“I was starting to wonder whether enough is ever enough for someone like me.
Tatiana and Alice came knocking on my door a few days after the night at the penthouse –Tatiana was ostensibly helping Alice look at flats for sale in my area. Caught off guard, I found myself unable to refuse their invitation to go out.
