To my best friend Erik Ahad,

"If you could hear me I would say our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch..."
- Remember me.

You left your mark on us all
and with it, we'll carry your memory with us
Forever & Always.

Rest in eternal glory, my brother.

Dear Janet,

The Erik you'll find here is a reflection of how I knew him best and loved him most. He was clever and kind, charming and mischievous. He was hilarious, creatively brilliant, and wore his heart on his sleeve. He was a gentleman—generous, thoughtful, and the most loyal and true friend I ever had. There will never be another person alive who could hold a flame to him.

Most of all, Erik was a dreamer.

I wrote this story to give Erik the life he deserved—a life where he could fully pursue his passions for music production, real estate, and the culinary arts, just as we envisioned during our college days. The Studio, Max Lounge, Hips & Hearts, and Novela are reflections of the dreams we shared when Erik, Sam, Darren, and I promoted and planned events together. And then there's Evie—she embodies the kind of love story that was meant for Erik. She's the firecracker who could have matched his energy, passion, and drive, the kind of woman who would have captivated him completely. Through these pages, Erik's spirit thrives in the world we always imagined, and with Evie, I've given him the love he was destined for.

This one is for you, and I hope you find joy, comfort, and perhaps a bit of healing in the world I've created for him—a world where he lives on, shining as brightly as he did in life, our angel of love and mischief.

With love,

Christoph
