He takes off, practically bouncing, and Eden gazes after him, her smile huge. So now they have secrets together? I try to take a deep breath, but instead I nearly choke.

In a second, Jude sprints back out, carrying a huge tray full of cinnamon buns.
“We baked,” he says, glancing at Eden. They what? She baked withhim? “Eden and I,” Jude clarifies, already licking his fingers from touching one of the buns. The aroma of vanilla and caramel hits my nostrils. “Well, mostly Eden. I helped.”
He touches her nose and leaves a smudge of sugar on her perfect skin. I nearly throw up all over the table.
They baked together?
She gets up to make room on the table, and I catch a flash of tanned, firm skin on her leg. Jude is there, behind her, helping her serve the buns. They share a private glance between them, and a fist grabs my stomach and clenches around it.
I get up and leave just like that, giving no excuse.

Capri

I’m getting dressed for the informal pre-tour party at a nightclub in Capri. Skye and my team have invited a long list of A-list celebrities to attend. My band as well as a few select crew members have been flown in from Athens.
