I awoke early the next morning because Serafina was prying one of my eyelids open. “It’s time to get up!”

I growled and turned over, hoping she’d go away. She just came over to the other side and started shaking my arm. “Wake up, Kat.”

Had no one in this family ever heard of sleeping in?

“Why won’t she wake up?”

“She’s not a morning person.” I heard Lemon’s voice and opened one eye to glare at her.

“I’d be a morning person if it didn’t start so early in the day.” In my defense, sometimes I got up early all on my own. Like at the crack of noon.

“Come on, we’re going shopping. There’s a lot going on today.”

It was Christmas Eve. We would have to finish shopping because we were running out of time. Which meant I would have to get out of bed. Which I didn’t want to do.

“Can I come? Can I come?” Serafina was jumping on my bed again.

“Sure,” Lemon said. “We already bought your present. You’ll need to ask your mother first.”

“You got me a present?” she asked in a chipmunk-on-crack voice. “What is it?”

“You’ll have to wait until tomorrow,” Lemon said. “Now go ask permission and get dressed. We have to leave soon.” Serafina tore out of the room, yelling something in Italian down the hallway.

“That goes for you too,” Lemon said. “Up and at ’em.”

I groaned but knew I had no choice. I wondered where Chiara had gone off to, but I was too tired to ask. I did the bare minimum to get ready, making sure I had warm clothes on because I could see the snow falling outside of every window. We were going to have a white Christmas.

By the time I pulled my boots on, Serafina was bundled up in similar attire and waiting on my bed with an excited grin. A woman I didn’t recognize was brushing Serafina’s hair and putting it into a complicated braid. “Mamma said I can go!”

Lemon looked up from her smartphone. “So let’s go.”

I started when I noticed Giacomo standing near the door. I went over to see what he wanted. “Good morning. I understand that you are going shopping.”

I nodded.

“His Highness would like you to use this.” He handed me a black and gold credit card. Lemon came over to peer at the card. It looked like it had an actual diamond in the center. “His Highness does not want you to concern yourself with finances while you are here. There is no limit on that particular card.”

“My daddy has been trying for years to get one of those,” Lemon breathed. HRH Prince Dominic II. I ran my fingers over his raised name.

Wow. But no way. I handed it back to Giacomo. “Tell Nico I said thanks, but we’ve got this covered.”

Giacomo looked utterly befuddled. “I don’t understand.”

“I know. But it’s okay. Nico will get it. See ya later, Giacomo.”

Serafina grabbed for my hand, and the three of us walked down the hallway. I could see Nico at the very end of the hallway, walking with Johann toward us.
