On Tuesday, much to my attorney’s delight, I made it to my meeting with the new client, Malcolm Day. He signed the papers and I should be thrilled, maybe even go out and celebrate. But instead, all I can do is think about Juliette and counting down the hours until I see her again this weekend.

I didn’t get her number, I didn’t even think about it at the time, but now I’m wishing I had. But thinking about it, this is probably for the best. Just the way she is and with her past, I know I need to take it slow. But every time I think about her curvy body in my arms and her lips on mine, it jumbles all my thoughts. Because I don’t want to take my time with her. She makes me want to dive right in and experience it all.

Roger walks into my office, forcing my thoughts of Juliette away. “That went well. Want to celebrate? I’ll buy you a beer.”

I laugh. “You didn’t have any doubts, did you? I told you it would work out.”

He just shrugs his shoulders, but I can tell he actually has been worried about it. “I think I’m going to work a while longer, maybe try to head home Thursday instead of Friday.”

Roger sits down on the couch in my office and folds his hands together. “What is going on with you and that ranch, man? You have the life here in the city. And I saw Belinda. She said you broke it off with her a few weeks ago. What’s going on?”

I roll my eyes and get up from my chair to look out at the city. “Belinda was more interested in my money than me. That’s not what I want anymore. I want to settle down, maybe even have kids one day. I don’t know. It’s like when I’m here, I’m a jumble. But back at the ranch, it all falls into place. I’m home there, Roger.”

“But the business…” he starts.

I look at Roger and I know he’s the closest thing to a friend I’ve got. But I can’t help but wonder whether if we didn’t have this business between us, we would still be friends. “I know. The business is here… in the city. I’m not giving it up, but I am done sacrificing my wants because of it. I’m going to try and have them both, for however long it lasts.”

I can tell he doesn’t like it because already I’m wondering about the future of my company. A month I’ve been going back and forth and already I’m thinking of ways to spend more time there. In the beginning, I never dreamed I would give up my company… now I’m not so sure.

We talk for a few more minutes, and Roger leaves. I put him and Juliette out of my thoughts and try to focus. But all I can think about is her. When she was in front of me on Vlad, my arms around her, I could have died a happy man.
