Synopsis

[COMPLETED]

"Pardon me, my date canceled on me. Do you guys mind if I hang out with you for a while?" Luca requests, settling into a seat without awaiting a response.

"What are you doing here?" I whisper to him. He simply winks in response before pulling my chair closer to his.

"Having dinner with a friend." Luca's eyes slightly darken when he makes eye contact with me, making Carlos shift awkwardly in his chair.

"I'm so sorry. Will you excuse me for a second?" I ask Carlos, and he nods.

"Luca, can I talk to you outside?" I ask, but he remains seated, showing no intention of moving. I grasp his arm and guide him outside.

"What are you doing?" I ask again, feeling frustrated, but there's this odd mix of joy and a sense of triumph knowing that he's still willing to fight for us.

"I'm here to bring the love of my life back home," he declares, his posture oozing with determination and a certain raw vulnerability, his piercing gaze fixed upon me.

"Luca, whatever we had between us was over a year ago. I'm sure it wasn't that serious."

"I think you hit your pretty little head while vacationing, Angel," Luca replies, his tone infused with a blend of gentle teasing and underlying affection, a flicker of a smile softening the intensity in his eyes.

I chuckle softly. "Hmm, see? You still love me," he remarks, a mixture of playfulness and earnestness in his voice.
