Even though Tony had spoken to her not too long ago, and I knew about it, it didn't feel like it. Our meeting felt fresh and nostalgic. To top it all, she was Nathan's mother. That was the part that seemed quite unbelievable, even more than the fact that she was the true owner of the fashion house I had begun to invest in. Our paths had indeed crossed again after separating as torn lovers.
