I was anxious and excited at the same time the morning after Ethan's idea. Even if it was initially a calculated action, I hadn't anticipated thinking about getting engaged to Ethan. But the more hours went by and I gave it some thought, the more it seemed to be right.
I talked about numerous projects and future efforts in meetings throughout the most of the day. However, my thoughts kept returning to Ethan and our strategy. By the afternoon, I felt that I needed to talk to him once more to make sure we were both in agreement.
I inhaled deeply and quickly messaged him, asking if he could stop by the office tonight. We ought to discuss the specifics.
"Of course," he said almost immediately. At six, I'll be there.
I was in my office reviewing the rest of my notes when six o'clock rolled along. I was distracted from my thoughts by a gentle rap on the door, and when I looked up, I saw Ethan standing there. His smile was comforting and kind, and it instantly made me feel comfortable.
