Morning Jane and this must be Deb. It's nice to finally meeting you..Same here.  Well we need to know how you want your check to be written out to you,  since your are getting a divorce.  Deb Hough.  As you know we aren't using any photos of you on the book but the write up you provided was excellent . We dented a few so your employer won't know it's you.  Thank you.  I was a little nervous writing it up.  We do this all the time especially for put authors who remain anonymous.
Here is your first check  We hope you can write a sequel.  I am not sure about that but thank you.
We say our good byes.  We are in the elevator when Deb finally looks at the check.

Oh my goodness,  Jane thank you.  I can take a leave of absence from work and not feel guilty.  Let's go celebrate  at the Marriott and get a room for the night.  I like the way you think.
You guys we will be at the Marriott for the night and won't be leaving until check out time.
I text my mother to tell her we won't be home tonight.  She returns the text. Enjoy your dessert but not too much baby girl. 😉
