Grant and Miranda were exploding with happiness at the news they were having a boy. I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy though. I wanted what they had, but only with Natalie and I knew that was impossible. Still, none of the women who made themselves available to me, held any appeal. Maybe I’d be a bachelor like Al. After his wife, my Aunt Evelyn, passed away he never remarried. He seemed happy enough, I guess, but he didn’t have a choice. His love had died while Natalie was very much alive. It was in the afternoon when the day took a strange turn. I was in the elevator on my way up to my condo from the gym when Gio called. “Hey Gio, what’s up?” “My distributor wants to meet you before sending anymore product your way. You need to get here asap.” “What’s the problem?” “He needs assurances since you’re new leadership. How soon can you get here?” Fuck. It had to be serious if Gio wanted me to drop everything and fly out to California.
