Chapter 34

• Sophia Reeds POV:
• As soon as Luciana was out of sight, I slipped out of The Blue Spoon, my mind racing with the implications of what I'd just heard. The air outside felt brisk, a stark contrast to the warmth of the restaurant, but it did little to cool my excitement or my anxiety. I scanned the street until I spotted Nathan, waiting in his car just down the block.
• I hurried over, pulling open the car door and sliding into the passenger seat. "Nathan, you won't believe what just happened," I said, my voice a mix of urgency and thrill.
