SAMANTHA

I arrived at Autumn Valley early Monday morning. It’d been a full weekend with Mac and Dax and I was anxious to get back to the files on my desk. I walked into the admin office and turned on the lights. It was only seven a.m. and I was the first one in. I locked the main door behind me and made my way down the hall to my office. Turning on the lights, I saw the piles and piles of paper covering my office and thought perhaps I was the butt of a joke. It was, after all, April first—April Fool’s Day.

I followed the stacks from my desk to the paper trail that led into the boardroom. It looked as if I’d not only received the information I’d been begging for, I’d also received every note, piece of paper, contract and memo ever taken at Autumn Valley. Suddenly my quest for information had turned into a needle hunt in a haystack.

I sighed heavily, but decided it was exactly what I’d asked for. Now it was up to me to figure it out. My plan was to quickly go through each paper and separate the stacks into categories. Everyone and everything was getting its own file and I was gonna get a handle on this bitch once and for all.

James Miller, the man who never left a paper trail, surprisingly penned a note to me and left it on my desk. It was a list of the types of physicians he wanted me to begin to recruit: general internal medicine, internal medicine with an emphasis on geriatrics, an orthopedic surgeon and at least two new physical and occupational therapists. It all seemed reasonable, but nothing was going to happen until I managed the mess at hand.

I pulled the phone from my purse and sat it close to Dax’s picture so I could find it in the piles if Mac called. I desperately wanted to text him, but things had ended awkwardly last night. I didn’t know what I would say if I did text him. We’d spent a wonderful day together and Dax loved him, but I made sure to explain again at bedtime that Mac and I were merely friends. Still, I had plans to see Mac tonight. He was going to pick me up at the office, and we were going to dinner in town. I decided I wouldn’t text him just yet. He was probably sleeping anyway.

As I went through the papers, I noticed my photo of Daniel sitting on the credenza. I stared at him for a moment and made the conscious decision to put the picture frame inside the drawer. I wasn’t ready to put him in my own lavender box, but it was time to make a clean start, and this was a good beginning for me. Mac had opened up my heart to love again and I wanted to see where it led without looking back.

“Good morning, Miss Samantha,” Miller chimed from my open door.
