Kayla was surprised when John opened the door. “Hey!” she said.

“Hi Kayla, it’s good to see you. Come on in. Mitch was just showing me some of the people who donated to the fundraiser.”

She felt her heart leap; what if the whole thing was funded over the weekend?

“We raised some money?”

“You bet we did!” He stepped aside to let her in.

Oliver gave him a sniff before darting away to run up and down the stairs after a tennis ball that Mitch bought for him.

“We raised almost two hundred dollars!”

“Oh,” Kayla said, trying to hide her disappointment. That was nice of course, but she wanted to raise enough to get these people a new house. Two hundred dollars would buy them a nice dollhouse, but not much more.

“Hi Kayla,” said Mitch. He wasn’t wearing his cowboy hat, but he was wearing a distracting shirt. Maybe he’d worn it before and she hadn’t noticed. It was a black button down shirt, nothing fancy, but it really suited him. It made his green eyes stand out, and Kayla hated that she noticed that.

“Hey Mitch. Do you mind if I check my email?”

“Of course, go ahead.”

She got onto the computer and logged into her email account. She was excited when she saw that she had seven responses to the emails she’d sent out on Friday.

The first six were rejections – they all thanked her for the information, but said they couldn’t run the story. No room in the schedule, they all claimed.

“What do they mean they don’t have room for it?” she said. “What else are they covering? This is local news – well, it’s fairly local. All within a three hour radius. This is a real story! They run stories all the time that aren’t even related to the people living here. And who tells them to do that, some executive? Are they just broadcasting whatever some rich guy in a suit tells them to broadcast?”

“Unfortunately, a lot of us spend most of our time doing what rich guys in suits tell us to do,” Mitch commented.

She shot him a dirty look. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

He put his hands up. “Nothing! I was agreeing with you.”

John walked into the room and Kayla felt her anger subsiding. She opened the last email. The first line said, “Thank you for sharing this amazing story. We would love to feature this next week on our evening programming.”

She let out a squeal.

John leaned in to look at the screen. “Did you get some good news?”

“Yes! The station over in Jackson Hole is going to run your story!”

John’s eyes grew wide. “Really? We’re going to be on the news?”

Kayla grabbed his hands and nodded excitedly. “Yes!”

“I need to call Vera,” said John. “Mitch – do you have a phone that I can use?”

Mitch pulled out his cell phone. “Sure, take your time.”

John left the room, leaving them alone. Kayla was determined to not say anything. She turned around to read the email again.

Mitch, for once, broke the silence.
