Chapter 46: Talking With Sis

“You didn’t see him. He couldn’t wait to get away from me. I must be so repulsive to him.”

“You’re exaggerating. You’ve never thought of yourself as attractive. You are adorable and a force to be reckoned with. That’s quite a combination.”

Fiona knew she should feel better about the whole situation, but her sister’s cheerleading wasn’t helping. Working with Wyatt was the only answer, but she had no idea how that was going to be successful. She’d never stopped loving him, but he’d clearly moved on.

“Thanks for trying, sis.”

Wyatt answered the phone. “Behr Electrical.”

“Wyatt Behr? This is Councilman Fred Murray. We’ve gone through the bids and we have a proposition for you and Miss Franklin. We liked aspects of both of your bids, so we would like the two of you to come up with a combined bid and resubmit.”

Wyatt’s mouth opened and closed for a moment. “If we do this, we get awarded the bid?”

“Yes. Guaranteed.”

“Okay. Have you talked to Fiona?”
