Chapter 44

• The silence in the dining room was thick, broken by the sound of utensils against the plates.
• Adrian looked up from his plate and to look at Evelyn who wasn't crying or throwing a tantrum for the first time in four days, her face was calm and peaceful as she chewed on her food. There were dark circles under her eyes.
• He'd watched her fall apart the last four days, and now, seeing her like this brought a strange peace to him. He had made a vow to himself that no matter what Matteo had planned, he would never let him get close to her or touch a strand of her hair.
