Inside the car, Kade adjusted his baseball cap and kept his eyes glued to the taillights of the Mercedes.
His phone was already synced with his earpiece, just waiting for him to check in.
The drive took about twenty-five minutes, winding through the city.
Emma was chatting about her classes, Ayla's recovery, and this new coffee shop that popped up near campus.
Alexander listened, responding at appropriate moments, but part of him was always working, analyzing everything.
When they got to La Virelli, the valet was already on his way over.
The place looked classy without being over the top, with warm lights shining from big windows and the fancy "V" logo hanging above the entrance.
As Alexander handed over his keys and helped Emma out of the car, Kade parked half a block away. He picked up his phone and quickly shot off a text.
"Following them. They stopped at La Virelli."
The reply didn't come right away.
