "I'm just helping him out of this shirt. It's wet and

covered in whiskey stains. He'll be more comfortable without it."

"Let's have the male hotel staff help him with that," I insisted, pulling her gently but firmly away from the bed. "It's getting late, and my children are waiting at home. We should go."

Olivia cast one last lingering glance at Sean, clearly reluctant to leave. Before turning away, she quickly slipped something into the pocket of his pants.

Just as we were about to exit, Sean stirred slightly, mumbling incoherently. His voice, though slurred, sounded like he was saying my name.

"What's he saying?" Olivia asked, pausing at the doorway.
