We have been sitting at Azure for the past hour. Deno is laughing, Kylie is going on about Vincent.

Our wine is going down smooth, the table decked with snacks and my favorite chocolate truffles.

“How is it that he leaves you more pissed off than when he leaves Marco? And those two can fight,” Deno muses.

“I have my way sugar. Nice to keep things interesting.”

Kylie who is sitting by the window goes stiff as a small smile plays on her lips. A smile I know too well.

Curiosity gets the better of me and I turn my head.

“Speak of the Devil.” I sneer seeing a man I hoped to not lay eyes on today.

Deno finds me amusing as he stands up. He has removed his jacket and pulled up his sleeves since our 2nd shooter. His hair is still sleek and his jaw clean-shaven. His prominent nose, showing his strong Italian heritage.

I keep my eyes on Deno, ignoring the man approaching us.

“Ladies,” Marco says all polite, if only he was like that, polite.

“What brings you here,” Deno asks as the two kisses and hug.

“Actually, Aliyana.” My body goes stiff at the mention of my name from his lips.
