Theo watched the car head down the drive, taking Angelica away. No doubt she’d tell everyone about the woman he’d brought back with him. His instinctive need to protect Leah built, but he’d face Dimitri first. Their meetings usually didn’t go much beyond balance sheets and brainstorming business expansions. They lived and breathed the banking business and their unspoken agreement had cemented over the years—they never discussed the past. But while Theo had protected the old man for so long, he couldn’t have him hate Leah.

‘Tell me about her,’ Dimitri said quietly when Theo went to the old man’s study to explain.

Theo thought about the way she supported her ballet friend, her brother, those elderly residents at that home. ‘She’s very caring.’ But he braced—there was no point prevaricating. ‘She’s pregnant.’

Dimitri didn’t move.

‘You’ll make her welcome,’ he added, wondering if that man had even heard what he’d said. ‘I am responsible for her.’

To his total astonishment and total discomfort, Dimitri’s eyes filled.

‘She’s having your child?’ the old man clarified.

‘Yes.’ He still had to steel himself to admit it aloud, let alone prepare for the reaction he was about to get.

‘I didn’t think…’ The old man breathed out. ‘Good, Theo.’

Good? Theo blinked, gobsmacked by the old man’s obvious emotion. Good?

‘She will have my great-grandson.’ Pride lit the old man’s face.

Theo still couldn’t stand to imagine an actual baby, but at Dimitri’s satisfied certainty he couldn’t help a small tease. ‘Or great-granddaughter.’

‘Wonderful.’ Dimitri actually beamed at the prospect. ‘Then you’d better go take care of her.’

No more questions? No desire to know more? No judgment? Theo couldn’t believe it.

Hurting more somehow, he pushed away the previously unimaginable mental picture of Dimitri hovering over a bundle in Leah’s arms. He felt as if he were skating on the thinnest of ice. With one wrong move, it would crack and they’d be dragged down to drown in frigid waters. But if he kept his steps careful, they could all stay safe.
