CHAPTER 17 – INDIGO

The honor of your presence is requested at an exclusive event,

as a guest of Mr. Dante Bianchi,

Friday, the twenty-fifth of September, at six o’clock in the evening.

Casa di Rosso

Sunset Harbor, North Carolina

A nervous flutter of excitement swirled in my belly and dipped down again. I’d looked at the thick invitation on the silver card several times. And I fingered it now before tucking it back into my clutch.

The invitation arrived three days ago, and I’d been on pins and needles with anticipation and excitement since then. He’d said that it was a semi-formal event and he’d sent a car for me. A Rolls Royce, no less.

I’d chosen a black three-quarter sleeve dress with a pencil skirt. The rouching of the dress accented my curves, and the gold and black woven belt at my waist gave me a sleeker look. The deep V-cut of my dress showed off my cleavage. I’d paired the dress with black and gold stilettos and gold accessories.

It had been some time since I’d heard from Dante, and while I hadn’t given up hope, I knew he was repaying me for putting him on hold the two weeks that I had.

Almost a month had passed since the last time that I saw him, and I was eager.

As I rolled along the streets past the harbor with its twinkling lights from the houseboats that were docked there, hearing the sounds of the ships heading out, and smelling the scent of the ocean breeze blowing in, I relaxed against the seat and closed my eyes.

I loved Sunset Harbor more than any place in the world that I’d traveled to. Not just because it was home, but our small town with its slow, sweet Southern charm was the friendliest place I’d ever been. People waved, welcoming you with open arms, friendly chatter, and a good meal with a glass of iced tea.

Alternatively, Sunset Harbor held its share of secrets, too, like Prestige.

A smirk settled onto my lips; I wonder if it hadn’t been for the club if I would have met Dante. After all, that’s where Maeve met him.

As the Rolls Royce sped through town and headed into the hills, I couldn’t help but recall the thought I’d had when I’d first went to Dante’s community with Maeve for the benefit dinner. The houses that sat on a hill almost seemed like a king’s castle looking down on his kingdom.

He and the other residents on the hill were royalty in an enclave of their creation, sheltered from the problems of the regular world. They didn’t have to worry about how they would pay their mortgages or car notes. They didn’t worry whether their children would earn a scholarship to pay their way through college.

The problems that people like Dante and his neighbors had were problems that I couldn’t comprehend.

But his invitation to whatever this event was would allow me to pretend to be one of them for just one evening.

I felt like a princess as we continued to climb the hill, being led away from my everyday life into a fairytale land.
