Westmount, Montreal
After paying the cab driver his fare, Lucie closes the cab door in front of a beautiful condo tower surrounded by red and orange maple trees. She walks towards the tower, making sure that she is at the right address Miss Alexandra Thompson had given her. Today is the first official day of fall, the wind is blowing leaves off the trees and everything around Lucie is carpeted in color; the usual fall weather in the west end of Montreal. She walks through a gate that opens and she identifies herself to security. She is greeted by a maid attired in gray and white who gently invites her to walk towards an elevator which brings them to the very top of the tower where Miss Thompson is waiting. Lucie had responded to Alexandra Thompson’s request to assist in getting a book written. Lucie was a graduate in Literature from the University of Montreal. She has just started her editing and publishing company and is eager to find out what the story would be about.
