We blundered past a group of silver-haired ladies in designer evening dresses. They stood in a circle, talking to someone, laughing and giggling demurely.

“Oh, Christos,” one of the women said, “you are just like your grandfather. You look like him too. If I was a few years younger, I’d chase after you myself.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Moorhouse. If you weren’t married to Mr. Moorhouse, I’d take you up on that offer,” Christos flirted.

Between the shoulders of the silver hairs, I saw Christos, holding a glass of champagne in his hand, talking up all the women. He wore a long sleeve shirt that hugged his body tightly. It showed off his muscles while hiding his tattoos.

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it girls?” Mrs. Moorhouse asked. The hen party clucked in response. “When are you going to paint me, Christos?”

“When my skills have developed to the level required to capture your elegant and timeless beauty. I have a lot to learn.”

Mrs. Moorhouse blushed. “Will someone bring me a fainting couch? I’m about to expire.”

Christos grinned at her. Or should I say Adonis. He was workin’ it tonight! I knew he was probably being charming to sell paintings, but it was gag-worthy all the same.

“Where is Spiridon, by the way?” Mrs. Moorhouse asked. I was wondering the same thing myself. Wouldn’t Spiridon come out to support his grandson at a big event like this?

“My grandfather had to leave early. He wasn’t feeling well.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. Give him my best when you see him, will you?”

“I’ll do that Mrs. Moorhouse.”

“And say hi to your father the next time you see him. We all miss him.”

Christos’ jaw clenched, but he forced a smile at Mrs. Moorhouse. “I’ll do that.”

I squeezed around the group of women and pulled Romeo and Kamiko with me.

“Hey!” Romeo whispered in my ear. “I think Christos is your buddy Adonis!”

“I think you might be right,” I said dryly.

“What’s with his secret identity?”

We were far enough away for us to speak normally. “That’s what I’d like to know.”

“I can’t believe Christos Manos is Adonis,” Kamiko gasped. “He’s super hot, and an amazing artist?!”

“I thought you were only attracted to cartoon men,” Romeo quipped.

“Well, considering Adonis looks like a super hero from a comic book, I’m okay with it.” Kamiko sipped her drink, which was lemon-lime soda, to hide her bashful smile. “He’s like ten times hotter now.”

“Because he looks like Superman?”

Kamiko stamped her foot. “No, stupid! Because he’s a great artist! Do I need to punch you?”

Romeo folded his arms over his chest. “What, and cause a scene?”

“I’ll do it.” Kamiko raised her fist menacingly.

“Great! Because I love scenes!” Romeo giggled. “More drama, more drama!” He devolved into snickering.

I felt a hand slide down my lower back. For a second, I thought it was Brandon and he was pulling that cartoon snake charmer trick like Kamiko had talked about. I turned around. “Oh, hey Adonis! Er, Christos.”

Kamiko and Romeo both said hello.

I had been afraid Christos wouldn’t want to talk to me.
