My Dearest, Laurens

Chapter 22

We are nearing the end of book two! This is exciting! Let me know if a third book should be written. I'm not sure yet if I will but if you guys want it I will definitely write it.

The sound of the office door opening shook me from my thoughts. "Hey," John said quietly standing in front of the door.

"Hi," I said turning my chair the rest of the way around.

"I have some news," John said in the form of a question. He was playing with his thumbs.

I stood up slowly, "What's wrong?"

"I got promoted." He said quietly.

My eyes widened and I practically jumped in the air, "John! That's wonderful news!" I cheered.

"Well we have to move," he started.

"Is it the firm in Florida?" I asked excitedly.

"It's in New York." He sounded afraid of what my reaction would be.

"John?" I started, suddenly worried.

"You don't wanna move, do you?" He looked at the ground.

"No I do, because," I trailed off.

"Because?" He asked.

"I wrote a musical." I said quickly. "I want to get it on a theater stage."
