Billy grabs his stomach. “What do you think this is?”
“That’s by choice.”
Billy meets her gaze. “I stand by my overreacting pregnant woman idea.” But his smile says he’s joking, and Annie shakes her head, letting it roll off her back.
“We don’t have a lot of time to portray this. Are we better pitching ideas for three different commercials that will run in rotation? We could have three drastically different couples.” I place the sketchpad on the table.
“I think if we did them separately, we’d lose the feel that Annie’s suggesting, but yeah, the time constraint is gonna be an issue,” Billy says.
I walk over to the window to think for a moment. “Maybe we concentrate on one family.” I turn around. “Like your family,” I say to Annie.
“Um…”
“I’m not saying your family specifically.” The fear in her eyes that I’d exploit her family for an ad campaign stings, but I brush it off. “We show how everything isn’t perfect between all members within the entire family.”
Her cheeks flush, matching the shade of apricot in the roses I sent her.
For the next two hours, we shoot ideas around and Annie sketches a few more ideas. Billy adds to them.
When we part ways, I’m surprised by how far we got. Who would’ve thought we’d be such a great team? I’ve always worked exclusively with Billy, but I don’t think either of us can deny how much Annie contributed to this pitch. I definitely underestimated her. I can’t wait to see what other surprises she has in store for me.
