Chapter 30

• PUBLIC DISPLAY
• It's been a long day. Maybe I should try Poppy’s orgasm meditation to reenergize myself. That girl is hilarious, and she does make the workplace a lot more entertaining. Sitting in my office, I take my list from my purse and lay it flat on my desk. Looking at it, I wish I’d made more progress. My cell phone rings and I roll my eyes, thinking this is exactly why I haven’t got more stuff checked off. Something always pulls me away. This time it’s my brother Gage. He needs me to bring some files back to Savannah. He tells me where I can find it in his office, and I head down the hall.
• I don’t know why he just doesn’t have it faxed or scanned, but I don’t bitch too much about it because I know he’s feeling torn between work and family. I fetch the file, hang up, and then walk back to my office. I step inside to find Mateo standing in front of my desk, his fingers on the list.
