stage. Servers walked around with trays of champagne flutes and mini appetizers. A group of businessmen made
a beeline for Alexander, wanting to discuss potentially working for his company.
“This is my date and colleague, Olivia,” Alexander said, introducing
me.

greeting but then turned back to Alexander to continue to talk to him.
| scanned the crowd, hoping that | saw a familiar face. My heart lifted in relief when | saw my friend Rose smile
and wave atfrom across the room.
“| see someone | know,” | muttered to Alexander. “I'll leave you here to talk business.”
To my surprise, as soon as | began walking toward Rose, Alexander said goodbye to the man and started to
follow me. He quickened his pace to keep up with me.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Alexander demanded in a loud voice, catching the attention of the other guests.

Felipe,” he said.

We chatted for a while. The band increased their volume, and guests kept piling into the hall. Even though it was
a big space, since I'd been trapped in the private room earlier today, | began to feel slightly claustrophobic. Rose
seemed to notice and grabbed two champagne glasses off of a passing tray and handedthe cool glass.

Lights twinkled below us as | breathed in the cool air. | gripped the stone railing and allowed the sharp wind to
