“Luciano—”

“Come with me, princesa.”

“Where?”

“Lucero Tower.”

She blinks. “Right now?”

“Yes.”

“Can it wait?”

“No.”

Her attention moves between me and the garment racks.

“What about my things?”

“They’ll be fine.”

“But—”

“The men know what to do.”

Her eyes narrow further. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because you’re beautiful.”

“That was suspicious.”

I take her hand and press a kiss to her knuckles. “Come with me.”

She studies me for another second, then lets me lead her toward the door.

“Whatever you’re doing, I’m going to figure it out.”

“You can try.”
