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 couldn't agree fast enough. "Yes," she said.Her husband delicately pressed a finger to her lips before kissing her. But it wasn't at all what she was expecting.The kiss was just as delicate. It was short but full of love. It was almost chaste.Elena was confused. That couldn't have been it.
Elena waited for Matteo to continue. If he knew anything about Tyler's mystery woman, it would be extremely helpful.The only problem was that Matteo wasn't talking. He was frowning as he squeezed his eyes closed, his brow furrowed."Fuck," Matteo swore, "just give me a minute... Ah, she had red hai
