Rules Don't Stop Me
New York's streets always look beautiful when it rains. Long rivulets of rain make their way down the window. And, in a bedroom, in a typical New York high-rise apartment, Connie Rubirosa stares out the window with a heavy heart.
She feels the bed shift, and feels Mike's warmth next to her. She grapples desperately with wanting to move away, and staying in his arms.
Connie knows they just fit. It's a terrifying, yet exciting thought.
"Connie." His sleep-tinged voice tickles the hair on the back of her neck.
She turns over, presses her lips to his forehead.
Leaving can wait. For now.
