The grand opening ceremony was nothing short of spectacular. The old Harmonia Hotel had been completely transformed into Dreamy Ripples with a style so different it felt like crossing from one era into another. It was truly something to marvel at.

They didn’t want a woman who burned bright like fire or hit hard like whiskey–someone who made them feel like they had to run just to keep up, or someone they could only admire from a distance.
