On the inside though, she was nervous.She's never spent time alone with Noah before! She trusts him because Sloane trusts him—and a
Elena opened the door to a see a man she didn't recognize. He was dressed in light but stylish, colorful button-up and perfectly beige pants. It reminded Elena of the types of outfits she saw on display when Massimo took her on shopping trips to high-end stores."Hello," she said, "how can I help yo
Elena did, in fact, like Sloane's home. It wasn't quite as big as the Ferraro estate but it was much bigger than her childhood home. It looked like a beach house out of a some teen movie with its light blue body and golden rooftop and window trims.The inside was just as spacious as Elena expected i

Elena was careful to walk away from the hospital room slowly. She didn't want to disturb Massimo or Aria. And, more relevantly, she didn't want to risk them talking to her.Elena was sure if she talked to Massimo right now, her resolve would shake. But even though she knew what to do, that didn't ma
Massimo waited at the Violet Garden with his grandfather. While the museum's large selection of flowers was beautiful, Massimo barely gave them any thought.They had to arrive early, of course.
