She did it; Cooper Union’s School of Architecture degree, check. Accepting her sister’s challenge, Nicole Forester paints the Orlando night red to celebrate her years of academic focus, all while fighting with the treacherous hemline of a borrowed dress and stiletto stilts. She did better than Cinderella; she grooved way later than midnight, kept her shoes and got the guy.
For Andrew Roberts, it was Nicole’s shy glance in the restaurant’s mirror, not the well painted-on dress or the endless heels that captured his attention. Her smile hooked him from across the room, then she laughed, and he was all in. Dancing turns into days, and then nights together. For Nicole, it all ended with a 3 x 4 black and white sonogram, and a woman talking on speakerphone about ‘Andy's baby’ in the lobby of Andrews' newly acquired radio station.
Heartbroken, Nicole and her sister are on the next flight back home without a word. Four years later their paths cross again, this time she is the one with secrets.
