The city was alive once again.The streets pulsed with early morning energy, cars honking, people hurrying to work, vendors setting up their stalls. But despite the movement, Aria still felt heavy.She hadn’t slept. Not really.Her dreams had been haunted by piercing blue eyes, by a deep voice she hadn’t even really heard yet, just two words, yet she somehow knew it would unravel her.This is insane.Frustrated, Aria yanked on her running shoes and threw her hair into a messy ponytail.
