His One and Only

He sighed. “I applied for an art teaching position at Orange Coast College.”


“Really?” She clutched his hand. “That close?”


“Yeah, I’m not going anywhere. I want to continue to help you, even if you do sell this place.”


She smiled. “That would be wonderful. I missed you when you lived away. I know it wasn’t really that far, but with traffic and all, well, it got to be kind of a pain to go see you.”


He kissed her forehead. “I know. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to make a quick phone call.”


She waved her hand. “Go ahead. Is this to Mark?”


“You really like him, don’t you?’


Drew walked back around the counter and slipped out the door of the shop. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, but still the parking lot was nearly empty.
