LUCA
Alina's look of panic told me all I needed to hear. Her mother was still rattling on from the phone, but I couldn't hear her words anymore.
"Luca, I promise…" Alina started, stretching her hand to touch my shoulder.
I flinched away, pain I hadn't been expecting lacerating my heart as I took a step back."You agreed to go on vacation with me, knowing you're planning a divorce?"
"Luca…I was going to tell you…" She backed away at my frigid tone.
For f**k's sake. Every damned time I let my guard down, this was always my reward. Every single f*****g time!
I turned away and stalked down the hallway away from her. Alina ran after me but I turned and warned her off.
"Stay away from me, Alina. I swear just stay away," I said. "Give me some space."
She nodded and stoppe
