" Hey Can you head into the conference room?" Mark asks its my first day back after our vacation there were piles of papers on my desk and I saw on the calendar that Jackson is flying in again.

" Sure."

" Thanks" he replies already gone.

I am assuming something is going on because everyone is running around like lunatics I grab my notebook and try not to notice the weird looks I am getting I wonder if I am getting fired.

" What's going on?" I ask as soon as I enter the door.

" There's an issue with an account Jackson is on his way here and then we are heading out it'll be me, Jackson and three other guys" Mark says still looking at a paper.

" Where are you guys headed?"

" Overseas" he answers quickly and seems extremely distracted.

" Okay...." I trail off feeling a little out of the loop" Did I screw something up?"

Mark's head snaps up" No not at all this is fairly normal our overseas accounts are always a little strange this account is in Dubai and the Navy wants us to provide asset protection they want us to come out and see what's going on firsthand and give them an assessment o what we can do to ensure it doesn't get fucked up. Muff wants to make sure you can handle the office while I am gone."

" I am sure I can."

" okay we'll be out of reach most of the time so you'll have to be able to figure out everything while we are away, I wanted to give you these files before I leave in a few days plus go over a few of the financial things."

It says a lot to me that they want me to handle the office in their absence it doesn't make sense why they'll be unreachable but far be it from me to understand everything that goes on here.

Mike knocks" Charlie's on line for you Twilight."

Mark looks over at me" I need to take this we are leaving in day or two but I'll shoot you an email with everything in case things are hectic beforehand."

" Okay" I stand awkwardly and head out of the room, Mark is usually a pretty calm guy but he seems keyed up. I hope he's being honest and that I didn't do something wrong, I handled the Dubai account and made sure they had the manpower they requested.

Heading back to my office I see I have a missed call from Jinyoung's mom its the first time I have heard from her in a year she cut me and Emma off completely and no matter how many times I have tired she never reciprocates.

I sent out Emma's birthday invitations the other day maybe she's going to come.

I dial her number and someone picks up.

" Patti?" I ask.

" Nay" she says my name with a sigh" I am so sorry, I have been an awful mother in law I should have called its just been so hard" Patti starts to ramble and my heart aches for her.

" There are no guidelines on grief I wish you would have let me grieve with you but I understand" I want to ease her mind its a hard place to be and I can't begrudge how she chose to live with it.

" I got the invitation with her photo she looks so much like him."

" She does" I agree.

" How are you doing?"

We chat and catch up she tells me she wants to come out for her birthday party and would love to talk again, I have missed her she was like a mother to me since I was sixteen.
