And now-
Now nothing feels simple anymore.
I stayed like that for a long time.
Just thinking.
Or maybe not thinking at all.
Because the one thing I knew for sure?
This is not a coincidence.
And it’s definitely not over.
And for the first time in a long time…
I didn’t know what to do next.

Dave POV
Immediately after the meeting
Two hours later, to be precise.
My inbox pinged,
Her team.
Efficient.
They sent everything.
Meeting summary.
Bills.
Next steps.
Clear. Straight to the point.
I stared at the screen for a second.
Because if I’m being honest?
I didn’t hear half of what she said in that room.
Not because it wasn’t important.
But because…
It was her.
Talking.
Standing there.
Looking exactly like someone who had no reason to ever look at me again.
Yeah.
So this?
This document?
Helpful.
Very helpful.
I opened it.
Started reading.
Every move calculated.
Every step ahead of the public, not behind it.
I went through it again.
Because the first time?
I was impressed.
The second time?
I understood it.
And that’s when it hit differently.
I didn’t think of any of this.
Not like this.
And I’m not used to that.

At all.
Nosed the file slowly.
Then opened my laptop again
Time to work.
“Get everyone on the call,” I said.
Within minutes, the screen filled up.
My team.
Different locations.
Different time zones.
