Chapter V

The night of the concert, Brianna paced back and forth outside The Avery Fisher Hall. It was a gorgeous mid-spring night in New York City, and the entrance of the venue was buzzing with men in formal tuxedos and women in elegant evening gowns.

Brianna peered inside every limousine and taxi that pulled in front of the theater, hoping Abby would be inside one of them. The original plan was for Brianna to pick Abby up at the apartment she shared with Kyle. But the day before, Abby called Brianna and told her it would be better if they met at the theater instead. Abby did not want to say why she didn’t want Brianna to pick her up at her apartment, but Brianna had a suspicion Kyle had something to do with it.

Almost an hour later, everyone was inside the theater, and there was still no sign of Abby. Abby had texted Brianna earlier telling her the taxi she was in had gotten caught behind a messy accident and that’s why she was so late. Brianna looked at the time on her phone.

The heavy bangs that normally covered Abby’s forehead had been combed back and were being held in place by shiny, silver pins that matched her earrings and the jeweled bust of her gown. The hairstyle made Abby look a couple of years older than she was. Brianna no longer wanted to go in and listen to the orchestra play songs she did not understand or care for. Instead, she wanted to spend the night staring at the angel with the piercing brown eyes standing in front of her.

“I thought you weren’t coming. I was about to send a search and rescue team for you,” Brianna joked.

“I’m so sorry. The traffic in New York City is normally pretty bad on a Saturday night. Add an accident to that and well…,” Abby remarked as she gazed up at the woman who had been keeping her up at night questioning her identity. As her eyes rolled down the elegant, mermaid-styled satin gown that hung perfectly over Brianna’s exquisite curves, Abby came to the conclusion that it should be illegal for someone to be that attractive.
