Megan felt frustrated. Why couldn’t he have said that in the beginning? Why couldn’t he have said that when it counted? Despite her indignation, she was still touched by it. It was the kind of thing she wanted…. no, needed to hear.
“Meg?”
“I’ll tell you what,” she said. “I’m going to take some time and I’m going to think about it.”
She thought the news would upset him, but he was actually enthused by it.
“Take all the time you need,” he encouraged. He then told her where she could find him if she came to a conclusion. Megan was pleasantly surprised to learn that he didn’t live far from Kylie. In fact, she could drop in on him right now if she so desired. However, that would be too easy.
