Chapter 36

Terran

I could hear her softly breathing and knew she was still sound asleep. It was early. I woke up before I needed to. I couldn’t sleep. There was a lot that I had planned for the day. It was a nervous energy that had me wide awake with the rising sun, something I was not normally prone to.

I carefully rolled out of bed and padded out to the living room in nothing but my underwear. I started some coffee and sat down at the breakfast bar with my laptop, ready to start my day. I sipped coffee and clicked on the email from my attorney first. I looked at the time and saw it had been sent about ten minutes ago.

“Damn,” I muttered, wondering if he got up that early every day.

I quickly read the brief email, asking if there were any updates to my situation. I grinned thinking about the update and decided it would be best to call and tell him instead. I took my coffee out to the balcony, carefully closing the doors behind me. I didn’t need Hailey overhearing my conversation.

I called Jim’s cell phone and waited.

“Well, well, well,” Jim answered.

I laughed. “I just got your email and wanted to call and talk to you.”

“What’s happening?” he asked in a tone that revealed his dread about hearing the answer.

“I’m officially engaged.”

“Well hot damn. That’s great. I think we should be able to wrap this all up in a hurry then,” he said with glee.

I smiled, feeling a weight being lifted from my shoulders. “So, what do we do now?”

“I’ll contact the estate attorney. I don’t see any reason this can’t move forward. I will need some kind of proof of the engagement to shore up the deal.”

I nodded my head. “How do I get that? I can’t exactly ask her to sign a statement saying she has agreed to marry me. She isn’t aware of the marriage clause, and I don’t want her to find out.”

He cleared his throat. “I understand. I’ll do my best to keep all that quiet.”

“Thank you.”

He didn’t speak for several seconds. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?” he asked.

“What? Her not knowing? Yes, I think it’s a very good idea. If she thinks I only proposed to get the money, there’s a good chance she’ll back out of the engagement. I can’t afford to lose everything,” I said a little testily.

“Okay, okay, your call. I’m only trying to make sure you don’t run into any snags at the last minute.”

“It’s fine. I’ve got it handled. Now, what do I need to do to make this official?”

“I think the announcement in the paper will do just fine. It’s a nice picture of you and your future bride who is beautiful,” he commented.

“What?” I asked, wondering what the hell he was talking about.

“Your engagement announcement. It’s the front page of the community section. You’ll want to get some better pictures of the two of you actually together, but this will do for now,” he explained.
