LOREY POV
Mr. Rome has always been one of my fantasies.
Tall, about six feet three with sleek dark hair, a broad chest, and long arms that looked strong enough to pull anyone close. His warm hazel eyes and the confident way he carried himself made it impossible not to notice him. Even when I was younger, I always found myself staring a little longer than I should have.
He and my dad have been friends for almost two years now. Since he works in Australia, he rarely comes to New York. But I heard he would be visiting and staying with us for a while.
The thought alone made a smile slowly spread across my face.
My stomach fluttered and a rush of excitement filled my chest. Maybe, just maybe some of the fantasies I had secretly imagined might finally come true.
“Lorey… Lorey!” my mom call
