figured it best to spit it out now. The firm that hired me is looking for another lawyer. I may be able to get them to look at you. It could be a great opportunity for both of us.”
I look at Brian the whole time Frank is talking, hoping I can see what he’s thinking. His face is like stone though, so I can’t. I was hoping he’d be smiling and excited about the chance.
“Frank, this is something I need to think about and talk with Donna about, but by the grin on her face, I’m guessing she thinks it's a great idea. Let's talk more about it later.”
“No problem. Let me know soon,” Frank says.
It’s hard to say goodbye tonight because I don’t want to leave Shawna, especially with the news of her moving so far away. But Brian promises we’ll see them again before they move.
Once in the car, he wastes no time grabbing my hand. All day, he touched me every chance he got, even if it was only a brief kiss to the head. “Donna, I know it hasn’t been easy having Shawna move away and now hearing she’s moving even farther. I don’t want to get your hopes up, but I’d like to apply for a job at the same law firm as Frank. We need to talk about if my leaving my dad’s firm is what’s best for us in the long run. You’ll always come first. I need you to know that. We’re a team, so we need to make this decision together. Not to be closer to Shawna. We need to do what is best for us.”
That would be so freaking awesome! I don’t say that out loud even though I really want to. What he’s saying about not making the decision to be closer to Shawna is true, but that doesn’t help the sad feeling that she’s moving away and his dad doesn’t want us together. I want Brian in my life, but I can’t be the reason he loses his parents. I never thought I’d be in this position. If Brian has to choose between his parents and me, I’d consider moving to Wisconsin without him because I won’t make him pick one of us. I’d constantly be worried that he’d end up resenting me.
“I know you’re talking about leaving your dad’s office, but it won’t be easy. Even if you do, it still doesn’t make it easy to accept my best friend being farther away from me. The last couple of months without her have been hard. She hasn’t been there to help me when our moms are being pushy about the wedding, to hold my hand when I’m crying because I can’t tell them no. I know I have you, but some things we need our girlfriends for.”
Brian squeezes my hand, reassuring me he’s here for me. “I didn’t realize quite how bad our moms were. I don’t want you to deal with that alone. This is our wedding, not just yours, and it should be the way we want it, not our parents. I can start helping with some of the planning. They don’t tend to push me around the way they do you.” He brings my hand up to his lips and kisses my knuckles.
He’s the sweetest man I know. He’d do anything for me.
“Can we stay in town tonight? I need to get some things off my chest, but I don’t want to do it while we’re driving.” I pray that he says yes.
“Sure. I was hoping you wouldn’t mind, but I already reserved a room at this bed and breakfast about thirty minutes away. I wanted to be somewhere cozy.”
God, does this man think of everything? “That’ll be wonderful. Hopefully, we can get some relaxing in tonight and not only talk about life.”
“I don’t plan on us talking all night. After you hear what I have to say and see what I want to show you, you’ll be pissed, but I need you to have an open mind and make your own opinions on what you’ll see. I want your honest thoughts.”
I’m beginning to wonder if I can watch this video. Seeing and hearing the little I did in person was bad enough. I don’t want to see more, but I have to so I can know beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn’t my Brian in the office with Janice. Why couldn’t Brian tell me all of this before he had evidence? I know he said
