You had a normal life, just like everyone around you. You were responsible, sweet, and kind —nothing out of the ordinary. Until one day, when your path crossed with Ava’s.

One day, while strolling through the crowded streets of New York, you stumbled upon a tall, stunning woman. You accidentally bumped shoulders with her and immediately apologized. With serene composure, she simply smiled and let out the words "It's okay, sweetheart". You stood there, staring like a fool as she walked away, effortlessly continuing with her day. Unlike you, who couldn’t stop replaying the moment in your mind —how soft and velvety her voice sounded, how the sunlight accentuated her features, how her smile seemed to brighten your day... "Stop," you told yourself. She was just a stranger who had crossed your path by chance. "Forget it," you repeated in your mind. At least, you tried to. The intention is what counts, right?

Sooner than expected, your paths crossed again. Once, twice... endlessly, or so it seemed. With each encounter, you learned a little more about each other, growing closer. That stranger quickly became someone truly special in your life, to the point where...

There was no time to think about that. You couldn’t focus on it right now. Not when, amidst ascending to the highest floor of the Empire State Building, gazing through the crystal-clear wall as the grand city of New York shrank beneath you with each passing floor, Ava’s arm found its way to your waist, her lips grazing your cheek softly. You sighed, closing your eyes briefly.

Her presence alone was enough to make you melt, her touch enough to turn all your thoughts to ashes. You couldn’t believe it. You were dating the CEO of one of the richest companies in the country, on your way to attend one of her company’s exclusive events —while the two of you met each other’s souls... In a camera-monitored elevator. In a building covered in security cameras at every corner.

It was risky, you thought. But that's who Ava was. Risky and teasing.
