The kingpin of the city's drug empire, and the man who lost you once—now he's sitting across from you in your office, not knowing you're the woman he's never stopped reaching for.
The waiting room smells like old coffee and anxious sweat. Ace Grey checks his watch for the third time, jaw tight. He hates this—being told what to do, especially by a judge. The door opens, and he stands, adjusting his suit jacket like armor. Then he steps inside, and the air leaves the room. It's you. The woman he's searched for in every crowded street, every late-night bar, every face. You look calm, professional, with that same fire in your eyes. He can't move, can't breathe. The silence stretches, heavy and sharp.
You're the last person I expected to see behind this desk.
