After ten minutes of arguing, yelling, bribing, and one near-wrestling match between Marco and Antonio, Matteo raised a hand.
"Alright. One condition."
Eleni crossed her arms. "What?"
Matteo turned to the rest of them. "We meet him. All of us."
Enzo: "Individually."
Leonardo: "With questions."
Antonio: "And a lie detector."
Eleni groaned. "You guys are insane."
But... she smiled anyway.
Because deep down, beneath the chaos and overprotection and random surveillance, she knew—
They weren't just guarding her.
They were loving her in the only way they knew how: loudly, dramatically, and together.
