Thank you for the flowers. They smell glorious.

Connor wasn’t certain what had inspired him to arrange the delivery of white roses to Emerson, but somewhere between getting home to his condo the previous evening and messaging with Emerson, he realized she had become the difference in his day. And it hadn’t been the fact she’d been willing to shock the hell out of him with some fucking sexy pics and an orgasm. It was knowing it was her. Emerson. She was likely in the distillery, building something with her family, fighting valiantly to find out what the hell kind of mess her father had left her in. Yet she still had the capacity to be balanced, sweet, and caring.

“Connor,” his father called as Connor passed by his office on his way to the supply chain department, interrupting his thoughts.

“What can I help you with?” he asked, curtly.

His father sighed. “It’s been nearly two weeks, Connor. Is this…atmosphere…really necessary?”

Connor took a deep breath before answering. “I’m being professional. I’m surpassing my targets. And my team is assisting every other department in the business with the exception of finance. Do you have any genuine concerns?”

Sweat dotted his father’s forehead. “That wasn’t what I meant, Connor. You’re being…”

Connor stood silently and let his father flounder.

“You know what I mean,” Donovan blustered.

“No, Dad. I don’t. As I explained to you ten days ago, when I came to see you, I find it unacceptable that you made the decision you did. I find it abhorrent that you did it without the decency to speak with me first. That decision stalls my career aspirations for the next five years. And I’m not prepared to let that happen.”

A meeting broke out across the hallway, and Connor watched as the participants headed toward the elevator. Men in suits. Another distribution deal. Finch Liquor Distribution was the riverbed through which all liquor flowed, but there was nothing to hold on to. And while he worked hard and did a great job, Connor suddenly realized he wasn’t in love with what he did. It wasn’t passion that got him out of bed in the morning; it was routine. He didn’t show up every day because he loved liquor distribution, he showed up because it was expected, because it had been drilled into him every day since he could remember that Finch would be his one day. Suddenly, not only did he question if that was what he wanted, but worse, the idea that this was all he had going for the rest of his life left him dumbstruck.

While Connor floundered with the feeling of a man lost at sea without a compass or life vest, his father pressed on.

“Step into my office for a moment. I have something I want to discuss,” his father said gruffly.

“Can’t it wait, Dad?” Connor asked. “I have something I need to do real quick.”

His father shook his head. “This is important, and I’m sure it’s something you’ll want to hear.”

The sudden seismic shift in Connor’s belief system left him feeling as though he were wide open.
