“Not really. Is it difficult?”
“I don’t have my real estate license, so I wouldn’t know, but nothing is too difficult for you to achieve. It just matters whether you want it or not.”
My lips part, and I tilt my head, questioning, “Brazen, what made you bring this up?”
“You did so well, handling things while I dropped the ball. I’ve watched you learn everything you can while you’ve been working here. Things are changing a lot for you. You made the move to Florida. You’re going to leave the first place you’ve lived on your own, and now, you’re going to move in with me. It seems natural to think about what’s next for you for work. I love having you here, but you don’t want to be my assistant forever. I need someone to sell that beautiful house when it’s done.”
Wow.
He and Sunday built Brazen Sun from the ground up. It was their dream, and now, he’s asking me to be a part of it. His faith and confidence in me are overwhelming. His natural urge to share his life with me makes me feel adored. I love that he wants me by his side, and I want nothing more than to proudly stand on my own two feet by him.
But a pesky nagging in the back of my head wonders if it’s too soon after Sunday’s death. I don’t want to replace Sunday. I want my own spot in his life.
Still, I find myself saying, “Looks like I’d better hit the books sooner rather than later because that house is almost finished.” It’s the answer I want to give.
“You like the idea?” he asks with so much excitement in his voice.
“I love the idea.” I truly do.
“Sunday would approve of this business move.”
“She would not! She almost had a heart attack when she saw me sitting in this office.”
“That was before. Plus, I fired our newly hired assistant the night I gave you the job. She wasn’t so pleased with me when she saw someone other than the person who had gone through four interviews to get the job. It took her all of five minutes to see exactly why I had done what I did. She knew I was meant to love you.”
“You think?”
I don’t want to replace Sunday. I’d never want that, and honestly, I know I couldn’t. Their bond was different than ours but still extremely strong.
“I know, baby.”
That makes me feel good. This place belonged to Sunday and Brazen, and I never want to take away from that, but he knows her better than anyone, and if he thinks we’d have her blessing, then I’d more than love becoming part of what they built.
I’m ready to conquer real estate and be the best agent I can be.
