SYLVIE
As the elevator passes each floor, a small ping echoes from the speaker
overhead. It’s not an obnoxious sound, and I surprisingly find it quite
pleasant. It reminds me of a toy I had as a small child, a music box my
grandmother gave me one year for Christmas. I don’t remember much about
her, she passed away when I was seven, but I will never forget her kindness
amongst the chaos of our family home. But those memories are for another
time.
I wake up my phone screen to check the text thread from earlier one more
time. The time we’re meeting, the address of the hotel, along with the room
number—the penthouse—bring me back to the present and why I’m here.
Him.

I’ll be ready for you.
One slightly louder ping announces the arrival at my destination, so I tuck
my phone into my clutch as the cart comes to a stop and the doors slide open.
I can’t help but let out a small whistle as I take in the view before me.
Everything looks so small and quiet from up this high, and I stare at it for a
little too long. It’s only when the doors start sliding shut that I snap out of it
and reach my arm out to stop them, then step out into the lavish suite.
From the foyer, I take in the wide-open room before me. Most of the
overhead lights are off, but lamps and hidden mood lighting give the room an
ethereal glow. You can tell a lot of planning went into where every single
light is placed because even the hidden ones serve a purpose of illuminating
the room in just the right way.
An expansive kitchen done in dark wood and chrome takes up the width of
the space to the right. A dining area with a live edge wood table that looks
like it could seat twenty is centered in the room below a chandelier that is
only slightly smaller than my car. The floor to ceiling windows frame the
whole exterior wall, creating the illusion of a picture showing the lights of
Chicago shimmering above the dark inkiness of Lake Michigan that is many
floors below. The Windy City really is a marvel. I wouldn’t want to live
anywhere else.
Stepping farther into the open space, I take in the living room to my left.
There are couches and lounge chairs that look so soft, I can imagine sinking
into them and never wanting to leave.
A light glow flowing from around the edges of a door left ajar, just to the
right of the massive stone fireplace, grabs my attention like a beacon. It calls
out like a siren, almost taunting me with whatever is behind the wood panel.
Taking a deep breath, I concentrate all my energy on centering my body
and mind, focusing on why I’m here tonight. Letting the real me slip back just
a bit, but never letting her go too far, I allow my alter ego to come forward
and shine. It’s her time to play.
Let’s get to work.
