Lunch had been an unexpected surprise, Julie thought as she climbed into her car at the end of the day. Tiffany had splurged for a deli sandwich, which hands down did beat the sandwich she’d brought, but then they toured a lovely shoe store.

Julie was an expert at window shopping and had been most of her life. Tiffany, on the other hand, was an impulse buyer. That had netted her a pair of scarlet suede Stuart Weitzman Mae platform heels. No doubt Tiffany had a stunning dress to match.

She had splurged too, Julie thought. Chuck had seen to it that she got her own key to the construction trailer and she bought a nice keychain with a sparkly pink high heel shoe on it. She figured it was the little victories.

As she pulled out of the parking lot, she looked at the little sticky note she’d placed on the dashboard with Spencer’s address on it. It was downtown. And it was the first time she’d ever followed directions somewhere that had the word ‘penthouse’ in the address.

Swallowing down whatever fear seemed to be rising, she drove back into Nashville to have dinner in the penthouse. But, she reminded herself she’d be sleeping in her own bed. She owed herself that bit of respect, and Spencer too.

When she pulled up to the address and looked up, she wondered what it would be like to live in a building that overlooked the streets of Nashville.

Even though Spencer dressed nicely, drove a beautiful BMW, and hadn’t yet cleared three decades on the earth, she couldn’t begin to imagine what he was worth. She didn’t look at him like that, but she couldn’t help but wonder when she knew he lived at the top of the enormous building in front of her.

She parked her outdated car in the visitors lot and hurried into the lobby of the building which was a mix of both office space and residential.

A security guard was positioned near the elevators. She supposed that after work hours only residents could get upstairs. He gave her a nod and she pushed the button to call the elevator.

When one opened, people moved off and she and one other man climbed on.

He pushed his button on the twentieth floor. “Which one for you?”

His British accent gave her chills.

“Top floor, please.”

He pushed the button and narrowed his eyes. “You are friends with Tiffany?”

Julie nodded.

“Nice apartment. Clark,” he said holding his hand out to shake hers.

“Julie.”

“Ah, you are the woman Spencer Benson dumped her for.” He laughed, but Julie didn’t find humor in the situation.

“I’m not…”

“I am joking.” The elevator slowed to the twentieth floor and the door opened. “Tell Tiffany hello for me. And if things do not work out for you and the builder,” he gave a shrug, “look me up.” He winked as the door closed.

Julie winced. These were the kind of men that Tiffany preferred? No wonder she kept Spencer on a leash.

Then, as the door opened to the top floor, she thought that was disgusting too.
