"Yeah, she's upstairs with Anne."
The two of them exchanged a few words.
Darin said his goodbyes and was about to head out.
Colton spoke up suddenly. "Darin, when are you going to tell her?"
In the dim light, Darin caught a hint of sadness in his father's eyes. He pressed his lips together, thinking for a moment. "When the time feels right. For now, Dad, please keep it to yourself."
Colton let out a sigh. "I know none of this was ever what you wanted."
A wave of guilt crashed over Darin. He forced himself to keep steady. "Thanks, Dad. That means more than you know."
"Are you staying in the Capital for the holiday this year?"
Darin nodded. "Yeah, I am."
Colton managed a small smile. "That's good."
As Darin got into his car, Greg's car pulled up. Darin saw him but looked away, starting the engine and pulling off.
Greg rolled down his window. "Hi, Colton."
Colton nodded at him. "Go on inside. Your mom's made your favorite."
Greg gave a simple nod, not asking anything else, and drove toward the underground garage. Colton turned and walked back into the villa.
Through the rearview mirror, Darin watched as his father's expression turned gentle and Greg's car slipped into the garage. Soon, both of them were out of sight.
Darin suddenly pulled his own car to a stop, sitting there alone in the shadows, shoulders tense and heavy.
He stayed like that for a while.
Eventually, he collected himself, started the car again, and drove off.
He parked at an upscale club and walked into a private room.
Inside, Max was just hanging up a call. He picked up a bottle of red wine and poured Darin a glass.
