Definitely better.

It helps that I feel pretty tonight.

I’d never worked with latex before, and somewhere between designing the purple dress and actually putting it on, I became convinced I’d regret wearing for more than twenty minutes.

I was wrong.

It’s surprisingly comfortable, fitted perfectly to me, and exactly the same deep purple as the collar around my neck.

That part I already knew I loved.

I made the collar at home weeks ago, and Luciano’s expression the first time he saw it made every minute I spent getting the color right worth it.

I smile.

Luciano glances down at me. “What?”

“Nothing.”

“That usually means something.”

“I was thinking I’m going to miss Obsidian.”

His expression softens slightly. “We have Elite.”

“I know. That’s why I’m not devastated.”

“Good.”

I look around as we pass another room.

The door opens briefly, releasing a woman’s breathless laugh and the faint clink of metal before closing again.

“Who’s going to run this place when we move?”

“I’m still going to own it.”

“You know what I mean. Who’s going to actually be here?”

“Dominic James.”

I stop walking.

Luciano’s hand slips from my back as he takes half a step before stopping too.

He looks back.

I raise a brow. “Dominic James?”

“Yes.”

“From my list?”

His face changes immediately.

A laugh escapes me.

“We don’t mention that list.”
