Margo would need to fly out to meet with web designers and computery people, but Dr. Guinn and I would be the face of the business. Once my face healed, of course! I hoped Dr. Guinn would give me enough time to heal. Otherwise, we’d have to get a really great makeup artist for our photo shoot for the cover of Tech Universe magazine (which might not be a magazine, but if it’s not, we could create that, too).

“I think it’s a very ambitious project,” Dr. Guinn said.

“Thank you,” I said

“Maybe . . . too ambitious?”

“I don’t understand,” I said.

Dr. Guinn stood up and started pacing behind her desk. I tried not to watch her, because the movement made me dizzy, especially with all the penguins around the room. “Life coaching is, well, there’s a lot to it. Not only do you have to invest in the concept, there’s so much to learn about business. Adults study years to become a coach. My own coach took a Buddhist vow of silence for a season. Then you add the technology component and . . .”

I held out a hand. “Excuse me, Dr. Guinn?”

She stopped pacing. “Yes?”

“I’m so excited that you have a life coach of your own. And whew! You are right. There’s so much to learn.”

“Exactly.” She smiled. “I want this to be fun, not overwhelming.”

“But Dr. Guinn. I already am a life coach. I have eleven to thirteen clients, based on schedules. I’ve been in business for months. I’ve met many important business people, like Michael Morales.”

“Who is Michael Morales?” she asked. Which is fine, because she was new.

“He’s a big deal. His face is on park benches. But anyway.” I changed out my tissue for a new one. “I already have a base. And I would build this app even without the Passion Fair. It’s a logical next step.”

“And you’re doing this alone?”

That word, alone, was not fun. If Shelley had just done this project with me, I wouldn’t have had to deal with that word. Or be quite as mad about Colt. Or Margo could have done it with me, although her situation I understood because Margo was the only person I knew who was more motivated than me.

“And you know you have to do this in a month?” she asked.

It did seem like a lot right then, but that was probably just because of the whole swollen-face thing. My normal face would be really confident. “In one month, I’ll probably be a podcast celebrity, too.”

Dr. Guinn looked at me for a very long time. Other people might be uncomfortable with the amount of time she looked at me. Part of the reason I didn’t mind was because I really believed in my passion project. Also, I’d lost a lot of blood and was feeling a little dizzy.

“Okay, okay! I see that your passion on paper exists in real life, too. You have my support.” Dr. Guinn nodded at me. “I’m very excited to see what you come up with, Willis.
