340 Lunch With Lance (Winona)

I'm at my favorite café, waiting for Lance. After everything with Phillip, I'm hoping this is argument free. The sun is shining, and I'm in control again-at least for now.

I text Lance to see if he had some time. I may as well get this over with as well. I told him I'm going to Europe at the end of this week.

The door swings open, and there he is, his easy grin and relaxed posture unchanged.

"Hey, stranger," he says, sliding into the chair across from me. "You look like someone who's just made a big decision."

"I have." I smile, signaling the waiter. "I just told Phillip I'm out. Offer him the business."

Lance raises his eyebrows. "Oh, I was talking about Europe. So, the whole business? Just like that?"

"Just like that." I shrug. "I'm done, Lance. I've been done for a while, but it's official now. It's time to move

on."

He smiles, crossing his arms. "Damn. You've always had your hand in something. You going to be a kept woman? You know that's my dream job..." I laugh. "Jealous?"

"Hell yeah."

T

"Not a kept woman exactly. I have my own bank account you know," I reply. "But not actively working. I 'want to focus on my family. That's what matters now.

The waiter comes over, and we order lunch. Lance watches me, a spark of curiosity in his eyes. "Cutting ties with Phillip completely though, huh?"

"Yep, it's time. Phillip's working with Judy now at Brennan Industries a lot and that gets in my head. I can't work with someone I don't trust."

Lance nods. "I get it."

"Now, I'm focusing on what matters."

"Good for you," he says, his voice softer. "I'm glad you're finding your way."

We sit in silence for a few moments, but it's comfortable, familiar. Lance is like that-steady, always there. He's crazy and unpredictable but that's the steady part of him. He doesn't change. Finally, he clears his throat, his voice dropping.

"You know... about hall pass week," he starts, his tone careful, "I just want to say, I meant what I said. I'm sticking to my word. That night was what it was, and it stays in the past. You can trust me on that."

I nod slowly, taking in his words. "I appreciate that. I needed to figure things out, and you were there. But it was a one-time thing."

He chuckles softly. "I know. But, for what it's worth, I'm glad I could be part of that for you. And I'll never
