Chapter 18

It was incredible and most astonishing of all, she would also be the first in that, the first girl to know his personal space and the last, because it was obvious that he would only take her for that occasion, there was no way he would leave her on the street, at random, he didn't want to imagine how Vittorio would react if he did that, the situation required it and there was nothing else to do.

Dominic had not tried anything with her in the last few weeks, he had barely even looked at her, besides, he seemed truly uncomfortable having to take her with him and she understood.
