I felt a sense of relief knowing Sasha was ready to support me.
"But the problem we're dealing with right now is that we're one person short. We need someone who can help us bring everything together," I explained.
At that moment, Shane walked over. He asked, "What about me?"
Sasha and I both turned to look at him, who seemed a bit uncomfortable.
He lowered his eyes and said, "I know I've messed around before and didn't take things seriously, but I've changed. You can count on me. If you're willing to give me a chance, I'll give it everything I've got."
I didn't doubt Shane's sincerity, but I wasn't entirely sure he had the skills we needed.
"You really think you can handle it?" I asked.
The question caught Shane off guard.
Sasha spoke up. "Honestly, he hasn't been involved with work lately. So, I'm not entirely sure about his abilities either."
I took a moment to consider it before suggesting, "Why don't you reach out to your friends? See if anyone has experience with something like this?"
Shane understood where we were coming from.
"Alright, just give me a minute," he said.
"Sure."
The wind howling on the rooftop was loud enough to be a distraction. Concerned it might interfere with his call, Shane moved to a quiet spot and started dialing his friends.
After he walked off, Sasha dropped her voice and asked, "You seriously plan on working with Shane?"
"We don't have anyone else at the moment," I answered.
