For a second, a storm flickered across Russell’s face.

The elevator doors opened at the first floor,

A passerby caught a glimpse of their “Intimate” posture and muttered, “Seriously? Can’t you w

wait till you get a room?”

He shot Russell a quick, nervous look–one glance at Hussell’s eyes, dark and deadly, and be jabbed the ‘close door‘ button, vanishing without another word.

Aria stepped back, punched the eighteenth–floor button again.

This time, Russell didn’t make another move

She stepped out. As she did, Russell’s voice drifted after her, “Aria, you care about a lot of people”

Aria paused, turned back with a faint smile. “So do you. Like Orlando. Or that girl who’s always by your side?

Aria frowned, “Why the nineteenth?”

“I was going to buy a place thele, but somenne beat me to it. I want to see if they sell

“You don’t have to firate on the nineteenth floor

“Yeah, but it’s closer to you.”

She gave him a look. “You don’t need to buy a place just to see me. You’re welcome to visit anytime.”

Derek’s eyes sparkled, instantly taking advantage “It’s getting late. Canicrash here tonight?”

“Sure.”
