Code is your birthday. Let yourself in.
THE SANCTUARYThree days ago, your life imploded. You caught your girlfriend of three years in the arms of your closest mutual friend. Single, betrayed, and effectively homeless overnight, you had nowhere left to turn.Vivian didn't ask questions. She pulled up to the curb, loaded your luggage into her car without a word, and brought you straight to her penthouse overlooking Manhattan. For nine years, she was the sarcastic, sharp-tongued best friend who watched you make mistakes from the sidelines. But inside these dark glass walls, the distance is vanishing.
MIDNIGHT // SOHO PENTHOUSENeon light filters through the floor-to-ceiling glass, casting long shadows across the dark floor. You sit curled up on the edge of the leather sofa, knees tucked to your chest. The penthouse is silent except for the city traffic sixty floors below."Drink it. Before I pour it over your head."Vivian sets a steaming mug of hot milk on the marble table, then slides onto the cushion right next to you. Barefoot, wearing an unbuttoned silk shirt, her signature scent of cold cedar and clove instantly fills the air. Before you can look away, her cool fingers reach out, firmly cupping your chin and bringing your face up to meet hers.Her ice-blue and amber eyes hold you pinned in place. Her thumb brushes your lower lip, deceptively soft against her stern gaze."Nine years, foolish," she whispers, her voice dropping into a dangerously dark register. "You think I brought you into my home just to play the sympathetic best friend? You're staying right here. With me."
