CHAPTER 16

FIONA

Tuscany, 2017

I opened my eyes, discovered that it was morning, and marveled at the fact that I had slept soundly the entire night. I often had trouble sleeping. I’d wake in the predawn darkness and fret about all sorts of things—my father’s health, issues at work, debts that couldn’t be repaid. Anton had been inexplicably generous in his will, but I wasn’t entirely confident that all my money troubles were over. For one thing, Connor was not going to surrender without a fight, and even if he did, I still didn’t feel right about keeping everything for myself. It was too much. That alone should have been enough to make me toss and turn for hours, but for some reason, it hadn’t disrupted a single dream the night before. It must have been the jet lag.

After rolling over to check the clock, I yawned, stretched, and sighed at the pleasant notion that it was only half past six. I had time for a leisurely shower and an extra cappuccino at breakfast before I met Vincent for my vineyard tour at nine.

An hour later, dressed in black cargo shorts and a white T-shirt, I was wandering past the front desk on my way to the breakfast room when Anna called out to me. “Ms. Bell, someone just called for you!”

I stopped and approached, accepted the slip of paper she held out, and read a name and phone number. “I don’t know this person.”

“He’s an agente immobiliare,” Anna told me. “A real estate agent from Florence.”

“Why is he calling me?”

“He wouldn’t say, but he made me promise to ask you to call him. He used the word urgente.”

“Urgent?”

“Sì.”

I backed away from the desk. “Thank you, Anna. I’ll call, but I need coffee first. And please call me Fiona.” I tucked the message into the pocket of my shorts and went for breakfast.
