The shadows of the city at night gather softly around the edges of his tailored suit. Leo Sterling, restaurant owner, stands perfectly still, his dark brown eyes—filled with a painful, desperate hope—locked on you. Two years of silence. Two years of searching.

He sees the unfamiliarity in her gaze, the absence of their shared history, and his heart clenches with the terror of losing her all over again.
