THESE THOUGHTS WERE still running through Allie’s head the day of the foundation meeting. She’d see him for the first time and there was no escaping him. Sure, he could leave right after the meeting, but he’d still have to see her.

“Do I have to come—”

“No,” Allie said before Kyle could finish his sentence.

She had her notes and other papers to distribute all ready to go. In less than an hour she’d see Will. She chewed on the end of her pen, re-wrote her notes a few times, anything to get her mind off the meeting. She’d try to corner him before he left and talk to him, or see if he’d go for coffee with her, anything at all.

Just the thought of seeing him made her heart skip a beat. She hadn’t felt this way about a guy since high school, when young love was so innocent and new. Come to think about it, she’d never felt that way with Blake. They’d sort of causally fallen into a relationship and awkwardly fallen out of it. She didn’t stay awake for hours thinking about him or eating an entire bag of cookies downed with grocery store boxed wine. Will was so different . . . and unattainable.

Her phone chimed. She picked it up and her heart deflated.

Will: Something’s come up. Can’t make it. Email me what I need to know.

She set down her phone and her shoulders sank. He was going to avoid her, that was his new plan. He was a coward. She rested her head on the desk and groaned. Now what?

“You okay?” Kyle asked.

“Just thinking,” she said. She stayed like this for a while until Kyle let her know that it was time for the meeting. Allie trudged to the boardroom, went through the motions and was happy when Tiffani took over. She did a roll call, catalogued all the donations and delegated tasks. With only two more meetings before Christmas, and only two after the holidays, there wasn’t much time left to plan.

The meeting ended and she returned to her office. Kyle took one look at her and frowned. “Hey, you look like crap. I think you should take the afternoon off.”

She looked at Kyle and nodded. Anger had set in now and she wanted to be alone to sulk. “Great idea. I’ll see you in the morning.”
