Chapter FIFTEEN

MEREDITH

Waking up to find my sexy new husband’s head between my thighs had been quite thrilling. Sitting in the seat beside him on his private aircraft while he studiously ignored me?

Not so much.

I wasn’t being fair.

He had work to do. And if that wasn’t a reminder for me to notify my bosses I was leaving, hopefully transferring to one of their locations in the city, I wasn’t sure what was.

I went to my email app and sent a quick letter to my boss, explaining my sudden marriage and move to NYC.

Josef had explained he worked out of his Manhattan apartment, and that was where we would both be living.

He was rich, yeah, but I enjoyed my work. He hadn’t mentioned me quitting, so I was not about to bring it up.

My job as an intake counselor was meaningful and brought me solace. It gave me a purpose beyond myself, and I’d met so many wonderful people. People who really cared about people and tried to make a difference.

God knew, I tried.
