They were all sitting around Charlie's table waiting for him to finish reading the pitch.
They were collectively holding their breath waiting for him to finish. He finished reading and placed the papers on his desk and looked at them.
"I like it. We need to get legal talking to Columbia. Sloan and Don will you excuse us for a minute?" Sloan and Don walked out of Charlie's office leaving Mac and Will.
"This is good. Are they both in and fully committed?"
"They are," Will said.
"Okay. I'll talk to legal and get things moving on that end."
"We need your help," Mac added.
"Doing what," he asked, smiling at Mac.
"The photographer that took Will's headshots, Jeff English, we need to see if you can get him to do Sloan's new headshots."
"Sure, I'll make the call."
"Do we have a budget for wardrobe?"
"Within reason, Mac."
"Thanks."
"Keep moving forward with this, guys. It's a great idea and if we can pull the younger demographic upstairs will be ecstatic."
"Send Don and Sloan in on your way out," Charlie said.
Mac and Will's day finished the day out on a high note with Jane coming to watch the broadcast. Mac spent most of the day researching ideas for Sloan's new show in between meetings for News Night. Will knew she hadn't eaten and offered to take her and Jane out for dinner after the show.
"Good job," Jane said to Will as they walked back toward his office.
"Thanks. You hungry?"
"I am. Have you had dinner?"
"No and I know Mac hasn't eaten since breakfast."
"Did she forget to eat," Jane asked.
"Probably."
Mac walked into Will's office. "Good show."
"Thanks. You hungry?"
"Starving. What's for dinner?"
"What do you want," Will asked.
"Chinese sound good," Mac asked.
"Sounds great. Will?"
"Chinese it is. I'll call Lonny."
"I'll get my things," Mac said leaving his office.
"You need to make sure she eats, Will," Jane said.
She got his attention. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong. But she's working god knows how many hours a week, she's got your show still to produce while creating a brand new show. She's stressed out and if she doesn't eat and take care of herself, or you take care of her, she's going to get sick."
"I'll make sure she is taken care of and that she eats. But, if you notice anything…."
"I'll tell you," she said. "You're a good man, William."
"Ready," Mac asked from his doorway.
"On our way," Will said, his hand on Jane's back ushering her out of his office.
After a delicious dinner they walked around Chinatown showing Jane the area and enjoying themselves. Jane walked on one side of Will and Mac on the other.
"Thanks for dinner," Jane said.
"You're welcome," Will replied.
"When you're feeling a bit more adventurous I'll take you for Dim Sum," Mac said.
"We'll work our way up to that, okay?"
Mac laughed. She really was enjoying having Jane with them. "Were you able to get from the apartment to the hospital today?"
"I did and only got lost once. But while I was lost I found the bakery you were talking about and I had to have a croissant."
"They have the best pastry. I would often stop by there after a run and bring breakfast and the paper back to the apartment."
"Do you still run? I'd love to get a few miles in, if you're up for it and have the time."
"How about early Sunday? I'd love to go," Mac said.
"Would you like to join us," Jane asked Will.
"Really?"
"We'll take it easy on you," Mac teased.
"You know if I come along, so does Lonny."
"He's welcome to join us," Jane said.
"How about I pass this time," he started and held a finger up to Jane when he thought she was going to interrupt him, "and when you move in a couple of weeks I'll go running with you both. I need to spend some time on the treadmill building up to this again."
"You promise," Jane asked.
"I swear. We will leave our beds early on a Sunday morning and go out and run."
Mac smiled at him and said, "thanks," and kissed him.
They made their way home and decided to call it an early evening since they all were up late the evening before working on the pitch for Charlie
