With a deliciously breathy sigh, she dropped her own cell into her purse.

Begrudgingly, I released my hold on her hand. “Until tonight,gattaredda.”

It was a vow.

Recognizing it as such, she stilled. “Text me.”

Delighted by the command, I nodded, then watched as she got to her feet.

Half in the booth and half out, she pondered, “Will I get my reward tonight?”

In fact, she was one bigpesterer.

She’d been pissing me off the whole day, to the point I was regretting buying her a damn ticket!

“I’m waiting for a message.”

Because I was a brilliant travel agent, and our flights had passedwithout a delay, we’d arrived in Cancún early enough to hit the evening scene.

Of course, I’d expected to receive a text before we’d left our hotel room.

And it was making me second-guess myself.

Which was annoying.

Custanzu promised.

I had to have faith in that.
