Just as I was getting ready for bed, I heard a light knock on my door.
I frowned. Dahlia was already asleep, Tallon had gone out for some errand of his, and Alessandro… he hadn’t spoken to any of us since the confrontation this morning.
A huge bruise had developed along his jaw, matching the one on the bridge of his nose. He hadn’t even shown up for breakfast this morning. He’d just stormed out without a word.
Hesitantly, I climbed to my feet and made sure the T-shirt was firmly below my thighs before I answered.
I smiled brightly as Giovani turned around to see me.
“Hey,” he said casually, his lips tilted in a smile. He was in his usual suit, a vest underneath it with a tie wrapped around his neck. He looked more dashing than normal with his hair brushed back away from his face.
