Chapter 18: Chapter Eighteen

*Brielle’s POV*

“Wonderful! Thank you again so much for agreeing to meet with me. Honestly, I know this has to be a challenging time for you and your family and this is the last thing on your mind. I know it is a difficult time for my family. I look forward to our meeting tomorrow. You take care of yourself, okay? Okay, bye then.”

I tap the “End Call” button on my phone and lean back into the seat of my car with a satisfied sigh. Honestly, that was a little easier than I anticipated. I didn’t think he would actually come through but it turns out I am a charismatic miracle worker who knows how to swing a deal with just about anyone.

I smile to myself and let myself enjoy the victory, which is sadly short-lived when I get a text from Jonathan that he is ready to be picked up from the precinct. I grin to myself, thinking for a second how childish it sounds saying that you were ready to be picked up as if you could not drive a car.
