He went back to Rose and found her in a café, an untouched cup of coffee in front of her.

She smiled up at him as he kissed her cheek and then sat at the table too.

“Did the meeting go well?” she asked.

He nodded. It had been better than he could have hoped.

“You’re really leaving?”

He nodded again.

“When?”

“In ten days.”

“Ten days?” The question came with a slow drawing in of breath that sounded like a sob. She was really upset.

“Hey.” He took her hand. “It doesn’t change anything. It’s just three months.” He was such an arse sometimes the way he’d say whatever to make things all right. He knew he’d do almost anything to make sure it was more than that. But he couldn’t stand seeing people upset, especially Rose.

It worked. Rose nodded and smiled through the tears. “Did Mr Chapman like the photos?” she asked.

Luke shrugged. “He never said.” He nodded at the cup on the table. “Are you drinking that coffee?”

Rose shook her head. “It’s gone cold.”

Luke stood up. “I need caffeine. I’ll get you a fresh one.”

He only had time to drink his coffee when he got the message that all the contracts were ready. This was getting more and more real. “I need to go back and pick up the paperwork,” he told Rose.

“Should I come with you?” she asked.

He thought about it for a moment. Oliver had met Tessa and knew they were engaged. It might be better if Rose didn’t meet him.

“No, wait here. It won’t take a moment. He’s leaving them at reception. When I get back, we’ll find something interesting to do then go out and celebrate.”

Luke took off back to the office. It was Oliver who met him. Luke found him standing at the desk talking to Tiffany. She tucked a pile of papers in an envelope, sealed it, then handed it over.

Oliver saw him come through the doors. “Luke perfect timing. I know this is all a bit hurried, but can you get everyone to sign the papers ASAP?”

“I can do that. When do you want them?”

“Tomorrow would be good. Email copies first, then post the paper ones back. That should keep us covered.” He gave the envelope to Luke.

“Okay.” He could swing that. He’d go back to Paeroa and get Isaac and Cole to sign tonight. Since it looked for real now, he was going to have to break the news to his parents too, then in the morning drive over to Hamilton and catch Noah and Adam before they headed off to class, or whatever you did when you were doing a master’s degree. That would give the dust time to settle before he got back.
