“I knew this was a bad plan,” I whispered to myself while trying not to faint in the changing room.
After my crazy idea, I decided to just go for it and called Luca’s number—not expecting him to answer, but he did.
I told him I wanted to meet up with him and managed to manipulate Emilio and Beau—into taking me to a public mall. Yes, I was stupid—but to a degree which was why I knew that a public meeting would be the only way, even if it had to be in this tiny, uncomfortable space.
I held my breath, feeling a presence behind me. “Serena…we meet again.” I recognized Luca’s voice.
I turned around and opened my eyes to meet the man standing in front of me. He wore a black hoodie, covering half of his face. I had expected to be scared, but I wasn’t. Deep down, I was still hopeful that he would be the old Luca. The one who was once willing to give his life for me.
“What?” Luca chuckled. “No hug, no warm welcome?”
