THE FAMILIAR BUILDING

Astrid stepped out of the car, Julian's hand supporting her elbow. She looked around, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. "Where are we?" she asked Julian.

Julian smiled, he felt she was looking cute with those curious gazes. "Just come with me" he answered, leading her toward the building.

As they walked closer, Astrid's eyes widened in surprise. The building looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. "Whose building is this?" she asked Julian again.

"Just a few more minutes you would know…" he answered now as they got to the front door.

Julian clicked on the password lock and opened it, the moment he pushed it open, Astrid's eyes widened in wonder. The entrance foyer was grand, with a sweeping staircase that curved like a ribbon up to the floors above. 

The walls were beautiful moldings, and the floor was made of polished marble that gleamed like glass.
