As they walked, Brianna was in the middle of them, holding Brianna’s both hands and following Brianna’s small steps.

The restaurant Luca brought her to was nothing like what Isabella had imagined it was going to be. There were no excessive blinding chandeliers littered with diamonds, no valet line filled with luxury cars competing for attention, and certainly no deafening music or unnecessary displays of wealth meant to intimidate or impress.

“Excuse me?” Brick grinned and slid his hands into his pockets as he leaned against his desk. “If you forgot Kaitlynn’s last name, then you never knew it. In fact, I bet you don’t know her at all. You just came in here, fishing for information about my—”
