“Are you going to offer her a job?”
I don’t know why I want Savvy to deny it, it’s blatantly obvious that’s exactly what she’s planning to do.
“As soon as I can get a hold of her,” she confirms, holding up her phone.“I will be in touch later, and don’t go anywhere without notifying Hugo or me.”
“Yes, Mother,” I mock.
“And if you get bored,” she adds, as she hugs me at the door.“Start putting together some mood boards for me.”
“Mood boards?For the nursery?”
She’s already a couple of steps down the stairs when she stops to look back at me.
“Not the nursery, Tate says she’s got that covered.”
She grins, wiggling the fingers of her left hand where an unfamiliar sparkle hits my eye.
Then she adds, “My June wedding.”
“Wait, what?”I yell after her as she jogs down the stairs.
She doesn’t stop, but I can hear her joyful laugh all the way out the door.
Wow.
A wedding, and only two months away.I didn’t even get a chance to congratulate her.
I head back inside the room and grab my phone from the coffee table, intending to send her a quick text when I find a message waiting from Hugo.
Carson wants to know why I’m in such a good mood.
I think I’ll keep it to myself.;) Sleep tight.
Good grief,the man doesn’t even have to be in the same room to fire me up.
Sleep tight, my foot.
Chapter14
Bess
A new day,a new attitude.
That’s my resolve this morning.
Yes, I have a gigantic bump in my road, but I’ve battled and beat worse problems.Why am I letting this current situation get the best of me?I’m resilient, I think I’ve proven that, and I have too much going for me to roll over and play dead.That’s simply not my style.
I need to keep busy, tackling issues as they come up one by one, instead of trying to solve everything all at once.
Besides, I have my best friend’s wedding to help plan, and her baby to welcome a few months after that.I want to look forward to that.Plus, there is this thing with Hugo to explore, and from what I could tell yesterday afternoon, there’s quite a bit of enticing real estate to cover.
It’s amazing how different the world can look after a decent night of sleep.
I caved last night, and took one of the pills Dana prescribed.It knocked me right out and I woke up refreshed and with a more positive perspective.
After a quick shower, I checked my phone to find a message from my insurance company, confirming they’re sending out an adjuster this morning.My plan is to meet him at Strange Brew after I grab a quick bite downstairs.
“Going out?”Doug asks when I walk into the dining room with my coat over my arm.
