Where the Heart Chooses
““It’s Allison.”
“Hello, Allison. How—”
“Please tell me you’re free on March twenty-third!”
“—are you?” I couldn’t remember hearing her so distracted. “What’s going on?”
“Sorry, sorry. State is sponsoring a reception and ball for the ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”
“And?”
“It’s at the Anthony Wayne Convention Center, and they’ve hired Chance for the catering service. If they’re happy with his food—and they should be, he’s amazing!—this will help get his business off the ground.”
“Why do I need to attend?”
“I’m hoping you’ll use him for your next charity event. You said you’d consider him…” She was silent for a moment. “So, are you available?”
“As a matter of fact, I am.”
“And you’ll come?”
“For you, Allison? I’ll be there.”
“God bless you! I’ll e-mail you all the details, darling, but now I have to make more phone calls.”
“Allison.”
“What?”
“Don’t forget to breathe!”
She laughed and hung up.
