The morning comes way too soon, and with it no more clarity than I had last night. However, my mother has a point. If I'm going to give it a shot with Charles, I have to give it a shot. This won't work if I'm only waiting for the moment when it all falls apart.

I see my parents off on their drive back early, dodging my mother's artful questions. I give my dad a long hug, thankful for his silent support. He took the news about Charles and I in stride. Frankly I think he's relieved I'm with anyone at all. It's been years. But no matter. I'm going to give this a chance, and the ripples of anxiety that have been constantly with me fall quiet. My mother was right--I always wait until I'm sure. I'm sure that I want this. No matter what happens.

Charles is already in the office when I get there, and we smile at each other. We haven't talked about it, but we both know it's best not to make this public to the company. He comes to the door as I'm settling in. "Morning."

"Good morning."

"Did your parents get off all right?"

I smile and roll my eyes, "Yes. They're driving back to the middle of nowhere as we speak."

"We should be the ones to surprise them next time."

"And be dragged around to farmer's markets and dinner at Red Lobster? No thank you."

He laughs. "Did Robert Jenkins call back last week?"

"I have left about one-point-five billion messages with his assistant, and the concierge at the hotel. He never returns."

I see his face darken, and I wonder what's so urgent that he needs to speak to Mr. Jenkins, but I don't think we're at the place where I can ask. "Can you try again? Make sure they know it's urgent."

"As soon as their office opens I will."

"Great." He flashes me a smile full of teeth that has nothing to do with work. "Thanks, Alyssa."

"No problem."

The rest of the morning in the office is quiet, and normal. I find it easier to focus on work than I did before when I was distracted by the sound of Charles' voice. I'm still distracted by it, but now I can live with it, because I know the promise it holds for after work.

It's early afternoon when I hear Charles shout, "YES!"

I jump, ruining the note I was writing. I go into the office and shut the door behind me. "What's going on?"

"Heely International officially offered. They're willing to finance three new hotels. We're moving to negotiations." He moves around the desk and grabs me, swinging me around and kissing me. "Charles that's amazing. Where will they be?"

"Don't know yet. That's all apart of the deal yet. The important thing is that they said yes. I was worried when they didn't get back to me last week."

"Didn't you know you had no reason to worry?" I ask. "I mean, I rocked giving that flash drive to the print shop. There was no way you could lose.
