Excerpt

I’m almost home. Very much looking forward to the peace and tranquility of my sanctuary. That’s what my penthouse is to me. It’s my escape from everything and everyone. High above the city where no one can find me, no one can see me, no one can hear me. It’s perfect.

Yet, this evening, as I walk through the foyer, it suddenly seems quiet and vast and empty. Putting my things down, I head over to the bar to fix a drink, the clink of ice cubes on glass echoing through the silence. Mindlessly pouring the scotch, I fill the glass a little too much. Not that I really care; I probably need it.

Standing at the window, I take a fortifying sip, relax my shoulders, and look out across the ocean, lit up and sparkling by the full moon hanging low in the early night sky. My mind is fully occupied by Charlotte, wondering where she is right now, what she’s doing, what she’s thinking. And there it is, that feeling deep in my core, the same one I felt when I was walking toward her for the first time. Like a magnet, being pulled by that invisible force of energy. If you let it go, they inevitably lock together with a snap, sometimes impossible to break apart.

I should tread lightly. My sudden obsession is new ground; this powerful attraction and bone-deep need for her is foreign. Initially, my easy confidence has no doubt she will be mine and soon. That’s how it’s always worked for me. But in the back of my mind, there is something telling me it’s different this time. She’s different. My grip tightens on my glass as I try to ignore the possessive longing that just came over me. This could get interesting.

I raise my glass to the moon, now blazing bright. “Here’s to you, Charlotte LeFay, until we meet again.”
