Aiden's POV
"Aiden."
Her voice was the same. Soft, familiar. A ghost from the past.
I turned, and there she was—Elizabeth.
Or rather, Liz.
The nickname I had given her when we were kids, because I always complained that "Elizabeth" was too damn long.
She was smiling at me.
The same smile she always used when she wanted something.
And damn it, she hadn't changed a bit.
I already knew what I was going to do.
Without hesitation, I pulled out my phone, dialing Tobias. "Go pick up Alexia from the spa."
His startled "But sir—" was cut off when I ended the call.
I had bigger matters to deal with right now.
When I looked up, Liz was still smiling, her eyes gleaming with something unreadable.
She had always been good at that—looking at me like I was the only one who could fix whatever problem she had.
