of the hotel. He’d insisted that he take
her back to her hotel, as he could not, in good conscience, let her go alone.
She’d smiled at his gallantry.
“Thank you for joining me for dinner. I had a really good
time,” he smiled.
“Thank you for asking. I can’t believe we’re both here, in
New York, at the same time. Wild!” she said.
Fate? Or just coincidence? he asked himself.
“Have a safe trip home tomorrow, and, I really hope that you
get the job you want.”
“Thank you. Me too,” Nic smiled.
There was a moment of…of something. Paul couldn’t decide
what. Was she waiting for him to kiss her? Was she hoping he would just leave?
Was he looking for a sign? A sign to tell him what she wanted him to do? He
leaned in and softly kissed her cheek.
“Goodnight,” he whispered, and turned back to the taxi that
was waiting for him.
Nic watched him drive away, a hint of red in her cheeks. She
smiled ever so slightly and headed up to her room.

Really? You think I would

Paul,
ARGH!!! The train home
was NOT a good experience. I got to sit by a mother with four kids under six.
Yep, FOUR!!! Ordinarily, I love kids, but these were little hellions for sure. But,
I made it home in one piece, so all’s well that ends well.
Are you back in San
Diego?

Good Morning,
Yes, I’m back in San
Diego and back with my unit. We’re going to do some training exercises with the
Canadian Navy in a few days so it may be a little while without email.
Any word on your
interview?

Paul,
What kind of training
exercises? That just sounds weird. ;) Have fun I guess.
No word on the job. I
think the longer time I go without hearing, the less likely I am to have gotten
it. BUT, I did get a response from another application and they have asked for
my letters of references. That’s a step in the right direction but I’m not
holding my breath or anything.
Have fun doing push-ups
and jumping jacks with the Canadians, eh?

Nic,
Navy Seal training does
NOT involve jumping jacks! You can do those with your kindergarteners. ;)
Actually, I can’t tell you what we’re doing…but we leave this morning. I’ll be
gone for a week or so.
Oh, btw, I found out
yesterday that my official last day as a Seal will be August 12 th .
It seems surreal at the moment, almost like I don’t believe it’s happening. My
mom is thrilled though. J
I really hope that
something pans out for you on the job front. You’ll be so experienced at this
job search thing maybe you can help me find a job. LOL
