Chapter 9

All he said in reply was, “How long?”

I shrugged. “I was aiming for a week before deciding if I had to move on.”

“Very good. I’ll get in touch with you this time next week.”

I smiled slightly. “So class is dismissed for now?”

“It is. Unless you want to talk sports or what have you.” He grinned, so I knew he was kidding.

“I’ll expect a call in a week,” I said, getting up.

“Zane. I hope you make the right decision.”

“For you? Or for me?”

“For both of us.”
