Elliot wrapped Tessa in a hard embrace and lifted her off the floor of his office Monday morning. “That’s fantastic!” he said after she’d told him about her book being accepted for publication. He sat her down and laughed. “Wow! I’m so happy for you I don’t even know what to say!”

Tessa laughed. “I thought I was seeing things when I first read the letter. Dean and I are going to New York to take care of the business and to have a honeymoon.”

Elliot grinned. “You deserve all of it; the book and the honeymoon. I think it’s a great idea. How long will you be gone?”

“I’m not sure exactly, but we’ll be able to take trains for much of the way since they’ve opened up more lines recently,” Tessa said. “That will greatly cut traveling time.”

“Definitely,” Elliot said. “I think I’m mad at you, though.”

Tessa frowned. “Why?”

“Why is it I haven’t heard your news until now?” Elliot said.

“I haven’t been in town this week and I wouldn’t let anyone else tell you. Plus, only the people closest to me know,” Tessa said.

Elliot smiled again. “Okay, I guess I’m mollified by that. So when are you leaving?”

“Friday. There are some things to tie up at the ranch and so forth, but then we’ll be off to New York!” Tessa said.

“I’m going to miss you. In fact, I missed you this week. We didn’t have our usual coffee date,” Elliot said.

Tessa said, “I’m sorry about that, but I promise that when we get back, we will resume our dates and I’ll have so much to tell you.”

“I’m going to hold you to that,” Elliot said.

Tessa smiled and said, “I’m giving you editing credits, you know.”

“What? Why?” Elliot said. He was very surprised.

“Elliot, you know why. You helped me hone my work and make it good enough for publication. Of course you should get credit. Every good writer needs a great editor and you are mine. I can’t thank you enough,” Tessa said.

“Well, thank you, but it’s not necessary to do that,” Elliot said.

“Do not argue with me, Elliot. You will be given credit and that’s that. Now, I hate to rush off, but I must. I will say goodbye before we leave, though,” Tessa said.

“Do you promise?” Elliot asked as he arched an eyebrow at her.

“Yes,” Tessa said solemnly.

“Okay. Good.”

He walked Tessa out and then jumped as Reckless appeared beside him. Elliot hated that he startled easily sometimes. “Hi, Reckless. How are you doing?”

“I’m good. You’re jumpy,” Reckless said with a laugh.

“Shut up,” Elliot said.

“Do you talk to all your customers like that?” Reckless asked as he followed Elliot to the register counter. Rachel was filling candy there.

“No, just the ones with smart mouths,” Elliot said.

He saw Raven sneaking up on Reckless but didn’t give notice.

“Are you actually here to buy something, or just to bug me?” Elliot asked.

Just as Raven was about to strike, Reckless kicked out backwards, catching Raven in the stomach and knocking his cousin over backwards. Raven grunted as he hit the floor and then started laughing.
