Josh looked out over the office space on the second floor of the building where the Barnes-Fleetwood Collective’s administrative work was done. His fathers had purchased the building on Main Street years before and changed the former mixed-use office center into an ultramodern space. Not that one could tell from the outside. His mother had taken over the Willow Fork Historical Society when he was a kid in what the town liked to call the Coup of the Century. It wasn’t really a coup. It was a case of the society needed money and his mother had it.

Sometimes he wondered if his dad thought they’d made the wrong play. He’d been unwilling to give the society a dime if his wife wasn’t the chairman of the board. His mom had turned right around and denied all the changes his dad wanted to make to the façade of the building.

That had probably been one hell of a spanking.

He groaned. He shouldn’t have even thought that.

“Hey, Josh. I set the reports on your desk, confirmed your reservations for the club this weekend, and pulled the employment files you asked for. Are we finally firing Alyssa?” His assistant stood in the doorway, a mug of coffee in her hand. Sandy was more of an office manager, and she never let him forget the fact that she’d changed his diapers when he was a baby.

He wondered what it was like for people who lived in cities where not every citizen remembered how you used to accidently pee on them as a small infant.

And the coffee was for her, not him. He’d been told in the beginning that he should get his own.

Now his parents were another story. Sandy would trip over her own feet to make sure Abigail Barnes-Fleetwood had her coffee exactly how she wanted it and made sure there was always Coke in the fridge because that’s what the dads preferred.

“I’m reviewing a couple of things,” he replied, turning from the window and moving back to the big desk that his father had occupied until he’d decided Josh was up to the task of running the business portion of Barnes-Fleetwood.

The day he and Olivia had taken over, Jack Barnes had saluted his kids and run out of the office after declaring himself a free man.

Sandy’s brow rose, and she adjusted her comfortable cardigan. She’d been with the company for over twenty years, and sometimes Josh thought the only reason his dad didn’t watch them like a hawk was he knew Sandy would step in if anything went wrong. “Josh, everyone knows what she did to your new girlfriend.”

“That doesn’t mean I have a business reason to fire her, and my uncle will have my hide if I put the business in legal jeopardy.” He sank down into the big chair. Olivia hadn’t wanted the larger office, claiming it was too cold in here and the view from hers was better.

Sometimes he thought it was because she’d known how much responsibility came from sitting in their father’s chair.
