LOGINASHER "Aren't you happy to see me?" Luca asked Ariella, wiggling his eyebrows dramatically. I immediately shot him a warning look. Then leaned closer and whispered, "What the fuck are you doing here?" He didn't even have the decency to look guilty. Instead, he smiled, then winked at me. The b
ASHER Ariella took a deep breath. Then another. I watched her expression change and the smile faded. The nerves returned as she looked toward the door. Toward whatever was waiting for her there. I squeezed her hand and immediately her eyes found mine again. "You don't have to do this today." The
