Who cares? If they’re letting you take full creative control of the show, does it matter?
But I can’t help wondering how a deal like this came about in the first place.
“Who reached out to you?” I ask.
Jamie doesn’t miss a beat. “Declan and Callahan Kane.”
“Both of them?”
“Yes. Callahan Kane is doing some consulting work with DreamStream. Said he found out you were pitching a show from a town local and knew his brother would want to get involved since his wife is a big fan.”
A town local?
It doesn’t take me more than a few seconds to piece everything together.
Holy shit. This is really happening.
I must have said the words aloud because Jamie laughs and says, “Yeah. It is.”
I smack my chest to get my lungs working again. “How soon can we meet with them to go over everything?”
Jamie goes into greater detail about the offer, and I diligently listen, my excitement growing with every minute. She hangs up ten minutes later with a promise to send me the revised contract once it is ready.
Now I need to find the town local responsible for all this, and I have a strong feeling I know where he is.
When I decided to move back to Lake Wisteria, I expected Julian to resume his usual position in the business, but I was surprised when he kept true to his original plan. He only works out of his office three times a week now, while he spends the rest of his time managing builds and helping at the sites.
Plus, we’re taking on the Lake Aurora house together as project co-leaders.
I haven’t seen him look this happy since…well,ever.
I open our text thread and send Julian a message.
ME
Are you still in a meeting?
He responds only a few seconds later.
FIRST CHOICE
Nope.
I head to Julian’s office, only stopping to greet Sam before walking inside the private suite and shutting the heavy door behind me.
Julian leans back in his chair. “I thought we agreed not to see each other until lunchtime.”
It was a valiant effort so we could get some much-needed work done before Christmas break next week, but Julian blew that plan to hell the moment he intervened in my life.
I forgo the seat across from his desk and choose his lap instead. His arm hooks around me, and I curl mine around the back of his neck before crushing my mouth against his.
Julian groans as I glide my tongue across his, earning the slightest shiver as a reward. His fingers press into my hips as he deepens the kiss.
No matter how many times he claims my mouth, it always feels like the first time with the way my toes curl and my spine tingles.
He reluctantly pulls back after another minute. “As much as I love the unexpected visit, I have a call in ten minutes.”
I clean the lipstick mark staining the corner of his mouth. “No problem. I only wanted to thank you.”
