So this story had me enthralled from word go I was sucked in and every twist and turn that happened had me on the edge of my seat!!! Your descriptions of things had me wanting to be there! Especially this one!

"The opulence of the Lotte New York Palace Hotel was quite grand. A massive master staircase was off to their right, while a tall monolith shaped the area on the left. Everything was gilt inlay; gold was infused into the decorative banisters, the main chandelier and even threaded through the marble floor." I could picture the rooms as they moved through the hotel.

I couldn't put the fic down and when I got to the end I wanted it to continue to see more of their relationship build and flourish. This whole closing paragraphs were absolutely beautiful

(“I just don’t want you to be hurt anymore.”
She sighed. “Everyone and everything will eventually hurt you. You just have to find the ones worth the suffering.”
He tilted her chin until their lips met. “And am I worth that suffering?”
“Ask me next week, when I don’t ache all over.”
He laughed. “I’ll remember to do that.”)

Well done :)

*dances* I'm glad you enjoyed it, Slytheringal!

The descriptions are probably what pushed me way beyond the word limit, but every time I tried to cut something, the story lost focus and fell apart.

Google the Lotte hotel in NYC - my descriptions do nothing to compare to the splendor of the place!

Again, I'm thrilled you liked the story. Thank you!
