Lorenzo's brows drew together, his eyes darting between Vincenzo and me. He looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he nodded.I followed Vincenzo out the door.The hallway was quiet except for the kids' laughter in the distance.He stood at the end of the hall, staring at me hungrily, as though he were trying to burn every inch of me into his memory."Do you know how long I've been looking for you?" His voice was raw. "I've spent the past few days searching ballet schools all over Europe. I knew you'd go back to dance."I leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and looked at him."So? What's your point? That you know me so well?"He faltered."Vivian... I know about the baby." He stepped closer and lowered his voice. "But we can have another one. I'll make it up to you."We've had seven years together. I just lost my head for a little while."He paused and swallowed hard."And don't worry. That woman isn't carrying my child anymore."He sounded as though he were reading

You didn't."Vincenzo swallowed hard."So what do you feel for me? Is it love, obsession, or the need to own me?" I looked into his eyes. "Someone who would never leave you finally did, and now you can't stand it."His lips parted, but nothing came out."Leave us alone."Vincenzo stood there for a long, long time.He'd only meant to scare them.Jealousy had coiled around his gut like a snake.She'd moved into that man's house, called him her fiancé, and laughed so easily right in front of him.He couldn't stand it.He'd only wanted to frighten her, to make her understand that she couldn't just leave him.At most, he'd meant to scorch the living room and scare the kid
