“Really?” Joseph removed the printed itinerary from Rose’s hand and pretended to study it closer, biting back a smile. Davis’s secretary had been astute at following his instructions.

“They must’ve made a mistake. Gotten my booking confused with your flight.” Rose snatched the paper from his hands. “You’re not flying back tomorrow night, are you, instead of me?”

“No. I checked my ticket. It’s definitely booked for Wednesday.”

Rose fell against the backrest, the e-ticket trembling in her hand. “Ugh, this is a disaster. I only packed an overnight bag.” She looked at the travel details again. “And they’ve only booked the hotel for one night. Why?”

Joseph shifted in his seat, the deception harder to pull off. If Rose opened up to him, he’d come clean. Tell her it wasn’t actually a mistake, that he’d specifically requested those bookings to give him time with her.

“Perhaps because I only requested the hotel for one night for myself,” he continued with the lie. But for good reason. “I’d planned to spend a few days in Tuscany. You could come with me, if you’d like.” Please, say yes.

Shooting him a look that could melt ice, Rose folded the paper then grabbed her handbag on the floor beside her feet. She shoved the folded travel reservations into a side pocket and zipped it closed. “I–I can’t go off with you—especially to Tuscany. Besides, I don’t have clothing for an extra four days.”

A low chuckle erupted from Joseph, louder than he’d intended. “Bella Rosa, have you forgotten who I am? What I do for a living? With the snap of my fingers, I can have a wardrobe of clothes in your hotel room, complete with a larger suitcase to fit them all.”

“I–I can’t. I have work. I’ll have to change my booking when we get to Milan. I just hope tomorrow night’s flights aren’t full.”

Joseph leaned on the armrest between them and twisted toward her. He took her hand in his, brought it to his lips, and kissed her fingers.

“Rosa, you’ll always have work. Besides, with the Hamilton wedding out of the way, and your sister’s designs done, aren’t you under less pressure now?” He tilted his head. “Please. Just think about it. A few days under the Tuscan sun will be good for you. And I promise that this is as close as we’ll get, if that’s what you’re afraid of. Or want.”

“I…”

“Think about it, Rose. Please.”

Blowing out a sigh, she nodded.

Joseph released her hand and leaned into his seat. Whether or not Rose admitted to what she’d done before tomorrow, he had to tell her. Show her. He had to keep her in Italy a few more days.
