Victoria Clydell is struggling in Sacramento. Everything is work, school, sleep, eat, work, sleep, eat, work... She has no time for herself and busying either working for money, or spending that money on rent in the big city.
While at work, keeping busy watching the clock and attempting to not fall asleep, she finally gets a customer after several daylight hours, now into the night. He comes in with full silence, barely changing the atmosphere from before. His outfit shows that he probably hangs out in dark alleys hiding from society; or the police. And now he has come into the dim light of the café for the first time.
At first, he seems like just someone who has to finally get something to eat after his long life of shadows, but soon after, she figures he has something way more on him. He doesn't look up, he doesn't drink his ordered water.
Soon, he leaves. Allowing the café to return to its normal state of undisturbed quietness. And when Victoria is given her leave, she takes not time get out of the place. She grabs her bags and rushes out, but she doesn't really make it as far as she hoped.

This is book two in the Lost&Found Series but can be read as a stand alone. *** I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated.
