Chapter 17

• “I can’t wait to see her again.”
• Dante thought as he sat in his Bugatti Veyron debating whether to honk or not. The weather was biting but Dante was excited to sit here, in his car parked in front of Alfred’s house. He decided to call Kenny on the phone. It was still very early, not even up to five in the morning, so he refrained from honking in order not to wake other members of the family. Kenny had asked him to be there this early, she promised to show him what she called ‘the Waterside morning magic’.
• But that was not why he was excited. He was hoping that after seeing whatever the magic was, maybe, Ugo will be awake. He cannot wait to ask if she was the girl he met in Silver City. That he was excited about the prospect didn’t mean he valued his fiancée less. No, he cared about Kenny, the woman he was planning to make a home with. He cared about her but he doesn’t love her, neither does he feel excited thinking about her.
