Leah fidgeted with the two envelopes while she waited for the credit card call to go through. When the connection was made she smiled to hear the voice on the other end.
Jack Lawrence.Fire your secretary? Leah asked, amused.
Who is this? Now the voice sounded irritated.
Touchy, touchy, Jack. It's Leah, back from the dead one more time.
Leah! Back from the dead' is right. I've been trying to reach you for a month. What have you been up to this time?
Don't ask, pal. Listen, did you file that paperwork and do you still want me? She leaned back and looked at the two letters she held.
You mean you're finally ready to take me up on my offer? She laughed at the disbelief in his voice.
Yeah, Jack. I'm done being everybody but me. So if you still have room for me... She waited for his answer.
Hell, yes! How soon?That depends... can you get a couple of the guys to come help me get out of DC?You went back to DC? Oh, Leah, did you... She cut him off.
Jack, just, please. Send the guys; tonight, if possible. I need to go before I can't, okay? She sighed and held one envelope, letting the other drop in her lap.
Are you sure you know what you're doing? The concern she heard in his voice warmed her.
Yeah, Jack, she said as she smiled to herself. I know exactly what I'm doing.
