Ella looked down on the city from her balcony and watched the cars passing by as she spoke to her aunt. Explaining her activities for the day, she rolled her eyes as her aunt questioned her friendship with the Irish man who had mob ties. Of course, Ella knew that her aunt hardly paid any attention to things if she didn’t have a martini in hand, which makes this all the more easy than to explain that he indeed ran the mob that he had alleged ties to. But he’d done Ella a favor, one that she knew he didn’t have to do. At the time, he didn’t know her from anyone else. But she felt indebted to him nonetheless, and she was starting to enjoy being near him.
Though he didn’t seem to pay her any mind, she still went to visit every so often. Each time, she hoped he’d be a little more interested than the last time. Dressed in a cute pastel sundress and a cardigan, she made her way to the district his pub was located in. Her nude heels clacked on the sidewalk and into the pub. She shyly shut the door behind her, knowing that it was a little early for customers still and she didn’t want to alert the staff from their opening procedures.
“Good morning, Mr. Sullivan,” she said softly, walking toward the bar to sit down. “I was wondering if you were busy this morning.”
