I didn’t sleep all night. All I did was think about Giancarlo and his kiss. It was so gentle. So familiar. So sexy. So practiced. So unsettling. I played that part of the evening over and over again, dancing on the terrace in the moonlight with Portofino twinkling all around us. I would have given anything for it to have been Thomas. Giancarlo’s kiss was sweet and tantalizing—like a spritz of champagne. Thomas’s, on the other hand, had depth and passion. They were as complex and alluring and satisfying as a fine bordeaux.

I also thought about Alesandro.

His laid-back style was an act. He gave the impression that he had not a care in the world, and that was part of his talent. It took energy, creativity, drive, and discipline to break into a museum. And the robbery at the Ritz had required long-range planning and nerves of steel. And the Riviera robberies? Well, it took an enormous amount of stamina to rob two ladies in two different hotels on the same night. All you had to do was see Alesandro on the tennis court to appreciate his level of energy and concentration. But the personality he put on was feline, magnetic. He just watched and watched, and waited for his victims to come to him, for the time to be exactly right to slip upstairs for a nightcap. Then, I imagined, he handed off his loot to the girl he’d been having lunch with at Splendido Mare. I assumed she dressed as a hotel maid and waited in the hall for him to come out.

I further assumed his accomplice had paged him because she’d had another bird on the wire.
