Chapter 55: I'll Make Time

When I put the phone down, I'm disappointed at the idea of not seeing her. So, disappointed that I quickly type out a text message:

Landon: Aurora. I'll make time. Let me take you out for dinner tonight. L x

I'm about to press send when Catherine Jenkins enters my office. I quickly delete the message before giving Catherine my undivided attention.

The meeting is short but incredibly productive. She tells me about the position she has arranged for Louisa at a rival company in Birmingham. She then begins to walk me through the applicants we've received to replace Louisa.

Between us, we decide which we will interview. I struggle to focus though. I keep checking my phone, desperately wanting to message Aurora.

There's a buzz, and wondering if it's Aurora, my hand automatically reaches for it. But it's not from Aurora. It's a text message from my mother.
