Chapter 13: Empty Room
The Piedmont Place is high-class all the way. A Victorian mansion rises into the night, welcoming its uppercrust guests on a palatial estate with The Piedmont Private Club nearby. Floor to ceiling windows glow with yellow-white light being produced by overhead crystal chandeliers. An open bar offers any type of drink I want. There’s a brunette bartender with Brad Pitt looks behind his bar. I swear I’ve dated the guy once or twice in the past, but I just can’t remember his name. Oil paintings by city artists glamorize the walls. Some of the canvases sit on easles throughout the downstairs rooms, showcasing a variety of themes: mothers and daughters, love, giant pink hearts, breast cancer, healing, winter, operations, and survival.
