“So, this is your place, is it?” The softly accented voice made him freeze.
Italy. Warm Tuscan sunlight, softly rolling hills through wine country. Cheese and pasta and pizza and . . . her.
He accidentally knocked the shaker to the floor. It didn’t break because this was a family place and they’d learned long ago that plastic was safer with the kiddos, but Henry watched in slow horror as the lid popped off and salt spread out on the tile floor.
Though his horror didn’t come from the spilled salt.
No. It came from the fact that she was there.
He turned. Saw for sure he hadn’t been mistaken.
She was there.
Isabella Mariano was in Darlington, Utah. Inside his restaurant.
“Buona notte, Henry.”
He’d last seen her as she’d gotten on a plane heading the opposite direction of where he’d needed her, flying away when he’d asked her to stay, bolting while his heart had been left to shatter.
“Isabella,” he said coldly.
If she noticed his tone, she didn’t comment on it.
Then again, she was good at that.
“What are you doing here?” he prompted when she didn’t say anything further.
She swept over to him, heels clicking on the tile floor, more beautiful than ever. Her brown hair fell in perfect waves, her killer body was clad in sleek designer clothes, and a diamond ring on her left ring finger sparkled in the dim light.
Diamond ring.
On her left hand.
He processed that, but her words still hit him like a two-by-four to the temple.
“I want you to cater my wedding.”
