12 • Camille
Alone in her bedroom, Camille sat back and set the sketchbook away from herself to study her latest design, and within moments she decided her favorite thing about the whole ensemble was its understated elegance.

Room to Fall 13 • Camille
As a senior editor at the American branch of one of the world’s biggest fashion and lifestyle magazines, Camille was no stranger to beauty—especially as she came across a host of public figures and models who’d gone under the knife in her line of work, and this was not taking into consideration the lavish background she came from.She’d thought hersel

“I want you to fuck me,” she whispered, and Milo said nothing.There was no need to as, within moments, he’d turned and flipped them over so that Camille lay under him with both wrists secured firmly over her head in one of his hands, his body a familiar weight on top of hers.
Room to Fall 15 • Nicolo
Nico hated travelling by air whenever planes were involved and always had, as he found them stifling, which was absurd as he evidently never had the same problems with helicopters. He suspected his dislike had less to do with the amount of room involved, but rather the proximity of an illusion of freedom both afforded him in either case.Still he had to admit that they were better than elevators, public bathroom sta

The deserted sidewalks she’d jogged on only that morning were now packed with pedestrians, corporate types and students on their way to another day of drudgery, depending on what their faces, pinched or otherwise indicated. As Camille joined the masses, becoming just another faceless stranger in the crush of bodies, she pondered on a Machiavelli quote she sometimes turned to when she did not want to think about work, or family, or anything really.

Itwasthe woman from the café, the same one who’d spilt her hot coffee on him when he went after her, Nico admitted finally to himself as he settled into the settee, repositioning himself until he was comfortable before pulling the laptop off the coffee table and onto his thigh; a younger, more naïve-looking version of her perhaps, but her alright.The same big blue eyes in a wickedly magnificent
