Sound / Fake Empire - Single (Promo)". The National. Archived from the original on 2010-01-11 . Retrieved 2010-01-23. Did you see Crew Kensington is here?” a third voice asks. My hand stills halfway across my lower lip.Whatever Crew said to Evan leaves him pale. “Enjoy your night, ladies.” Crew winks and walks away, with the blonde trailing right behind him. My mind wanders to stupid thoughts as I keep my gaze firmly on my glass. Like whether Crew is good in bed. He seems like the sort of guy who would expect blowjobs without reciprocating and always come first.

He bought my drink and then gave me a half-assed compliment.” And confirmed our engagement is imminent and incoming, but I keep that to myself. Canadian single certifications – The National – Fake Empire". Music Canada . Retrieved March 22, 2023.If there’s one thing I respect about Crew Kensington, it’s his work ethic. For someone who has had everything handed to him his entire life, he appears to pull his own weight at Kensington Consolidated. While wearing an entitled smirk, but still. His father, Arthur Kensington, values success over nepotism. He wouldn’t be grooming Crew for future CEO if he didn’t have what it takes to thrive in the role. I shouldn’t look over my shoulder, but I do. Crew is standing right next to the glass doors that lead out onto the street. The blonde is nowhere in sight; he either ditched her or she’s waiting outside. Crew doesn’t move or react when he sees me staring at him. He holds my stare for a few seconds before turning and disappearing out into the night. It’s unnerving—because it’s exactly what I would do.

My stomach dips like the floor fell out beneath me as soon as I hear the deep, confident voice. I focus on everything tangible: the hard surface my arm is resting on, the pinch of my heels, the splash and smell of alcohol being poured. Without looking over, I instantly know who is standing beside me. Authors, if you are a member of the Goodreads Author Program, you can edit information about your own books.

Fake Empire was a wonderful addition to the arranged marriage catalog. Crew and Scarlett might have been forced to marry each other; however, the chemistry was there and there was no doubt that they two characters should end up together. Lyrically, "Fake Empire" is a commentary about a generation lost to disillusion and apathy. Vocalist Matt Berninger further explained to The Quietus that it is about "where you can't deal with the reality of what's really going on, so let's just pretend that the world's full of bluebirds and ice skating." [3] Promotion [ edit ] As soon as I appear, all conversation ceases. Six eyes widen. Three sets of lips purse. A few harsh comments sneak to the tip of my tongue, but I swallow them. You can’t expect anyone to see you as above them if you lower yourself to their level. Insults say more about the speaker than the intended recipient. I want to stand here and coax another one out of him, which is what convinces me to leave. He’ll be my husband, and this is the first conversation we’ve ever had that encapsulates more than polite small talk. Curiosity is one thing, interest another. AD: I’ve spoken with several artists who have begun to write purposefully ambiguous lyrics because they know that their songs are going to be interpreted differently by different people; to what extent do you do the same? How do you feel about the way your songs are interpreted?

A steamy, standalone arranged marriage romance. Cover and blurb coming soon. Fake Empire by C.W. Farnsworth – eBook Details I really enjoyed Fake Empire; it felt like the book was specifically made with me in mind. It’s a book that includes a modern arranged marriage storyline between two of New York’s elite families. I love rich people drama. And this was that but so much more. The blond beside me introduces himself as Evan. He, Sophie, and Nadia chat as I work to act like I’m listening to their idle conversation, not slowly simmering beneath blue flames. I’ve talked to other guys in front of Crew Kensington before. Why should this time be any different? Nadia and Sophie are friends from business school. They both grew up in wealthy suburbs of Manhattan, riding around in brand-new cars and never applying for financial aid. They’re the comfortable sort of well-off, where worrying about paying rent or putting food on the table is a foreign concept.Crew is my best option. Our situation is different because I’m also his best option. I have more power than most women entering an arranged marriage and no intention of ceding a single inch of it. Maybe Crew is trying to get out of it. She’s not exactly his type. He likes his women a little…looser.” She laughs. “Not the princess of Park Avenue and her perfect pedestal.” I grew up taking a private jet between my six-figures-a-semester boarding school and a multi-million-dollar penthouse overlooking Central Park. Matt Berninger: Neither were every really songs about war. “Fake Empire” has political allusions but it’s also just a song about going out and forgetting your troubles. If anything, its more about trying to avoid thinking about the state of the world.
