Iris:
The next day passed entirely by shopping with Luca. He bought a lot of jewelry for Zoe, so much that I finally felt he was beginning to understand her sacrifices, how she had fought everyone to keep this relationship alive.
Otherwise, if Kash had his way, he would have separated Markus and Zoe long ago. I was in favor of that too, because until now I believed Markus did not deserve her. But now everyone would finally see how much he actually cared for her.
As we walked toward the car carrying several bags, Markus glanced at the items in my hands.
"I bought these for the kids too," he told me, pulling out a few extra bags.
"When did you pick these up?" I asked, confused.
"Magic," he replied with a grin.
I did not feel like joking with him at all. I was only going around with him for one reason, the surprise party. That was it. I had not forgotten the past. Sometimes it is better to stay quiet when you have nothing to say.
