Chapter 4

I hightailed it out of there. To my relief, they kept their word and didn't come after me.

When I returned to our hotel room, I found it empty. I dug out my phone and saw that Sera sent me a text telling me she was feeling better and had gone out to lunch.

I moved to my bed, sinking down onto it, and promptly burst into tears.

I felt silly. Even after my breakup with Brian I hadn't felt this devastated. But in the brief time I'd know the Adonises, I'd felt an undeniable connection with them. They were gorgeous, smart, funny—and insane. I never should have let myself develop a crush. As ridiculous as it was to care for a group of men I’d known for less than a day, I was still heartbroken.

But what could I do? There was obviously something very, very wrong with them. Or they were playing an elaborate prank on me, along with that guy who grabbed me. Edelwald? Edelnar? The name sounded ridiculously made up. They could have at least gone for a more realistic name.

“Oh my God, are you crying?” Sera asked.

I blinked, looking up. I'd been so involved in my thoughts I hadn't noticed Sera entering the room. She looked well rested and vibrant; a complete three-sixty from the coughing and sneezing mess she'd been when I left.

“What happened?” she asked, dropping her shopping bags onto the floor.

I wiped my eyes, considering. I could tell her exactly what happened, but it was too humiliating.

“They weren’t interested. Turns out they really did just want me to join them for a group tour. They blew me off,” I said, avoiding her eyes. I hated lying to her, but there was no way I was going to tell her what actually happened. “It’s . . . Brian. This all just made me miss Brian.”

“Oh Liana,” Sera murmured, compassion flaring in her eyes, and a stab of guilt pierced me for the lie. “I’m so sorry. I could have sworn they were all into you—but you know what? Who needs ‘em. I say we take you to another club—“

“No,” I said. The last thing I needed was another man—or men. “I'm going to focus on my nerdy touristy stuff the rest of the time I’m here.”

“OK,” Sera said reluctantly, “but if you change your mind . . .”

“I won’t,” I said, getting to my feet. “I’m done with men.”

But the Adonises remained on my mind. While Sera and I ate dinner in the hotel restaurant, I thought about the way Gabriel looked at me on the streetcar, with a mixture of curiosity and desire. How Noel's French accent shaped my name on his tongue. The way Xavier's face lit up when I told him how much I was into history. The way Adrian blushed whenever our eyes met.

We listened to a jazz band play in the lobby after dinner, and other images came to my mind. The dreams. The dreams I hadn't let myself think about too much when I was around them.
