Alessia’s lips curled in a half-smile, her response a noncommittal, “Mm.” Then she started walking toward the
bus stop.
Zachary couldn't quite read her, but he knew better than to push his luck. He hurried to catch up, walking beside
her. When he glanced down and caught the hint of a smile tugging at her mouth, the tension in his chest finally

deserved his care and protection. There was no more room for doubt.
Things were looking up.

or a hearty sandwich.

school. They'd started talking about hiring someone reliable who could cook and handle the rush.
Ethan, the eldest, was thriving at his internship, thanks to Calvert's one-on-one mentoring. He'd already closed
two major cases, throwing himself into work with a drive that bordered on obsession. His strong skills and
easygoing manner quickly
won over the rest of the law firm.

moving on to more advanced studies. With Xander’s help, his health had improved tically-gone was the
pale, frail boy from before.
Liam, the third brother, had covered Tristan’s debut song and was suddenly everywhere. His air of mystery and
steady stream of new music kept him in the spotlight. According to his dance teacher, Liam was a natural talent,
putting in extra hours of practice every day, and he'd beca hot commodity for both Jason and the other
producers.
Jason, in particular, considered Liam a real gem-his musical instinct was second to none. Jason could hardly wait
to collaborate and create a song that would beca timeless classic.

As for Ivan... in the end, he joined Alessia and the others at the amusement park. “Are you done with work?”
Alessia asked.
“The project's finally wrapped up. Don’t worry-I've been eating and sleeping well.” Cole reached over to smooth
the furrow between her brows, a quiet smile playing at his lips.
