HARPER
My fingers haven't stopped working for I wasn't sure how long now, I just knew I couldn't stop. Not yet. Not even as I felt the inevitable cramp coming on. I was so close.
"Come on," I mumble under my breathe, glancing quickly at the time at the bottom of the screen.
A couple more sentences... And...
There we go, baby!
I sent the email just on time with a smash of the enter key. Phew, that was a close call. I almost didn't sent that signed contract before the deadline.
Ever since I got in extra early this morning to catch up on the work I've pushed back to accommodate that trip to London, I haven't stopped fussing over everything even for just a second. Between the two very strong cups of coffee and that everything bagel I chomped on on the way here, my stomach was empty and instead was just housing a tight ball of tension.
Right as I was about to check my list for the next thing to do after that contract, I saw my phone light up with a call.
Lily, the caller ID displayed.

"My girl...?"
"Yes. Ronnie. She's such a charmer, that girl. And so sweet too, defending you and wanting to pack those tarts because you love them— oh! I had to stop myself from swooning."
Lily was still gushing about Ronnie, but I couldn't process what she was actually saying. I was still hung onto the fact that Ronnie was at the manor. With my dad no less. And he was mad about something?
"Why was she there?" I physically shook my head in confusion. I had this feeling churning in my stomach telling me it wasn't for something good.
"I don't really know the specifics, sweets. But it got pretty heated quick. Don't worry, your girl held her own. She just has this confidence to her that ma—"
