“I don’t think I can stand anymore.” They had entered the library and Sabrina staggered to the nearest couch. Luca was striding to an alcove farther in the room, his back to her, so he didn’t see her wince when she sat down. Thank God. He’d asked repeatedly if she was okay. Glutton for him that she was, she refused to stop until Luca had called for a break.

He turned to her, cradling a drink in his hand. “Would you care for some?” He was standing by the bar. “We have some non-alcoholic drinks, too.”

Her stomach rumbled.“Maybe some water.”

“I asked the chef to serve dinner in thirty minutes.” He bent and rummaged under the bar, then rose with a bottle of sparkling water in hand. “I’m starving.

“Me too,” a little voice chirped.

Both she and Luca whipped their heads around to find the speaker. Sabrina spotted her by the foot of a wall-mounted floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. A chubby-cheeked, curly-haired girl of about three sat there.

“Principessa Alessa. Buon giorno!”

“Buon giorno.” The toddler replied, getting on all fours to steady herself as she made to rise, her bottom sticking out in the air for a few seconds before she was fully upright. She looked around her and spied a book on the floor, one she was probably perusing before they interrupted her. She squatted, grabbed a corner, rose, and dragged the heavy book as she made her way to Luca, who had made himself comfortable beside her on the couch. He had deposited a bottle of water and a glass on the coffee table.

“She’s so adorable!”

She had dark curly hair and big blue eyes.

“She’s not mine,” Luca said in amusement.

“I didn’t say anything!”

“But you thought it.”

The little girl stopped in front of Luca and gazed at him solemnly. “Stowy.” She was trying to lift the book onto his lap and climb on it at the same time. Her chubby feet were bare. “Wead.”

Luca scooped her up. “She’s my goddaughter.” He kissed the top of the moppet’s head, and Sabrina’s belly clenched.

The tableau in front of her affected her on so many levels. Growing up with an absent father. Check. Imagining Luca as a dad with his own daughter. Check. Imagining Luca as the father of her child. Uncheck.

She ordered her ovaries to stand down.

“Alessa is the captain's and Antonia the stewardess’ kid. They bring her on board when there are no events.”

The chubby-cheeked toddler demanded his attention and tapped the book impatiently.

“Good choice of book,” he said, grinning. He tilted the cover so Sabrina could see the title. It was a heavy, coffee table book.

“The House of Argenti: A Hundred Years in Fashion” she read aloud. “That would make for a very interesting read for a toddler,” she chuckled.

“It’s all in the delivery. Watch and learn, cara.” He settled Alessa more snugly on his lap and began reading. “Once upon a time in a town called Milan lived a man named Petro. He was a shoemaker.”

She quirked an eyebrow.

“It’s true. My great-grandfather was a shoemaker.
