thought I was the one pumping her for information. Then I start to feel suspicious, “Look, I hope you aren’t playing me and going to head straight back to her with what we have discussed. Can I trust you?”
     
    She gasps, “Harrison! Of course, you can trust me. I have told no one of our running into each other, the least of which Marion. I just think you are a great guy and I would hate you to make a mistake that could haunt you the rest of your life. Its none of my business really, I know that. I must seem like a terrible friend for meddling and planting these seeds of doubt. Just forget I said anything.” She then slides off the cement wall we are sitting on and gathers up her things.
     
    She turns to me, “Really, I am sorry I said anything. I have to run, congrats on the big coup on that building! That is super exciting…I can’t wait to see your name in the papers,” she waves her hand through the air, “I can see the headline now, ‘Harrison Towers…Mega Mogul signs another multi-billion deal!”
     
    “Oh stop…however, thanks for your vote of confidence. Don’t be sorry you said anything. You just gave me a lot to process. You know I already have a lot to consider with her. I know deep down there is another path I am supposed to take. It’s time for me to have a serious talk with myself. I have ignored it and put it on the back burner for far too long. Thanks for pointing that out and congratulations to you too! In just another week you will have some more letters to stick behind your name!”
     
    “Thanks Harry. I do have to run. I will be interested to know what you decide. Keep in touch. As soon as I graduate next week, I am heading back home to take a few months off before I start teaching in the fall. I won’t be able to do coffee anymore so you’ll have to drop me an email from time to time.” She smiles, “And please do not give up on finishing your degree. You have come this far, I would hate for all your real estate successes to stand in the way. It would be good to fall back on should your ventures not carry you where you want to go.”
     
    “Spoken like a true educator.”
     
    She blushes.
     
    I give her a sideways hug and then as she starts to head off, “Addy, thanks for all of your time. I think I have a new perspective thanks to you.”
     
    She whips her head around, “Uh oh! I hope I didn’t say too much or misguide you. Honestly, Harry, I have never been in love…only had crushes. I don’t know what it is yet, but I imagine when I do fall in love, it will knock me over the head and I will feel it radiating through my entire being. Anyway, gotta run. Take care and good luck to you!”
     
    “You too!”
     
    I watch her walk away with a lift to her step. After a bit, her figure is out of my sight but I remain sitting with my face toward the sun. With this real estate deal making me more money than I had planned, my timeline has accelerated by a year. I now know what I am going to do.
     

     
     

Chapter Seven
     
    I am flying back to Montreal today . There is a lot on my mind… I need to discuss the future of mine and Marion’s relationship with someone.
     
    Getting to know Adelaide has completely turned my world on axis. I really am quite sure if I marry Marion, it may be the biggest mistake I could ever make in my life. Being this unsure about a life decision, leaves me with no other option.
     
    Marion and I have known each other since we were kids. It is only natural that we should end up as a couple one day. Our families have been pushing for our union ever since we were young. It never occurred to me that there were other choices I could make and alternatives to marrying her. Until now.
     
    After I make my way through customs, I grab my cell out of my pocket.
     
    “Hi, I just made it into town. Can you meet me at Seven Bistro in thirty minutes?”
     
    “Yes, it is important. Okay, thanks father.”
     
    If there is anyone I need solid advice from
