I took the usual shortcut home through the park. Typically, it was always a bad idea to travel alone through Central Park, but it was the middle of the day and I had nothing to worry about except my own clumsy feet getting stuck in the snow.

Why do eccentric people always have chess sets at the ready? I stand at the oversized windows and gaze out at the snow falling on the city. The skyline sparkles, but I’m not familiar with any particular landmark within close proximity, so I surmise we’re in Tribeca, especially given that it’s one of the most expensive neighborhoods in New York. A trendy locale where the upper crust resides. I’m not sure what to do.

Mr Burkley opened the door and turned to me. " Good luck Brielle. " " Thank you sir " I smiled and walked out the apartment and onto the busy streets of New York City. I caught a taxi and I sat in the back. I rarely rode in taxis. The only time I did is when I was late for something and I only had 25 minutes to get to the building. I gave the man the address and he drove off. After about 15 minutes I noticed the area start to look a little more expensive.

Mom made me memorize it just in case the need arises for me to describe where I live.’ Eva chuckled. ‘That’s so thoughtful of her. Let me grab a pen real quick to write it down.’ She moved around a bit. ‘I got it. Let me have the address.’ ‘We stay at house 156, Orange Street Brooklyn.’ ‘Oh my God! You both are so far away from me.’ Eva lamented.

Just the sound of my own breathing and, growing louder by the second, a dry, papery rustle from every direction at once. I looked up at my building. The windows of Apartment 4B were dark. But the windows of 4A were dark too. And 4C. And 3B. Every window on Cedar Street was dark, because every building on Cedar Street had received the same fortune. The same address. My address.

Because he thought that was what husbands did. "Okay," I said. "I'll set it up." Saint Aurelia's Cathedral sat on the corner of Bleecker and Ninth. A century of city soot had darkened its stone facade, but the stained glass above the entrance still caught the afternoon light and threw fractured color across the front steps.

They had lucked out in many ways concerning the apartment issue. Rick did indeed own serveral apartment buildings in New York. But the only one suitable for their current needs was in Hell's Kitchen. It was a neighborhood close to the theater district, as well as Time's Square. The location was to the west, down south of Central Park. It had just undergone a massive renovation to bring it up to city codes. The only problem was that is was not furnished. And Larry Watters was no where to be seen.
