I can’t believe this is happening.

I stare at my phone in disbelief.

New York.

It’s been almost a week since Chrissy was rushed to the hospital and we’d been caught by Damien. Through texts, I’ve learned that she’s back at the house, but that Adrian is taking the rest of the week off to spend Christmas with his son. His texts have been informative. I haven’t pushed him as far as our relationship goes. I have to take what I can get with him—even if it’s a tiny crumb.

My mind flits back to the conversation with Jenny Nord from Barnes & Noble. They want to meet with me, and she even laughed at my joke that they had to work with me since my company and hers shared the same last name. I’ve added three new names to represent at Noble House and one author in particular has piqued their interest. Since I’ve been home the past week, I’ve had plenty of time to market and advertise Noble House. My business cards came in and the emails are starting to pour in. There are so many authors willing and ready to work with my publishing house. I want to give them all a fair shot, so I’ve been attempting to spend time with each one and pour over their past publications, social media presence, and marketability.

I’ve spent each day with my phone glued to my ear as I connect with bookstores, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. It’s beginning to snowball, and I know as soon as the bank gives me that loan, I’ll be in business and can hire another employee to assist me.

So far, the three authors I’ve signed have agreed to the clause in the contract that states they won’t be guaranteed a place in bookstores, but as soon as that’s available, they’ll be the first chosen. Each is eager to work with me and is taking a chance on my company and me. My marketing and promotional ideas alone are what seems to be the deal sealer. I can’t wait to offer more to these highly creative individuals that deserve the success.

I’m searching flights to New York the week after Christmas when my phone pings.

Wacko: What are you doing tonight?

My heart flutters. I’ve wanted him to reach out to me but until now, he hasn’t seemed to want to see me. I know he’s been busy with getting Chrissy settled back at home, but it still hurt to wait without anything more than standard details about her progress.

Me: Was thinking about taking Eric up on his hot tub offer…

My joke is met with an immediate reply.

Wacko: Be here in twenty minutes or I’ll drag your sexy ass out of that hot tub and fuck you in front of him, so he knows you’re mine.

I burst into a fit of giggles. It’s good to know that teasing him about Eric will get a rise out of him.

Me: Well then. I guess I will decline his invitation.

Wacko: Damn straight. Now pack an overnight bag and get over here.
