“It’s possible. But my guys are good. You won’t notice them unless you need them, and this is more a precautionary measure than anything else. There haven’t been any threats made.”
“But it’s still early, right?”
He tilted his head in acknowledgment. “True.”
“Ok. Is there anything else?”
I think that’s it. I have a meeting, so I’ll be out for most of the day.”
“Ok.”
“I’ll be going.” Before she knew what hit her, he dropped his head and put a quick peck on her lips. The touch was electric, and she moaned and Dante deepened the kiss. She fisted his shirt and tried to get closer to him. He broke away from her.
“See you tonight.” And he was gone.
Chapter 20
Madison was surprised when Sabrina called her the day after Henry’s funeral
“Hey, sorry I’ve been MIA. It was hard to process so many things at one time.”
“I understand.” And she did. It was hard for her to believe that yesterday she buried Henry and got married.
“I wanted to talk to you.”
“Sure.”
“In person.”
Brows knitted together. “Why?”
“Well, part of what I want to show you I can’t over the phone.”
“Can you take a picture of it? I’m supposed to meet Becky in a few hours.” She had already done her interview with the fashion house.
“Well, I wanted to give it to you to keep. You might want it.”
“Ok Sabrina, this all sounds mysterious.” Madison didn’t want to hear anything else that had to do with rumors or to see pictures of her and Dante together.
“Fine. I’ll tell you over the phone. I’m pregnant with Henry’s child.”
“What?” Madison couldn’t believe it.
“Yes, they had me on bed rest because I was bleeding when I found out Henry had died.”
“Oh, Sabrina that’s terrible.” Madison’s heart squeezed, and she believed she was in the wrong for thinking Sabrina didn’t care for Henry, or even care enough for him as a person enough to show up. “Oh, this is so exciting. I’m going to be an aunt. What did you want to give me?”
“An ultrasound picture of the baby for you and your dad.”
“Oh, Dad will want that. Where are you? I’ll come meet you now.”
“Great.”

Madison showed up outside the cafe to find Sabrina and her brother Randy waiting. “Hey.” She gave them each a hug. Sabrina was stiff in her arms. “I can’t believe this is happening. Dad will be so excited when I tell him.”
“Did you tell anyone where you were going?”
