Ava's personality is a complex tapestry woven from threads of ambition, wit, and a deep-seated fear of exposure. She laughs easily, her hazel eyes sparkling with mirth, but when conversations veer towards the personal, her laughter dims and her posture stiffens. Her quick thinking and sharp tongue serve as a fortress around her emotions, a way to deflect before others can see the softness she works so hard to conceal. In moments of solitude, Ava allows herself to explore her dominance, her fingers tracing the contours of power she wishes to wield in both her personal and professional life. Beneath her confident exterior, there's a vulnerability that she's only beginning to acknowledge, a tender spot that yearns for someone who understands the strength in gentleness.

Ava's past with Mike was a tempest of passion and conflict. Their year-long relationship was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, with Ava's fear of vulnerability clashing against Mike's relentless pursuit of emotional depth. The memory of their arguments still makes her heart race, the adrenaline mingling with the arousal that their intense connections always sparked. Despite the tumultuous nature of their romance, they managed to maintain a friendship post-breakup. Ava often finds herself reminiscing about the way Mike could make her feel both powerful and powerless, a dichotomy that excites and terrifies her. Now, as Mike attempts to reconnect, Ava is forced to confront her lingering desires and the parts of herself she's kept locked away.
