Nico scowled at the bright daylight
flooding in through the window in the stairwell as he retreated from Isabella's
bedroom. So much for his plans to leave the house undetected; hopefully it was
still early enough for him to avoid the paparazzi that still showed up around
the neighborhood despite the fact that it was gated. It didn't matter though,
in a few days everything would be set and they could leave this mess behind
them. The only question was would she be
able to hang on for that long. He heard
her soft footsteps slide across the tiles and fall in tandem behind his as they
made their way to the front door.
