Heights Beyond the River

Summary

When Rowan came to pick me up for the concert, he introduced me to the woman in the passenger seat.

"Victoria, this is Elara. I've told you about her. You should think of her as a little sister."

Ah, so this was the one.

The woman who had every socialite in the city waiting for me to make a fool of myself.

She was wearing a cheap sheath dress, her delicate, pale face a mask of aloof pride. Still, she managed to force out the words, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

I gave her a friendly nod. "Hello."

Then I reached past her and pulled open the passenger side door.
