“Is something up?” Sylvia asked.

Eugene replied thoughtfully, “Let’s talk after you finish eating.”

Sylvia glanced at the man sitting across from her, worried that the rest of the meal would be uneasy. She smiled, trying to lighten the mood. “Let’s just talk about it now.”

Eugene said, “I wanted to discuss Grandma’s will with you. If you’re free on Monday, we can go get everything notarized and distribute her estate according to her wishes.”

Sylvia nodded. “Alright.”

“Finish your meal first. We’ll go over the details when we meet later.”

After hanging up, Sylvia looked up and met Gabriel’s cold, dark gaze.

“Why are you still getting involved with the Winters family?” Gabriel asked.

Sylvia explained what Eugene had asked her to do. “He doesn’t want Grandma Winters’ dowry, which she treasured her whole life, to get squandered by his dad and uncle. So, we agreed that I would inherit the dowry, and then I could sell it back to Eugene for a nominal price.”

It was Eugene’s idea, and since Sylvia was already involved, she felt she should see it through.

Gabriel’s expression was cool. “And then what? He’ll thank you, maybe take you out for dinner? He’s bound to run into more issues down the line—are you going to keep helping him?”

Sylvia slowly raised her eyes, her look a little innocent. “I’ve already agreed to help. What do you think I should do?”

Gabriel’s eyes were steely. “I’ll handle it.”

Sylvia looked at him in surprise. “How are you going to handle it?”

“Just leave it to me. But you’re not to see him again.”

Sylvia could tell he wasn’t going to budge. She gave a soft laugh and looked down to keep eating.

After dinner, the two of them sat in the car. Gabriel glanced at his watch. “Where to next?”

They’d already gone shopping and eaten—what else was there to do?

Sylvia leaned back on the sofa, sipping juice through a straw. As the movie started, surround sound filled the room, and the dim lighting set a perfect mood.

Gabriel lounged back, expressionless, his eyes fixed on the screen. The flickering light played over his face, making him look completely absorbed.

After about ten minutes, as the movie got more interesting, Gabriel turned to Sylvia. “Are you enjoying it?”

A spark lit up Sylvia’s soft, mesmerizing eyes. Her red lips parted slightly. “It’s good, but it feels like something’s missing.”

Gabriel’s voice was low and magnetic. “What’s missing?”

Sylvia leaned closer, her beautiful eyes sultry and a little hazy. Her gaze drifted from his eyes down to his lips. As if enchanted, she leaned in and kissed him.

Her long, curled lashes cast soft shadows, hiding the glimmer in her eyes as she lost herself in the kiss.

Gabriel gently took the juice from her hand, wrapped his arm around her waist, and drew her onto the wide sofa.

“Nana…”

He said her name again, his voice deep and resonant, as if it had traveled from the depths of his soul.
