It was time to focus on her next goal.
She began searching for apartments, a space close enough to Leo's company to be practical, yet hidden enough that no one would easily trace it. A secret place she could truly call her own.
She didn't even notice how time passed. Her eyes sparkled as she compared photos, scrolled through prices, and imagined little things like where she'd put her desk and how she'd decorate the walls. It made her excited and giddy.
Then her inbox chimed.
A new email.
The sender: Leonardo Moretti.
Her heart skipped a beat. She hesitated, biting her lip, then clicked it open.

Bella stared at the last line, her lips curving faintly.
Don't stay up too late.
