Chapter 143: The View Makes it Worth It

"Have I told you how much I love the gold heels, Aspen?" I ask as we stand on the packed elevator together.

She sticks her foot out and twist. "Thanks."

Next time I get to dress up, I'm going with heels. Aspen's at least three inches taller with the gold ones. My closet is sparse when it comes to high shoes because Cody hated it when I stood over him. I bet with a pair of stilettos I'd barely pass Ryland's chin. There's a whole new world of fashion available to me.

We step off the elevator and even at the late hour The View is full of people. Most stand around the large open windows, but a few mingle in the middle by the circular bar with leather chairs.

"Wow, we'll never find a place to sit, Aspen." Heels or not my feet are tired.

She practically skips off the elevator. I guess the shoes aren't bothering her after all. "Don't worry, Finn had a table reserved."

"Damn it." Ryland's curse is quiet, but he's close enough I hear it.
