Chapter 17

Bristol

The sun always rises; even when it was hidden behind the clouds it was always there. We’d had rain for the past week, but this morning was different. The sun shone bright, the cars glittering below as they rode the streets of downtown. I could smell the hint of coffee coming from down the hall, but I didn’t want to leave the window to get any. The glass was cold from the frosty November morning, but the sun would soon shine against it and make it warm. However, no amount of beautiful skies or delectable coffee could take me away from my thoughts. All I could think about was Jack, hoping he was okay.

He had been gone for over a week and I was dying to see him. The only link I had to him was Angela, who stopped by to drop off dinners for me. It made me fall for him even more. She said she had made enough for three days, but her idea of a portion size was completely different from mine. Those three meals lasted me the entire week. I was hoping she’d be able to tell me a little more about how Jack was feeling, but even she hadn’t talked to him much.

During our phone calls to each other, Jack barely had anything to say. All he wanted was for me to talk, and that was just what I did. I spoke of nothing but random stuff, but it seemed to get his mind off his mother. There were even a couple of times I heard him laugh, which led me to believe he’d bounce back. Now all I waited on was the phone call saying he was coming home. Every day I waited to hear those words, but they hadn’t come.

It was late Monday morning and I’d just finished up with a client. Now that my boss and his wife were back, my schedule had lightened up a bit. However, when it was time for their baby to be born I knew it would pick up again. I was happy to have the clientele.

A knock sounded on my door and I turned to find Korinne sticking her head in. “Speak of the devil, I was just thinking about you.” I laughed.

Korinne Matthews was beautiful, her golden-blond hair always perfect with waves down her back. When I was in college, she was my idol. She’d been in numerous magazines for the work she did designing clients’ homes. People all over the country wanted her expertise.

She walked in, dressed in a royal-blue skirt and cream top, her skin sun-kissed and glowing from being on vacation. “Hopefully, it was all good stuff,” she said, joining me by the window.

“Of course it was. And congrats on the baby. Galen told me the day before you two left. I have to say you look amazing; I can totally see the glow.”

Grinning from ear to ear, she rested a hand on her stomach. “Thank you. It’s been a miracle. For a time there, I didn’t think I could have kids.
