Making the Most of a Month

Mitch

I was relieved beyond belief not just that Hope agreed to my no-strings fling, but also that she didn’t get offended or angry. What I’d asked for was wrong in so many ways. The proposal itself was crazy, but telling her I wasn’t relationship material the day after I’d spent the night naked with her put me at risk of being as bad as I’d been nine years ago. Next I asked her to lie to her brother. It was bad enough I was lying to him, but to ask her to do it was just wrong.

Even so, I was thrilled she agreed. I enjoyed my life, but she was right in that sometimes it was a lonely existence. There were times I missed the company and intimacy of a woman. After she thanked me on the floor of the studio, I helped her move her work items in, and then brought her suitcases to my room.

I left her to work on her business while I went to my office on the lower floor and took care of some freelance work I was doing for my brother Will. Late afternoon, I poured a glass of wine for each of us and brought it up to her.

“How’s it going?” I asked.

She sighed from behind her computer. “Okay.”

“Just okay?” I handed her the wine.

“Oh, wine break, good idea.” She sat back in her chair. I looked at her screen on which she had some sort of graphic design program.

“What’s the problem?”

“I just wish my program was easier to use.” She opened her web browser. “See this fabric? I’d like to test how it would look on this design.” She returned to her graphic program. “But I can’t copy the pattern.”

“Do you make your own patterns?”

“Sometimes. Also, I can’t seem to get the ribbing along the sleeves like I want in this program. But,” she continued. “I have made some progress on my business plan. In my SWOT I’ve discovered I have a lot of W and not enough S.”

I frowned. “I don’t believe it. You have plenty of strengths, and all businesses have weaknesses before they start.”

She turned to me. “I’ve never run a business. The industry is crowded. I’m not in New York. My ideas aren’t that unique. Those are all pretty big weaknesses. Maybe this isn’t a good idea.”

I hate how defeated she looked. “Do you love it?” I nodded toward her drawn sketches.

“I have to make a living, Mitch. It doesn’t matter if I love it.”

“That’s not true. Making a living doing what you love makes all the difference.”

“You don’t. You walked away from your passion.”

I tried not to take the comment as a barb, although it did poke at me. “My situation is different. I don’t have to make a living, and I still do some work. Besides, what would you do instead?”

“I could go to New York and get a job with another designer. I could learn more about the business of it before starting my own.
