Chapter 1: Introduction
It was our favorite place, the top floor of The Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, where the world's elite came to enjoy the breathtaking sights of the city. Towering well over a hundred stories tall, the panoramic view spanned from Central Park to the far side of the iconic Empire State Building.
The atmosphere crackled with energy, or so I told myself. I straightened my tie, fingers brushing against the smooth fabric for a sense of comfort. Bree should be here soon, and my heart pounded at the thought.
Our relationship was at a crossroads, and I had a decision to make-to admit to the woman I loved what I truly desired or to let it eat at me. I sipped my wine, glancing around the luxurious penthouse, taking in every detail.
A tap on my shoulder startled me, and I turned to find Bree standing there. She looked stunning with her long hair cascading down her shoulders and a luminous green gaze that could pierce the darkest corners of my soul.
