"I'm so sorry if this bores you, but Enrique and I met in the most uninteresting manner possible, right my love?" Grace laughed, giving Enrique the signal to fill in for her.

You see, Lila here has plans of running a book cafe and the amazing thing is that she chose one of my properties for the location." "Really? That's great, tell us more about it?

CHAPTER 12 SOPHIA Lucas had picked a quaint càfe nestled between two charming bookstores on a peaceful street. Inside,the gentle hum of soft jazz floated through the air,blending perfectly with the coffee cups and the occasional flips of book pages from the bookstore. It wasn't loud or crowded.

He’d never told her his first name before. She turned, her smile softening. “Alright.
