"That's just so great, isn't it? All of us for dinner," Jocelyn trilled, the only light in an oppressive atmosphere that brooded over the table like a storm cloud.
I shifted in my seat as the tension rolling off Dominic from across the table crawled over my skin. His gaze set on Luca and never strayed, cold and unblinking, like a predator who would bide his time, waiting for just the right moment to strike. Every time he looked at Luca, my heart cramped up into a tiny ball, afraid any second it was going to go upside our heads.
"Yeah, it's nice," Luca said. His voice was low and he cut into his steak with maddening slowness. Even enough in tone, but I saw his jaw clench, and the hold on the knife tightened. He'd felt it, too, Dominic's anger simmering, just waiting to boil over.
