I'm standing on a ledge on the upper concourse two hours later when I spot her in the club below. It should have been impossible to pick her out among the crowd of blending bodies, but the way she moves is unmistakable.

Sophia is here. She's in Veil East grinding against some hack in a two-piece gray suit that looks like it came off the rack at a fire sale. She, on the other hand, looks exquisite as always. Her dress is black and strapless. She's straightened her hair, so it falls loosely down her back. She looks edgy, sexy and when she turns in my direction, I can see that her lips are their signature deep red.

I grip the metal rail in front of me, my fingers stiff from anger. She plays hard-to-fucking-get with me, yet she's dancing like she's ready to screw the guy she's with.

She said she didn't have a boyfriend which means she's either a bigger liar than I thought, or he's a random hook-up.

"Penny can't keep her mouth shut about you, Nick." Crew slaps me from behind on the back. "You can use the executive office if you want to entertain her. I'm not against doing a favor for a friend."

"I'm not interested," I say over my shoulder. "Thanks for the offer though."

He steps in place beside me, a newly filled tumbler of scotch in his hand. "Are you seeing someone?"

"No," I answer quickly before I stumble back. "I was interested in someone, but that was a fucking waste of my time."

"What's going on?" He turns so he's facing me, his green eyes scanning my face. "You look like shit. What the hell happened in the past twenty minutes since I went downstairs?"

I draw in a deep breath of air. "I met a woman recently. I thought there was something between us but she's dry humping some idiot on the dance floor."

"Where?" He arches his neck out to look at the packed dance floor.

"It doesn't matter," I snap. "She blew me off with an excuse about having plans. Now I know."

"You know shit." He motions for one of the security guards dressed in a black suit to approach us. "Point her out and we'll get her up here. If you want her away from the guy she's dancing with, I can make that happen."

"Don't bother." I wave the burly security guard away. "What's the point?"

"The point is you want her."

I laugh loudly. "Not if she's out looking for a quick fuck."

"Who knew you had standards?" He chuckles before he takes a drink. "Tonight is invitation only. Point her out. Maybe I know her."

I don't know how the hell he thinks he can recognize anyone from our vantage point. It's a goddamn miracle that I spotted Sophia from where we are. "She's brunette, long hair, black strapless dress. She's in the middle of the floor practically crawling all over a brown-haired guy in a cheap suit."

He doesn't even bother to glance in the direction I'm pointing. Instead he looks right at me.
