Nicholas Russo had been shocked when he heard the gossip about Dimitri bringing a wife to the party. He was not there when they made their grand entrance, so he had to tail them for a while to snoop and see what she really looked like.
He thought he would never get the chance to get her alone to himself, but he knew his chance had come up when she went to the restroom. He was going to corner her when she got out, but he was sidetracked by somebody he knew, missing the opportunity. Then, it seemed that fate was in his corner because he got another chance when she decided to have a snack on the patio.
She was pretty but what interested him when he was observing her earlier was that she didn't shy away from pointed questions that the catty women threw her way and now she was proving herself to him once again. Her personality was as strong as Dimitri's.
