Thank you, Rai.

Raina E. Saraci

You’re welcome, baby.

You said you’d be busy.

I wanted to make sure my hubby ate.

Lucas Saraci

Baby? Hubby?

I feel like you’re setting me up for something.

A poisoning.

Or maybe a butcher knife to the aorta.

Raina E. Saraci

I’m sweet.

Lucas Saraci

I’ll confirm that at a later date.

“Raina, where’d you run off to this time? Girl, when I find you…”

She peered through the slit in the maintenance closet as Estelle walked by. Today, there were dozens of models and influencers on set, and the company had lunch catered, expecting everyone to eat together.

But she wanted Lucas’ lunch.

Plus, texting him in a loud, wide-open room reminiscent of a high school cafeteria didn’t offer her the same level of intimacy.

Raina E. Saraci

How would you confirm that?

Lucas Saraci

Gustation.

Now, I received a notification. It’s asking me to update your contact information.

Did you change your name to Raina E. Saraci?

Raina E. Saraci

I’m committing to the role.

Lucas Saraci

What does the E stand for?

Raina E. Saraci

Elodie.
