“I don’t think that’s what you meant.”
Damn him for being an attentive brother.Could it kill him to ignore her, like most siblings?
“Um, I would like to tell you, but I can’t.”
“You can’t.”
“That’s right.”
“So it’s a work thing.Or a podcast thing?”
“A work thing.”
“So you’ve met the Connors.For a work thing.That you can’t talk about.”
“That is correct.”
“Did you at least ask if they’d be on the podcast?You could get so many new listeners.”
“It would be unprofessional of me to ask for a favor from a client.”
He didn’t respond to her right away, so she checked the connection.
“Grayson?You still there?”
He sighed and answered her.“I’m here.Are you going to see them again for your work thing?”
“I can’t say…”
“Well, if you are, ask them.The worst they can do is say no.”
“Umm, the worst they can do is tell my boss I tried to coerce them into being guests on my podcast.Which could result in my being fired.”
“Would they do that?”
“They might.We’re not friends.This is a working relationship.”
“But what if they said yes?You don’t like your job.Working with the team is your dream.If you get the podcast to blow up, you could do that.It’s worth the risk.”
Daisy didn’t take risks.If she had to choose between a steady income and a dream job, she’d choose stability every single time.She wasn’t good at doing scary things.
“I don’t know if it’s worth it, Gray.”
Grayson sighed.This was a conversation they had way too often.
“You’re going to have to take a risk at some point, Daisy.Or this will be your life.Always waiting until the timing is right.Always wondering what it would be like if you could do what you want.”
He had a point, but she wasn’t ready to make the leap.

“Well, boys, I see you’ve put in some work.Bonding seems to be working.What do you think?”
Hazy shrugged.“I guess, yeah.Hard to tell.We should do more, just in case.”He winked at Connor, and Connor glared back.
