Kendra has spent the weekend in a daze thinking about Vance. She’d tried his cell phone over and over again till she felt was being obsessive. It didn’t work because it rang the first time then went voice mail. After that it was just voicemail. She tried to figure out who he’d be staying with but felt that was bringing people into her business. For all she knew he was probably in a hotel or with some friend. Then she decided to text him. She got an instant reply saying he was okay but just needed time to clear his head. She then sent another text asking if the wedding was definitely off. Her fingers shook as she tapped in the letters but she needed to know. Had she been too hard? Too forward?

Me and wife nearly fought everyday arguing over silly wedding things. It can be tough.† At least they were talking to each other Kendra thought. Vance wouldn’t even pick up the phone or leave a voicemail. â€Å"Thanks, it’s just I’m a little overwhelmed.† â€Å"Well I something comes up and I hope you to deal with it.† Jakeem smiled. â€Å"Anyway I just heard through sources that R Barton and Partners might be looking for program management partners to runs a new scheme of their for teenagers. And I want to write a concept idea and proposal so we can put in a bid.† â€Å"But I deal with college interns.† â€Å"I didn’t ask you, Kendra.
