Chapter 38

• Leonardo's POV
• I came home from the gala around two with the whiskey still warm in my blood because I drank more than usual to make the speeches and handshakes go easier. The house stayed dark and quiet when the driver dropped me off so I waved him away and walked inside alone.
• My tie hung loose around my neck and my shirt stayed unbuttoned at the top and I felt the cool air on my skin while I locked the door behind me. The hallway echoed a little with my footsteps but no one stirred because Denise slept early and the staff went to bed hours ago.
