Epilogue
Fuck.
I sat back in my chair as the CozyScape leaderboard flashed in front of my face. Principessa_di_Cozy had done it. Her ice cream shop victory had given her enough points to surge ahead of me. For the first time in a year, it wasn’t my name in the number one spot.
I cracked my knuckles. That was okay. I could get back on top. I’d heard there was an adventure quest that would give over one hundred bonus points. I just had to find the hidden entrance.
I was about to dive back into the game when there was a knock at the door. I groaned when Leona burst inside wearing her all-black combat suit and a smirk. Her arms were crossed, her popped hip leaning against my office doorframe.
“Ronan, we have to go.”
I leaned back in my chair. “I don’t understand why I have to attend.”
“Sienna invited you, so if you’re not there, she’ll be upset. And if she gets upset, Dimitri will kill you. So basically your life depends on it.”
“My life depends on attending a baby’s baptism?”
“Yes. Besides, I’m Lilya’s godmother. This is a big moment for me.” She tossed her fiery hair over her shoulder.
I gave her a wry smile. “Don’t you have to be, uhh, religious to be a godmother? Or at least nurturing?”
“What are you talking about? I’m a devout member of the Russian Orthodox Church.”
I snorted. “Since when?”
She shot me an exasperated look. “Since Sienna texted me thirty minutes ago to tell me I’m Russian Orthodox. Also, I am fucking nurturing. The most nurturing. Just only to Lilya and Clementine.”
“Last time you were with Clementine, you were teaching her how to throw a punch,” I said dryly.
“Yeah, I was nurturing her fighting abilities.” She snapped her fingers. “Quit stalling and get off your ass. We need to go.”
I knew better than to argue with Leona. With one more longing gaze at my CozyScape village, I pushed out of my chair to attend what I was sure would be the world’s most unhinged baptism.
The end.
See what happens when Sienna and Dimi return to Paris in this sweet and spicy bonus scene!
