“What are you doing up this late?” Sebastian asked.

Stephanie hesitated.

She wanted to say she was hungry, but she wasn’t sure if Sebastian would allow it.

He was strict about food and meal times–late–night snacks had always been off–limits.

But right now, she couldn’t take it anymore.

Sebastian noticed, of course.

Without warning, he pulled her into his arms. “That settles it. No crazy dieting.”

He still remembered the last time Sofia had tried to lose weight. The doctor said she was severely lacking in some essential nutrients from long–term malnutrition.
