Clay's first stop that morning was personnel to pick up the requisite forms for one employee marrying another, then headed up to his office ready to start his day. Everything was going as expected until his desk phone rang.
He looked at the name on the caller ID, and took a deep breath. Joan Campbell. This was it.
"Good morning, Joan," he tried to be as cheerful as possible. "Good morning, Clayton." She knew, it was in her voice and Joan didn't let him get a word in edgewise, "Annie came to see me this morning." "Did she?" Clay decided to play stupid. "You finally did it, didn't you? You poached my agent." Clay could hear the slightest tinge of humor in her voice. "That's a way to put it, yes." He smiled despite himself. "Congratulations." "Thank you."
Short sweet and to the point. Much different than what he expected. They'd have to have at least a small reception for those that had been a party to their whole relationship. It was the right thing to do.
At 11, Clay made his way down to the Starbucks in the food court, and waited for Annie.
