Chapter 74 A Chance Encounter

• The rooftop party is only slightly illuminated, the whole crowd shadowed, with conversations and laughter mingled in the air. I oversee the scenery, trying to get rid of the disturbing thoughts that have been floating in my mind since the last meeting with my client. Tonight, I just want to breathe, to feel anything other than the weight of his demands.
• And then I see him.
• Ethan. Standing by the bar, his eyes catching mine as if we were the only two people in the room. Immediately, my heart does that infuriating flip it always does when he's near, but I firmly push it down, reminding myself of the distance I've created between us. Yet there was something in his gaze that had held me there.
