Oddly, I feel the same way… The thought makes me pause.

What happened?

I got fired from HYPE.

Because of the whale rally?

You know about the whales?

I know about everything you’re involved in.

The smile on my face is even bigger as I type.

Creeper.

It wasn’t because of the whales. My boss took a donation from Senator Ryans. She wouldn’t outright admit it, but I think he paid her to get rid of me.

I can have my people look into it, if you’d like.

Don’t bother. Maybe my best bet is going somewhere warm and relaxing for a bit.

A nice, sandy beach? Sounds like heaven.

You could come with me…

I want to unsend the message, but three dots have already appeared.

When are you thinking?

Well, soon, since I’m jobless.

I have a fundraiser in Miami next week. Can we go after that?

Are you seriously considering taking a vacation with me?

Yes, unless you don’t want me to come.

No, I want you to come, but aren’t you doing something important… Like campaigning to become the next president?!

I am, but we’ll make it work.

Now, I have to get back to this meeting. My campaign manager is glaring at me through the window.

You left a meeting to chat with me? I’m honored.

I’d jump on a plane if you asked.

Good to know. Better get back to the meeting.

Talk to you later, Little Fae.

A new message pops up, this time it’s from Felicity.

Felicity

OH MY GOD.

Cordelia just told everyone you resigned.
