Drew felt anxious that Alexa might bail on him. Alexa went out to get a new dress with her best friend Maddie, who also just happened to be a stylist. Meanwhile, Drew ran into Josh and told him he was bringing his new girlfriend to the wedding.

Her sister was surprised that Alexa, who she thought was a prude, had actually agreed to go out with a stranger.

Alexa went to see her sister and told her about Drew. The narrator switched to Drew’s point-of-view, and Drew decided to ask Alexa, who he thought was attractive and charming, to go to the wedding with him. Alexa and Drew chatted and flirted until the elevator started up, and then they went their separate ways. Before she arrived at Olivia’s floor, the hotel suffered a power-outage, and Alexa found herself stuck inside with an incredibly attractive doctor, Drew, who was staying at the hotel because he was a groomsman in his ex-girlfriend Molly’s wedding to his former friend Josh. However, she had never been lucky in love until she stepped into the Fairmont hotel elevator to meet her sister, Olivia, who had just made partner at her law firm. She loved her job, her home, her family, and her friends. A plus-size black woman in her 20s who works as the mayor’s chief-of-staff, Alexa had a fabulous life. The third-person narrator first introduced the reader to Alexa Monroe.
