I am all for a baseball metaphor with you, Mr Jeon.

I want to keep my name here.

I'll explain this evening.

I am going in to a meeting now.

Miss our bubble, too . . .

PS: Thought I had to use my BlackBerry?

This is going to be such a fight.

I can feel it. Sighing, I gather up my papers for the meeting.

The meeting lasts for two hours.

All the commissioning editors are there, plus Roach and Elizabeth.

We discuss personnel, strategy, marketing, security and year-end.

As the meeting progresses, I grow more and more uncomfortable.

There's a subtle change in how my colleagues are treating me
a distance and deference that wasn't there before I left for
my honeymoon.

And from Courtney, who heads up the non-fiction division, there's downright hostility.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid but it goes some way to explaining Elizabeth's odd greeting this morning.

My mind drifts back to the
yacht, then to the playroom, then to the R8 speeding away from the mystery Dodge on I-5.

Perhaps Jungkook's right . . . perhaps I can't do this anymore.

The thought is depressing this
is all I've ever wanted to do.

If I can't do this, what will I do?

As I walk back to my office, I try to dismiss these dark thoughts.

When I sit down at my desk, I quickly check my e-mails.

Nothing from Jungkook. I check my BlackBerry Still nothing.

Good.

At least there's been no adverse reaction to my e-mail, Perhaps we'll discuss this tonight as per my request.
