nine.”
    “Okay. But, babygirl, don’t drown yourself in work to get over Oliver. Trust me it doesn’t help. I’ve been there.”
    I decided then that I would ask Caige soon who broke his heart. I couldn’t believe I didn’t know about this. I always thought he just wasn’t ready to settle down.
    The next day I got up early and got ready for work. I had gotten several texts from Oliver during the night. I really needed to get a new number. I wanted nothing to do with him and he just wouldn’t get the hint. He could shove his apologies and declarations of love. I didn’t want to hear what he had to say. He made his bed, now he would have to lay in it.
    “Good morning, Skye, you’re here early. You okay?”
    “Yeah I am fine, boss. I have a 9:00 a.m. appointment with a client and wanted to look over the presentation before he gets here.”
    “Are you going to tell me why you cut your vacation short? I know I am your boss but I am a good listener.”
    “Thanks, Jake, I appreciate it. I don’t really want to talk about what happened. I will when I am ready. For now, please cancel my transfer. I am not moving to Colorado.”
    “What? Why not? Oh right, you don’t want to talk about it. Well, I am glad you decided not to go. I love having you on my team and you’re invaluable to this company. I will let the people responsible in Colorado know that you’re not transferring and that they need to find someone else.”
    “Thanks, boss! I knew there was a reason I liked working for you.”
    “You’re a funny one. I am here if you need me, Skye, I mean it. You don’t look too good if I can be completely honest. I don’t like seeing that sad, defeated look on your face.”
    What was it with people telling me that I looked like shit? I already knew that, why did they have to keep rubbing it in?
    I spent my first two hours working on the presentation for my client. I started getting the conference room ready for the appointment and was confident I would nail this meeting. The customer had asked to put together a marketing strategy for their new product. Of course, my boss would toss a vodka campaign my way. I had laughed when he told me I was the perfect fit for the job.
    “Skye, you did an amazing job with this presentation. I will talk to my partners but I think you will be hearing from us soon. I can’t officially say that you got the campaign, but you got the campaign.”
    “Are you serious? Thank you so much, Mr. Logan. I look forward to working with you. I promise this campaign will be a full success.”
    This meeting couldn’t have gone better and with the hours flying by, I was too distracted to think about Oliver. Work was just what the doctor had prescribed. I couldn’t wait for my boss to get back from lunch to tell him the good news.
    “How did it go?” Jake was peeking into my office.
    “Why don’t you take a seat?” I said as serious as I could be. I watched his face fall prepared for bad news. This campaign was a big deal for our company. Our former boss had ruined the reputation of our company by promising things he couldn’t uphold. It was Jake’s and my job to build our reputation back up.
    “Well, I am sitting, now tell me.”
    “I am sorry, Jake. I was so distracted all morning that my head wasn’t in the game.”
    “Skye, I understand we all have bad days but why did you schedule the meeting if you weren’t ready for it yet?” He looked at me confused when I couldn’t stay serious anymore and busted out laughing.
    “Calm down. Mr. Logan said he couldn’t officially say we had the campaign yet, but we have the campaign. We are on board.”
    “Really? Are you messing with me? If you are, it’s not funny.”
    “I am dead serious. We are doing the campaign for the vodka. Although I still think you were trying to imply that I am an alcoholic when you gave me this project.”
    I couldn’t grasp what was happening when Jake came over and hugged me hard.
    “What would I do
