Late October 2016.
"Good morning, April." I greeted the receptionist as I walked into the office Thursday morning, a coffee in one hand, a couple of documents for Jason in the other.
April sat with a straight back, her hair down in soft curls and a sweet smile on her mouth.
She held out a hand for the documents, setting them down on a growing pile of manila folders. "Good morning. I love that dress."
"Aw, thanks."
I glanced down at the charcoal dress, a soft cotton fabric that stretched tight around my hips and thighs and went down to my lower calves. I'd slipped a blazer over it to keep the fall chill off my shoulders. Smiling at April, I thanked her. She was genuinely such a sweet girl, always had a compliment to hand out, a grin to give, a hand of help to extend.
It made me think that if she knew Sadie and Jason were no longer married because of his actions, she would be devastated. I was so proud of Sadie for keeping her safe from that backlash.
Thinking of Sadie gave me a moment of pause, regret and sadness sweeping in. We still hadn't talked and it had been a couple of weeks since we'd blown up at each other. I missed her but I was being stubborn, making a point.
Whenever I thought about the fact that she hadn't reached out, I felt frustrated. Did she not think I deserved an apology?
She was probably waiting for the same thing from me.
"There are a couple of contracts in that folder," I said to April. "Also some budget consent forms I need him to sign off on."
Jason had a few branches of staff under his umbrella. Decorators, builders, electricians. He covered all that could be covered when it came to new buildings. Just earlier this week he'd sent me the blue prints for a brand new house being built in Upper Lonsdale. All it had was a frame so far but the 3D floor plans that Jason emailed me were incredible.
It was a house in the forest, secluded, private, among the trees. Jason wanted me to start putting together a digital mock up for the entire house. I was doing an entire house and it scared me, but I was excited because the mood boards that the client sent over, were phenomenal.
It was as if my own dreams were being brought to life and I had to admit, I was a little bit jealous of whoever was going to end up living in that house.
Apparently Jason had shown the client a folder of my previous work and now the client wanted me to take the lead because he appreciated and related to my vision so much. It sounded bizarre but I had total creative freedom and I wasn't going to argue with that.
"I watched Phoenix play against Pittsburgh the other night," April leaned on her desk, swinging her seat from side to side with a suggestive grin. "His game has improved from that mess he was in a couple of weeks ago."
