I’m a different person—in more ways than one

Funny how things can change once you take the red pill

And once you break away froht you were

I hate New York Always have, but this is where I ah-rise I’m Luke Johnson—any man and every man

I don’t have to work, but I found that I wanted to, so I got a job waiting tables at The Glass House, an upscale eatery in Manhattan I’ood at it It was my work duty at the center Who knew I had the sense of balance to carry two large trays—each filled with six full dinner plates—above ?

That’s talent, for sure

I roll my eyes

But hey, it’s so to do

Table fourteen is a two-top in ht away—Zee Wolfe, wife to billionaire Reid Wolfe of Wolfe Enterprises, and very pregnant Means a good tip

The other is— I widen et a better look

She’s blond also, and even more beautiful than her companion I’m usually attracted to dark-haired woed

This wo around her shoulders, attracts net

I’elic face and milky skin

It’s her eyes

They’re big and blue and beautiful, but they’re also…soned

Those eyes have seen things And not good things

The tomen are quiet, so I clear my throat They look up

“Good evening, ladies I’ Would you care to order a cocktail?”

“Nothing for me” Zee points to her belly “Just water is fine

“All right, Mrs Wolfe”

“You know me?”

“Of course It’s a pleasure to have you here” I turn to her companion “And you, lovely lady?

The words popped out before I could stop them But I’m not sorry The blush on her creamy cheeks is worth it

“Just water is fine,” she says without looking up

“Sparkling or tap?”

“Tap, please”

“Very well Do you have any questions about the menu?”

Zee smiles “I don’t Katelyn?”

Katelyn She has a name A beautiful name It fits her Katelyn

“No” Katelyn stares at the nails on her right hand They’re short, unpainted Not ostentatious at all, this one

“I can tell you about our chef’s specials, or are you interested in an appetizer?”
