First Class Fling: Santiago & Rosa

Love wasn’t on the menu…He served it anyway.

My family staged an intervention and called it a vacation.

Barcelona was supposed to fix me.

No work. No noise. No more sixteen-hour days ending with me in an empty bed, alone.

I agreed because fighting back took more energy than I had.

Then he sat beside me in first class.

A voice like Rioja, dark, smooth, slow to finish.

Eyes focused on mine when I should have looked away.

A stranger who felt like the beginning of something I forgot I wanted.

By the time the sun came up, I wanted more.

The moment I sat down, I knew exactly who she was.

Rosa Delgado. The chef. The legend. The woman behind the meals I still dream about.

She’s everything I imagined.

Worn out. Walled in. Still somehow shining.

I thought love was over for me.

Now I’m wondering if this flight is the beginning of a whole new chapter.

First Class Fling is a quick, addictive escape filled with heat, heart, and a connection too strong to leave behind at baggage claim.
