Irene Hannon - All Our Tomorrows

“Assuming the Uplink people get back to us right away, that shouldn’t be a problem,” Tess assured her.

“Okay. Let’s shoot for that. But that deadline isn’t written in stone. We can shift it later if necessary.”

“Got it. Anything else?”

“No. That should do it. Let me know if you run into any snags.” Caroline turned back toward her computer.

“Will do. How’s the budget coming?”

Grimacing, Caroline shook her head, her focus still on the screen in front of her. “I didn’t go into journalism to crunch numbers,” she grumbled.

“Somebody has to do it. And better you than me.”

With a mirthless grin, Caroline waved her out. “Thanks for the sympathy.”

“At least the budget will distract you from the nasty letters we’ve been getting about that story we ran on the group home for juvenile offenders,” Tess offered as she exited.

“Good point.” Though the article had been straightforward and objective, neighbors of the home had chosen to view it as an endorsement. They hadn’t appreciated that, and had been very vocal in their disapproval of the paper’s perceived position.

If the budget work distracted her from that can of worms, maybe there was a plus to it, Caroline conceded. And she’d be even more grateful if it distracted her from David. She didn’t want to think about him anymore. Despite his calm, in-control demeanor, his presence in her life had been disruptive. For reasons that eluded her, she couldn’t seem to quash thoughts of him. Maybe crunching numbers would do the trick. That would require her absolute and total concentration.

And for some reason, she had a feeling it would take something that attention-demanding to keep thoughts of David at bay.
