Let Ms. Mary Vaughn readthatemail and sweat.
I head toward the large conference room when what I really want to do is hop on an airplane and fly to Tess even though I have no idea where in Ohio she lives. The waiting is killing me. I feel like I’m too big for my skin, that this nervous energy is too much to contain.
Every Monday morning Jack and I meet with our department heads to listen to concerns, answer questions, brainstorm, whatever they need from us. I never miss unless I’m out of town, so skipping today would be noticed. Besides, I need something to distract me until I can find Tess.
I’ll make this right if I have to move her to Denver so she can be my assistant in person.
I pause halfway through the door of the conference room. A strange flutter in my heart region has me pressing a palm to my chest. What the hell’s wrong with me?
