“Mia, work ran late. I’m sorry. I can’t make it home for dinner. I’ll bring home your favorite mango mousse cake, okay?”

Half an hour later, Lucien was still at dinner with Summer, unaware of my message until his phone rang. It was his assistant.
“Alpha Lucien,” the voice said, tense. “There’s been a plane crash. One of the evening flights just went down.”
