266 Words
alexa slid into the back seat of her private car ,her designer heels sinking into plush leather as summer city traffic swallow her up her racing thoughts wouldn't silence , not even on the ride to her own company's biggest launch. she'd planned every detail, from the caviar canapés to the pearl-white decor, but one thing she hadn't planned on was the ache in her chest. success felt hollow with no one to share it with .as her phone buzzed with work emails, alexa gazed out at summer city's chaotic beauty - shiny sleek towers , the distant gleam of the Atlantic - and wondered if love was another thing to check off her list . next bit:her phone buzzed again - a text from her best friend, Michelle: girl, don't forget the launch party tonight! and don't come alone Michelle wrote with a smug emoji
alexa smiled, texting back: like I have time for a date with a eye roll emoji. but Michelle's text sparked something-maybe tonight wasn't just about business. maybe it was about finding what she was missing alexa hit send,then tossed her phone into her bag as the car slowed at a red light . outside, summer city pulsed- horn's blaring, street vendors calling out deals, the Beat of loud music drifting from a nearby club .she rolled down the window letting the chaos in. tonight was about making waves, not making plans . but as she breathed in the scent of grilled sausage and night air ,she couldn't change the feeling something- or someone- was about to walk into her orbit
