Chapter 15

When I’m done, I mean it in capital letters dammit!

“This is great, Andrea,” my boss, Mr. Collins, says after handing him the piece I wrote on the upcoming charity run the Ruthless Rebels are doing. It’s been hard to focus on anything after hearing everything Austin told me, but this article helped me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s horrible what the child and his family are going through, and it pains me just writing the words. But the hope in it is what I’ve clung to. The hope that this treatment the Rebels are helping fund will save this little boy.

Gloria has been a great help with the Rebels information, and I’m so impressed with them. I knew from talking with her the other night that this wasn’t the Rebels first charity run, but to know that they have done over four hundred in the past ten years is remarkable. Some of them have been for cancer research, autism, and many for individual families.

She showed me pictures, and the smiles on all of their faces showed of their want to help. Austin looked so young in several of them and I’ll fully admit the ones with him and women, I avoided like the plague.

“Thank you. I’m very proud of it.”

His smile is wide. “We’ll run this on the cover.”

“Really?” I gasp in surprise. While I knew he’d run it, knowing it will be on the front page, even if the GJS is a small paper, is a big deal to me. While I was in Florida, all I wanted was to find that big story and nail it so I could get that coveted position. Now, that isn’t in my realm of needs, but it’s still a wonderful thing.

“Absolutely. We’ll run it now so that’ll give people a shot to get involved. Then you’ll need a follow up.”

“Of course.” Pride hits me in the gut. This is the part of investigative reporting that I wanted. Not being in the middle of a warzone, but sharing news that can make a difference. I want to help people. I want to see this family get the support and their son to live a full life.

I head out to my desk and sit down. The high surrounds me as I lean back, look up to the ceiling and close my eyes. I’m good at this. Damn good and I’ve missed it.

“Andrea.”

I jump at the male voice, my eyes flying open and bit of dizziness hitting at the sudden movement. I blink rapidly trying to clear my vision and see Hunter, a co-worker, standing by my cubicle space.

“Hey, Hunter, what’s going on?”

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. Are you alright?” The concern is evident in his voice.

My vision and hearing come in line, and I nod. “Of course, what can I do for you?”

He pulls his arm from the side of my short wall with a bundle of beautiful lilies. Warmth surrounds me because there is only one man who would send me flowers—Austin.
