Side by side they leaned against the wall of the elevator like old pals as they waited for it to arrive at its top most destination. Owen stared ahead, aware of her gaze on his profile. His eyebrows rose in surprise for a moment before his face relaxed into an easy smile when Julianna revealed when she had learned to drive a manual.
“I could see that.” He said somewhat more fondly than he meant to. As if the idea of her origins on a quaint apple orchard explained something that had been previously unanswered about her character. “You did well.” He complimented her skill. He had noticed her smooth way of shifting.
The elevator floated to a stop and the doors opened directly into a foyer of sorts before the penthouse doors.
“This is me.” He gestured for her to leave the elevator. Playing the role for gentleman, he placed his hand along the open elevator door as if to ensure it wouldn’t close on her.
Dim lights in the foyer clicked on upon the opening of the elevator, a small amenity in amongst many more impressive ‘smart technology’ features. He unlocked the door and pushed it open. There were lights on timers that had settings to accommodate the eyes in the late hour.
Owen led her through the entryway into his three bedroom home. The entryway opened into a luxurious open floor plan sparsely furnished in a minimalist style. He moved directly to the sliding glass doors off the living room which opened to a terrace with an unobstructed view of the city. The terrace was fitted with a pool, hot tub, an outdoor bar, and even landscaping. He slid the glass open to let in the breeze and turned back towards her.
“Make yourself at home.” He moved back through the house towards the kitchen. Though impressive and high tech, the home certainly wasn’t warm. The sparse furnishings and wood flooring lent itself to echoing. There was a formality in everything including a stately grand piano dominated a corner of the formal living room.
Owen felt an almost constant need to fill the same with music to dampen the echo. He paused on his route to the alcohol to pick up a remote from a table in the living room. He pressed a button and the music of Frank Sinatra filled the room. Something he’d been listening to in a moment of nostalgia and sadness. He shrugged and turned the volume down before handing the remote off to Juliana for her to play with the music as she saw fit.
He moved off again towards the kitchen, asking over his shoulder, “What can I get for you?”

Bitch, I'm limited edition.
