“I still want to be a part of it,” she said.
I nodded. “As long as you agree to work with James.”
She hesitated, then made a face. “I’m going to have to defer to your judgment on that one.”
“Thanks.”
“So…” she said, “You and Malcolm?”
“Me and Malcolm. He’s not who I expected.”
She gave me a tight smile. “I hope you know what you’re doing.”
I had no idea what I was doing, but being with James felt more right than anything ever had. I was going to enjoy it while I could.
