Amelia: "Thank you for an incredible night."

Xander: "We should do it again."

Amelia: "I'd like that."

He walked her to her door.

Xander: "Until next time."

She hesitated before standing on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek.

Amelia: "Take care, Xander."

He watched her enter the building before returning to his car, a satisfied expression on his face.

Inside her apartment, Amelia set her things down and flopped onto the couch, a dreamy smile lingering.

Her phone buzzed with a voicemail notification. She played the message.

Unknown Voice: "Miss Hart, this is a friendly warning. Stay away from Alexander Drakov."

She sat up abruptly, the pleasant haze dissipating.

Amelia: "Who is this?"

But the message ended there.

An uneasy feeling settled in. She needed to find out who was behind these cryptic warnings.

Determined, she decided to do some research. Opening her laptop, she delved into online records, forums, and any information she could find about Xander and his connections.

Hours passed with little to show for it. Frustrated, she considered calling Sophie but decided against it.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.

She approached cautiously.

Amelia: "Who is it?"

Voice: "It's Sophie!"

She exhaled in relief, opening the door.

Amelia: "Hey! What are you doing here?"

Sophie: "I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by. You weren't answering your phone."

Amelia glanced at her phone—it was silent.

Amelia: "Sorry, I must have missed your calls."

They settled on the couch.

Sophie: "So, how was your night?"

Amelia hesitated, debating how much to share.
