“Excuse me?” Alexandra thought she must have heard him wrong. “I thought you asked me to remove my bra.”

As usual, Mr. Silver Tongue had an answer. “I want to push your bra out the taillight hole and use it as a flag.”
“Couldn’t we use your shirt?”
“Which article of clothing do you think will draw more attention?”

The two-hundred-story bank building overlooking the St. John’s River in downtown Jacksonville, Florida, would boast majestic views of several bridges, the thriving waterfront and a good part of the bustling city. Best of all, it would be the first new construction project this decade to be added to Jacksonville’s elegant skyline by a female architect.
