I was barely nineteen years old when my father told me that he had set up a date for a meeting with the Cross family's eldest son, Jordan.
At the time, I was so focused on making it through my first year of college that I hadn't even thought about the possibility of a boyfriend - no matter how much Hannah tried to set me up with blind dates. So, when my father brought it up, I didn't even know how to respond.
Eager to please him as I was then, I made the biggest mistake of my life in his personal study at his manor that day: I agreed to meet Jordan.
When we first met, it was at the restaurant of Amber City's best hotel, Hotel Quartz, with both our fathers.
