Her Return: His Regret
It rises smoothly, silently, the city falling away below.
When the doors open, there he is.
Ronan stands near the railing, backlit by the glittering skyline. Black suit, no tie, shirt open at the throat. Champagne already poured. White roses on the table. The Brooklyn Bridge glowing gold behind him like a promise.
His eyes find mine.
They light up—bright, hungry, hopeful, almost boyish.
I feel the power coil in my chest.
And the desire—sharp, insistent, undeniable.
I walk toward him slowly, hips swaying, letting him watch every step.
