CHAPTER 43

  • Danica had been following Gio’s scent, hoping to hunt him down and get him to stop brooding when she heard Duda’s words: “You know, you could just ask her to stay for good.” It was said that eavesdroppers tended to hear things they didn’t like. In this case, the saying had proven to be true. It wasn’t as though she’d thought things were any different than how Gio firmly stated to Duda, and it wasn’t as though she’d thought he cared for her.

They would stomp all over you if they spotted a weakness, just like her dad and Cody. She couldn’t afford for Gio to know that she felt anything for him. Having pasted an easy smile on her face, she walked out of the trees and over to the patio table, examining Gio’s cautious expression as well as Duda’s apologetic one. “Hell, Duda, was it really necessary to needle him when he was already in a bad mood?” she said playfully.
