Chapter Seven

~Maddie~

Normally Monday was the worst. But today, I couldn’t keep the smile off my face all day. All I could think about was Boone.

Boone. What a great name. So masculine and different. Like him. I was totally in love with him, and I was pretty sure he was falling for me, too. I just didn’t know how life could be any better, really.

“Hey, Maddie,” Tonya said, bringing my thoughts back to work. “Bob wants to see you.”

Bob was the branch manager and I don’t think I’d spoken to him more than a handful of times since I’d started.

“Okay,” I said, standing up and smoothing my skirt down. “Do you know what about?”

She just shrugged but wouldn’t meet my gaze. Uh-oh. That couldn’t be good.

I took a deep breath and straightened my posture as I walked out of the office and through the bank toward Bob’s. I pretended not to notice the way no one was looking at me, but dread was creeping in hard and fast.

“Hey Maddie,” Bob said when I knocked on his open door. “Come on in.” He stood up and walked around his desk, closing the door behind me as I sat down.

Fuck.

“You’ve been doing a great job,” he said, sitting back down across from me. “Your collection rate is fantastic and the customers love you.” He cleared his throat and looked down at his blotter, straightening his tie. “So, I just want you to know that this his nothing to do with your job performance.

Fuck!

“Am I getting fired?” I asked, glad that my voice was calm and didn’t betray the panic that was exploding in my head.

“Laid off,” he corrected, as if that was really any better. “It’s a budget thing. I’m sorry.” He slid an envelope across the desk toward me. “I was able to get you a decent severance package. And of course, I’ll provide a great reference for you when you find something new.”

I took the envelope and stared at it in my hands. They were only trembling slightly, and with a deep breath, they fell steady again.

“I really am sorry,” he said.

When I looked back up at him, he did look apologetic. But that didn’t really help me. I nodded, not trusting that my voice would continue to hide my distress. I stood up and shook his hand, then walked back to my office to get my stuff, head held high so no one knew that I was about ten seconds from crying…or barfing.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

“You knew?” I asked Tonya as she flung herself into my arms the second I stepped into our shared space.

“He told me right before I came to get you. Baby, I’m so sorry.”

“Yeah, sorry seems to be the word of the day,” I said with a sigh. “I’d better clear out.”

“Promise me you’ll call me,” she said, rubbing her hands up and down my arms for a second before letting me go. “We’ll get drinks and figure out your next move.”

“Yeah,” I said, nodding. “Definitely.”

I packed
