Chapter 29

VOLUME TWO: AN UPTOWN GIRL AND A COWBOY

Maybe being passed over for the coveted promotion of Sales Manager at PowerUP PR firm was the best thing that would ever happen to her.

Samantha William's suitcases sat by the door. A horn blasted outside Traveston Towers, one of New York's modern apartment complexes, announcing the cabbie's arrival. She took one last look around what she'd called home for the past four years, marveling at the bright, clear light shining through the large windows. Dust motes drifted over the few remaining packing boxes stacked against a wall. The rays reflected off the protective glass in a picture frame, which held a picture of her late parents, left standing alone on the mantle, a reminder of the immense upcoming change in her life.

She hurried over to wrap up the frame and shoved it into her oversize carryon. The taxi honked again.

Time to go. There was no time to change out of her work suit or torturous heels after an early morning meeting at the office.
