They saw her every day, and I knew I could get at least a little information from them. I had to play it cool though. They couldn’t know how much I was hurting. They might slip when they talked to Jain. This was the first time in my life I’d done an unselfish act, and I didn’t want to mess it up.Todd walked into my office. “Bastion Medical is here.” He studied me closely.“I’m fine, Todd. Did you want to sit in on the meeting?” I knew he was waiting for an invitation.“Sure. I’d like to hear what they think of our ideas for the fundraiser.” He pulled another chair over by the two I’d already placed in front of my desk. He leaned closer. “Will it be hard to see Jain at the fundraiser? When I scheduled it for Valentine’s Day, I had no idea things would work out this way.” I had to keep Todd on board with what I was doing. Otherwise, he’d keep questioning me.
