* * * *

Renly and I get to the office at one and find Darrin already in the waiting room for our two o’clock appointment. Marge is there, too, and she looks a little harried. I don’t blame her; she’s had to babysit Darrin for an hour.

I shoot her an apologetic glance and force myself to smile, even though I really want to crawl to my office and have a few moments alone. Why the hell don’t people come at an appointed time? Don’t they realize that I have things to do before I’m ready for them?

“Have a good day,” Renly says, and I can hear the sympathy in his tone, though I’m sure Darrin won’t pick up on it. “Call me if Marge needs to leave,” he says, adding her to the conversation. “Otherwise, I’ll be back at five.”

“Sounds good,” I say. “See you then.”

Renly leaves, and I feel a pang of regret as the door shuts behind him. Then I force myself to aim a business-appropriate smile at Darrin. “I’m so glad you’re here. Give me just a little bit to get set up and I’ll bring you in so we can run through the demo.”

He’d been pushing out of his chair as I spoke, and now he settles back down again, looking a little bit frustrated. Well, too bad for him. I’m a little bit frustrated, too. I hurry to my office and fire up my computer. As I’m tapping my desk, waiting for the login screen to show up, Eric slides into my doorway, making me jump.

“I didn’t know you were coming in today.”

He shrugs. “Catchup.” He cocks his head vaguely in the direction of the front office, his thick blond hair gleaming in the lighting. “I saw you had company.”

I roll my eyes. “He’s not supposed to be here for another hour. I have things to tweak before I run him through the demo.”

Eric shrugs. “He’s new at Greystone-Branch. He’s eager to prove his worth.”

I nod. I know he’s right.

“Do you want me to go entertain him?”

“Thanks, but poor Marge is on it. What are you doing here on the weekend?”

“Trying to catch up on all the projects. I know Nikki did me a favor bringing me back, and I don’t want to let her down.”

Eric was hired about the same time that I was, when Nikki first decided she needed to bring on a team to help her with her business. We’d gotten along great, but then Eric had been offered a sweet job in New York. Nikki and I had both been surprised when he left, because he’d been doing so well at her company, and there was so much room for growth. But Eric had stars in his eyes, and they tossed a lot of money at him and offered him all sorts of perks. From what he said, though, it didn’t fit his personality. He was a cog in the machine, and he hated it. He’d come back, and Nikki eventually offered him his old job again.
