Kapitel 45: Chapter 45: Soft Living

"Are you ready?" Luca asked Kit as their car pulled up to the launch venue. She turned and gave him a brilliant but nervous smile.

"Born ready," Kit assured him with a nod before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Joey opened the door for Kit with a friendly smile. "Ready, kid?" Joey asked into the car.

Kit chuckled and grabbed his hand as he helped her out of the car. "Thanks, Joe. You look really dapper tonight - are you going to hang around and enjoy the party?"

Joey nodded as he smiled at Kit affectionately. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. You look gorgeous by the way."

Kit smiled at Joey and did a little turn playfully. Luca stepped out of the car and pulled her into his side with an admiring gaze. "I'm the luckiest man here tonight."

"Don't you forget it," Joey said sternly, punctuating the end of his sentence by closing the door. "You two kids have fun. I'll see you inside."
