The only thing that hadn’t gone wrong with the company retreat was that I got the chance to spend time with Danger Zone.

Thursday I’d had to cancel the meeting with the Curvy Girl Crew, because the catering company that Patrice and Dan had booked tried to triple their prices at the last minute, and Danger Zone wasn’t having any of that, so we’d spent the evening finding a different agency to do it.

Friday, there was an uproar with three of the teams who were openly fighting in the office. One girl threw a punch and would have knocked a guy out if he’d been an inch shorter. Granted, considering the guys from the IT department had refused to help because they were too important to participate in a fifteen-minute meeting, I didn’t blame her. Danger Zone had been on the brink of strangling someone, so I’d sent him away for two hours and had called in Tyrell and Catherine to handle it.

No one dared argue with a raging woman in her sixties who was fed up with the whining, but it had taken me half of my day to deal with it.

That night I’d left Brooke and William on their own to taste-test wedding cakes.

Saturday, the entire committee had gathered to help make the baskets, and as soon as people had seen the unique company swag, the whining recommenced.

That’s when I’d started yelling at the employees about being entitled babies, and Danger Zone had sent me out to get myself ice cream and read a book for an hour.

I’d gotten pie, of course, but his sentiment had been appreciated.

We’d both been in and out of the office the whole weekend. Neither of us had been home for more than a few hours at a time, and we’d spent Sunday morning getting all the supplies for mini golf into the ballroom at the hotel.

Somehow, actually buying golf balls hadn’t made it onto anyone’s list, and I’d called all the nearby stores to get enough sets in different colors. Most of them would be delivered on Monday morning.

By the time Anna finally dropped off the stuffed animals Sunday at eight o’clock in the evening, I was ready to collapse.

If Danger Zone hadn’t been right there with me most of the time, I might have actually quit my job.

But he had been there, and through adversity, we’d grown closer.

He now used my name all the time, asked how I was doing, and brought me coffee in the morning. We sat close enough to touch, although not when anyone else was around. I watched him and made sure he had enough emotional energy left for what we needed to do, and if he didn’t, I made sure he took some time to recharge.

I could tell by the way his face never left a category three grouchy mode that he was getting short on pretty much everything, but he told me he was determined to see this through.

Then he was going to take a week off.
