The guy across from her choked a bit on his smoke, drawling, "You scared off tonight." my date Quintessa snorted, "And you guys blasted away any chance of sleep fortonight." "Since we're both up, how about you chere continuing what has left?" Quintessa took another drag, crushed the cigarette on the balcony rail, and said, “Buddy, I only play for keeps. Not into second-hand thrills." With a wave of her hand, she turned to head back to bed. As she slid the padoor shut behind her, she heard the neighbor curse, "What the heck!" Quintessa's mood instantly lifted. Someone was frustrated; looked like they were not getting any sleep tonight. As soon as the first light of dawn peeked through, just after 6 AM, Violet was already at the door. Quintessa, with barely two hours of sleep, yawned and shuffled to the door with tousled hair. She opened the door, eyes half-closed, leaning lazily on the frame, "Violet, why so early?" Instead, she heard Violet chatting excitedly with someone else, "Great Snow Jackson, you live here too? What a coincidence." Blearily, Quintessa opened her eyes a sliver and spotted a familiar figure the thrill-seeker from the balcony last night.

We'd love it if you could look out for her in the future." "Sure thing." Quintessa was clad in a black nightgown, not prudish, not overly sexy, but the color set off her fair complexion.

He suddenly said, “Perfect timing. I'm shooting a music video for my new single and 17:07 haven't found a lead actress. She's got the right vibe. Think we could get her on board? Violet was ecstatic, “Really? To star in Great Snow Jackson's music video is a dream ctrue for us.”
It was a casual comment from Violet, a not expecting much, as her plan wasn't to steer Quintessa towards singing career. Even with Great Snow Jackson being a legend in the music industry, she didn't anticipate his actual help. She'd never expected such serendipity. It felt like walking on the street, starving, and having a pie fall right out of the sky onto her head.
Quintessa, still half-asleep, heard someone nearby saying, "Snow Jackson."

In a silent exchange, they both read the smessage- neither was a saint. The next second, they shared a knowing smile, silently agreeing to leave last night's events unspoken.
Quintessa looked at his outstretched hand and slowly extended hers, "Quintessa Young" The man in front of her wore large sunglasses and a snapback cap, leaving only a view of a sharp jawline and attractive lips. A trendy fellow.
He seemed to squeeze her hand a bit tighter than necessary, a deliberate stroke. Quintessa with thought to herself; damn, this guy was trying to hit on her.
