A quiet relief settled in Sean’s chest as the meeting progressed almost to the point of making him giddy.

It was like when he was sixteen and he missed curfew. He’d carefully and quietly sneak back into the house through an unlocked window in the back of their home. He’d learned the trick from Ewan. If he knew it’d be a late night, he’d unlatch the window in the laundry room so he could crawl back through. After he’d snuck into the house and up to his room undetected, without having to pass his waiting father’s sleeping form in the living room, the relief was as sweet as it got.

Now he felt that same wonderful feeling swimming through his bones.

When he’d first spotted Darcy entering the conference room, he’d held his breath. His heart rate had spiked, and apprehension had coiled in the pit of his stomach. She’d looked lovely in her black-and-white outfit and her sky-high red shoes.

He hadn’t spoken to Darcy since he’d last seen her in her apartment. Rebecca had notified him that all subcontractors, including Darcy Owens, had confirmed today’s meeting. He’d known what an awkward reunion it would be. He’d assumed she’d treat him with cold indifference. Sean was surprised when she’d looked him directly in the eye without any animosity. In fact, she’d acted completely normal.

He’d watched her out of the corner of his eye, giving her sidelong glances as Michael and the other subcontractors gave their reports. Her red-painted lips would turn up a little at the corners in response to something someone said. She wrote furiously in her notebook, which was no surprise considering she’d always taken terrific notes. Hell, her notes were one of the only things that had gotten him through school.

She’d participated in the meeting. She’d even laughed at one of his jokes. And just like every other time he’d ever made her laugh, it’d given him that warm sense of triumph.

Maybe he’d been wrong. Maybe everything was going to be okay between them.

He’d been concerned when she wasn’t there on time. One of Darcy’s many attributes was the fact she was religiously on time, no matter the circumstances. He’d thought maybe she bailed on the meeting or God forbid was late because of an accident. Relief after seeing her approach the conference room had given way to uncertainty as he’d awaited his sentencing. Now as the meeting finished and everyone prepared to leave, he was eager to talk to her. It looked like the storm might have blown over.

“Sean, can I get your signature on this lumber supplier validation list?” Charlie asked as he pushed a sheet of paper in front of Sean.

He scribbled his name across the signature line after a cursory glance at the list. They used the same suppliers for every job. He was confident that Charlie was on top of things.

“Hey, Sean,” Daniel called. “I have some expense reports and purchase orders for you to approve. Can I bring those by your office in about an hour?”

Sean nodded to Daniel as he pushed in his chair.
