Natalie gazed at the sign above the entrance, recognizing it as one of the upscale spa resorts developed by the Howard family’s hotel chain.

Brian finished his call in the room and quickly caught up with her, walking beside her just as his phone rang again.

Their eyes met momentarily, and she settled down.

As Brian led Natalie into the dining hall, someone whistled at their side. Natalie turned to the source and recognized the man. He seemed to be one of Brian’s college roommates.

“Little Natalie,” the man greeted her with a knowing smile.

It surprised her that he had remembered her after just a few encounters. Natalie thought his name was Spence or Spencer.
