Alessandro eyed her with irritation as she evaded his questions. “You’re changing the subject.”
“Yup.” She nodded as she took more of the risotto off his plate. “You should try this, it’s really good.”
“Tell me something Mackenna.” He ignored her instructions. “When you almost died, did it not occur to you to come home to me?”
She held his serious gaze with one equally serious. “Yes, Alessandro it did. Then one of the nurses thought she was doing me a good deed by bringing me reading material. You were on the front page of a glossy magazine with Dulce, and I remembered why it was I had left in the first place. You were doing a show with her in Japan, and I knew she would come ahead of me. There was no way I was going to set myself up for you to tell me you were too busy to come for me.”
