I shake my head. “No, not yet, but I know she will be down for it. I don’t want to get her hopes up. I know she misses home. I do too.”
“We miss you too. Shit, Eli almost came with to help us plan. He said he knew how the board thinks, but I told him we have it under control. He’s on speed dial, though, if we need him.”
Gratitude fills me. Not only did my brother drop everything he has on his plate to come help me plot, but one of my friends was willing to do it too, and I know if Brantley had known, he would have jumped in on it too. They want us at home as much as I do.
Mason pulls out his phone and smiles. “The girls are leaving and heading to lunch. You ready to get to work?”
“Yeah, but first, are you hungry? I can have Chad order us something and have it delivered,” I tell him.
He nods. “Let’s do it.”
“Sandwich work?”
“Sure.”
I get up and go over to my desk, grabbing my phone.
Me
Hey, can you have lunch delivered for Mason and me? We were thinking sandwiches.
Chad
Sure, do you have a place in mind?
Me
No, I’ll let you decide.
Chad
Consider it done.
Me
Thanks.
I put my phone back down and turn to face my brother.
“All right, let’s get started,” I say, clapping my hands together.
Let Operation Move Back to Boston commence. It can’t be that hard, can it?
Chapter
Twenty
IRIS
“Iris,how did you get these tickets? These are amazing,” Olivia says as we are escorted to our own private balcony.
I smile at her. “It helps knowing people.”
“What she means is that she helped the owner of the theater with his finances last year when he hit a snag. He happens to be a member of our board, so when he asked for the favor, she agreed willingly. Now we basically get tickets to anything we want.” Max nudges my shoulder.
I didn’t even know the musical was at his theater. I figured Chad would get us some cheap seats that are held in case of someone important coming to town. I didn’t expect a complimentary balcony. Not only that, but this is the owner’s balcony.
“I would have helped him no matter who he is,” I tell Max, blushing at his praise.
