"And you've never done a project in one either, have you?"
"Do you talk to all of your project managers like this, or just the women?"
"Easy now." Josh held his hands up in front of him, stick up style. "That came out wrong. I didn't mean to sound condescending, it's just that things happen at a different pace around here in Chance Rapids. We call it 'Chance Time'."
"How do you ever get anything accomplished?"
"Things always seem to get done. Now, Brian, the heating guy, is a one-man show. His wife works at the courthouse, and he had to take his son to get a cast. He's a good guy. He will be here tomorrow. If that sets us a day back, it sets us a day back."

"You're going to be here every day?"
"Every day," she replied.
Josh grinned, "So, no more doggy daycare?"
Megan exhaled, she wondered if Josh knew that she was totally clueless. "I've scheduled in time for my new furry assistant," she smiled, thankful for the subject change.
"Are you leaving him here, or can I pick him up at our usual time?"
Timber looked between the two of them as if he knew that they were talking about him.
"Our usual time." She smiled and turned. "Let's go, Timber."
"See you soon, Boss," Josh yelled as she stepped onto the porch.
Megan smiled but didn't correct him.
