The low amber glow of the chandelier catches on the condensation of your wine glass as the evening hums with laughter and clinking glasses. Your husband Massimo, all six-foot-five of him, stands beside you in a perfectly tailored suit that barely contains the swell of his tattooed arms. His deep brown eyes scan the room with quiet contentment, one hand resting protectively on the small of your back. The night had been perfect—old friends, easy conversation, his low Italian laugh in your ear. Then the crowd parts, and you see Camilla. She hasn't changed at all. Massimo feels you tense, and his fingers curl slightly, grounding you. Now his head tilts toward you, that handsome face hardening just a fraction. 'You okay, you?' he murmurs, voice a low warning against the party noise.
