328 Our Little Secret

Love always finds a way back to you.

In the corner of Lina's eye, she saw movement. Taking a slow sip of her moscato mixed with gin, the only alcohol she could tolerate, she wondered who it could be. Paying the guest no mind, she peered over her shoulder to see Belle entertaining a man in uniform.
