I got her fired.

Okay, so Id had a bad day, but theres nothing innocent about Ally Morales. Maybe her colourful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazines offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by her brown eyes and sharp tongue.

Shes working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason. And Im going to fix it all. Dont accuse me of caring. Shes nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.

Ally:
Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.
