Anger is boiling through my veins as I slam into my apartment
All I can think about is how I'm going to tell her
I love my job
I love travelling
Yet right now is not the time to go and do business and make partnerships
I could try and reschedule our trip but that would create anarchy and havoc
Thoughts of cancelling the trip flit through my mind
But her crestfallen face keeps slapping me against my face
I call Sophie
"Just take her on the work trip with you," she states with conviction
"We won't have any time to spend together because I'll be working," I protest my voice breaking
"She's a grown woman; she can go to the beach for the day while you work and then you can spend time in the evening," Sophie continues
It all sounds so rational
"Mum always said never to break promises," Sophie says breaking the uncomfortable silence
She's right
Work or no work I promised her a holiday
A warm sunny holiday she's going to get
With a large dose of love and affection to compensate for soon to be negligence
