Emily walked into the meeting late, which was not her fault at all.

Someone had fallen onto the subway tracks, so they had stopped service to get the stupid person off the tracks. She felt justified in calling the person an idiot because, one, they weren’t hurt, and two, who leans so far over the tracks to see if the train is coming that they actually fall in unless they are brain dead?

Anyway, her train had been late and consequently, so had she for a meeting with Katie and the big bosses, the owners of the agency, aka the guys who signed her paycheck—well not literally, the accountant did that, but still, they were important.

She was sticking with blaming the subway; it didn’t matter that she lived near enough to walk if she absolutely had to for any reason, like the trains not running. But it was a long walk and cold outside, and she had on her new red patent-leather shoes and there were a ton of puddles from a recent rainstorm.

Emily tried not to think about how she had been running late that morning anyway after having slept like crap the night before because she was once again reliving her one night with Hawk.

Her brain knew thinking about him was pointless. It should anyway, she told it enough! But yet, the rebellious gray matter continued to disobey the minute the lights went out at night, and Emily had no control over it.

Mr. Howard, as in The Howard & Dean Agency, nodded in her direction. Hopefully that was a good thing, Emily wasn’t sure.

Mr. Dean, the other half of the partnership, began speaking again. “You’re just in time. We were about to review preliminary results of the Army campaign. The client reports that they’ve tracked a small spike in recruitment since the new Army ads hit two weeks ago. However…”

Uh, oh. Howevers were never good.

He continued, “it is not nearly as large a response as the SpecOps ads yielded last year. We need to evaluate why that is. Any ideas, people?”

Mr. Dean glanced around the room expectantly.

Katie shrugged. “I’d have to say that I’m not sure we can expect the same response. It’s apples and oranges trying to compare SpecOps and enlisted Army. We portrayed SpecOps as elite, which made people want it more.”

Mr. Howard nodded. “Exactly why we did not approach the Army campaign in the same way. Our goal, which was successful in some respects and not so in others, is to show the Army soldier as
