I get into the elevator with a hammering heart and flushed cheeks. Why is he so damn gorgeous? I walk out of work just after one o’clock and see the limo and Alan standing beside it. He smiles warmly and opens the back door as if gesturing for me to get in. I smile and make my way over to him. I haven’t heard from Elias all day and wasn’t sure if Alan was in fact coming to collect me. “Hello.” He smiles warmly. “Hello, Chloe Bennett. It’s so lovely to see you.” I get into the back of the limo and find a lone red rose on the back seat, waiting for me. Oh. I smile and inhale it deeply; a beautiful perfume fills the space. The car pulls out from the curb, and I get a vision of myself stomping on the yellow roses the other night. Maniac. I was half hoping that Elias would be in the car
