Mia Mortale –

Trust me when I say I am fine. Costin has gone to get the help of some nearby sovereigns as Olivier has proven to be stronger than either of us would have imagined. He is smitten with you and won’t back down. Our only hope now is to get you and I alone long enough to mark you. Not the romantic time I would have wanted, but it is now a matter of keeping you safe. I will contact you again soon.

Nico.

My heartbeat sped up just being able to read something from Nico to let me know he was okay. I read the note several times before folding it back up. Olivier was smitten with me? I wondered how much danger that put Nico into and how they were going to get nearby sovereigns involved. It also concerned me that Nico was leaving out some important information – he tended to do that when he thought it would upset or worry me. I cursed myself for picking Paris to go to first. If I had just come to Italy first, none of this would have ever happened. But it did, so now what?

I would just have to wait for Nico to contact me again. It started to make sense. That was why the refrigerator was so well stocked. Nico didn’t want me to leave the apartment. I wondered how he was able to get into the apartment without Olivier seeing him. I knew they each probably had their own different strengths or powers or whatever, but still. Mind control didn’t work on other vampires, did it? I doubted it, which means that maybe, just maybe, Costin was able to help throw Olivier off my scent for a little while.

I looked at my watch and realized that it was time to get ready for work. Maybe this was the distraction I needed. I thought about calling in, but when I thought about what was waiting for me in some of the stores in Tornabuoni, I realized how badly I wanted the money to get some new things for my closet. I could probably ask Nico to buy things for me, but it would be more satisfying if I took care of it on my own. Walking over to the bar would take me a little longer from here than from the hotel, though.

After getting my makeup on and a gray pin-stripe vest on over my black pants, I was ready to go. Walking there wasn’t bothering me because it was still light out. I wondered if I could talk Matt, Giancarlo, or one of the servers to walk me home after we closed? Would it put them in danger, too?
