People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one
And we've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like you and me, as free as a dove
Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above
And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me every thing's gonna be all right
Danny's Song, Anne Murray
Blair arrived with her small team at LAX around 4pm, and immediately were escorted to The Westin Hotel. They would have an early welcome dinner with their hosts, then adjourn for the rest of that Sunday night to rest up for a 9am meeting the next morning. They would be staying and meeting at the Westin, which made it easy on the visitors from New York.
The Dinner ended by 8 O'clock, Blair rushing up to her room so she could call Jo back in New York before her lover went to bed.
Jo saw Blair's number pop up on her phone, and she grinned excitedly. "Heya Princess! Glad you remembered me tonight!"
Blair laughed. "Oh, turn blue you barbarian." Jo giggled back. "God I miss you so much already, baby."
"How was the flight out?"
"Being the senior member of the group", Blair said, Jo almost able to see the smirk on her face, "I flew First Class, which on a six-hour flight is a Godsend."
"You deserve First Class for everything, babe."
"Why, thank you, Ms. Polniaczek! How was work today, sweetie?"
"It was a really good day. We sold five bikes today, and another two interested parties are coming back tomorrow, and might buy as well."
"That old Polniaczek charm?"
Jo snorted. "Me, charming? Don't go blonde on me, blondie", she laughed. "I got two sales and Myles got the other three. That man is a rock star ."
"You've got a wonderful team there, Joey. I know you probably get tired of hearing it, but I'm so proud of you, honey."
"Couldn't have made it this far without ya', Princess", Jo said seriously. "Having you in my corner is something I'll never take for granted."
They talked for another half hour, Blair realizing it was getting toward 11:30 on the East Coast. "Honey, I'm gonna let you go for the night. The meetings run til about four tomorrow afternoon, then we're free for the night, so I should be able to call you earlier. If something comes up, I'll text you."
"Sound like a plan, love." Jo sighed. "You've been gone less than a day, and even though I worked most of it, I still can't believe how lonely I feel without you, and not havin' you sleep next to me tonight."
"Same here, my dear", Blair replied, "but it's only for a few days. I'll be home before you know it. Just make sure to have some sweet dreams about me."
"If you're in the dream, it'll be sweet, darlin'", Jo chuckled. "I love you, baby. Miss you so damn much."
"Love you too, Joey." The sound of a kiss echoed on the phone, Jo smiling. "I'll talk to you tomorrow."

The two prospective clients came back in the next day, Jo and Myles each getting another sale, high-fiving each other at one point."
"Boss, you and I have been cleaning up, but know what I think?"
Jo smiled. "Let me guess...you want a raise?"
