Page 81 of Choosing Us

Me

Weird, I was going to text you the same thing this morning.

Jack

What do you need?

Me

You texted me. You go first.

Jack

The whole finance department is a shit show. Wells heard a rumor that our CFO is on a short list for a new start-up founded by a few of his tech buddies. What is it going to take for you to consider coming to Lux and helping out? For real. Tell me what you need.

Me

To just consider it?

Jack

Yes. That’s all I’m asking.

Me

Perfect.

Jack

…What favor were you going to text me about?

Me

I want to take Harlow to see the Northern Lights this fall. It’s a dream of hers, so I thought I could surprise her with a once-in-a-lifetime getaway. Do you still have that place in Iceland?

Jack

Yeah, there are a few producers and a recording facility there we custom built for them. I can have Jett look into it, not sure what’s all booked for recording. When are you thinking?

Me

The internet says fall until early spring, so maybe late this fall?

Jack

I’ll have Jett follow up with you directly—but only if you promise to consider joining us, for real. I need people I can trust, Ryan. This last month was just fucking insane.

Me

I know, and I promise, I will give it real thought… and then we can have a discussion.

Jack

Deal.

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

“I guess I didn’t realize you two were friends?” Ryan is trying to play it cool, but these Callahan men are protective of their sisters, and I love to see how easily their instinct extended to Cami.
