“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Faith said, ending the call.

“Good luck,” Mark said.

Faith got up and dusted off the dirt from her knees. “Fingers crossed.”

As she drove to the apartment complex where Destiny was working, Faith couldn’t fight off the bad feeling she got from the text.

Destiny was waiting and jumped into the truck when Faith pulled up. She leaned over the console and kissed Faith on the lips. “I’ve got to tell you,” she said, buckling her seatbelt, “I don’t have a good feeling about this.”

Faith looked over at her and widened her eyes. “I don’t either!”

“I can’t imagine why he’d want us back at the site.”

“They were doing the last presentations this morning,” Faith said. “I figured they’d be meeting to decide on who won the bid.”

“Yeah, me too.” Destiny reached for Faith’s hand and pulled it into her lap.

Faith squeezed Destiny’s hand and smiled over at her. At least they were facing this together. “They’re about to find out that we lead our companies by working. I hope they don’t mind sweat.”

“I think you look absolutely beautiful,” Destiny said with a big grin. “We were very sweaty last night.”

Faith chuckled. “You liked how we got sweaty.”

“Yes, I did,” Destiny said.

“Me, too,” Faith replied. “Mark commented that it felt like old times with the three of us having lunch on site.”

“Yeah, it did.”

“I told him we were not letting anyone or anything get in the way of our happy life together,” Faith said, glancing over at Destiny.

“That’s right.” Destiny kissed the back of Faith’s hand. “Mmm, salty.” She grinned at Faith.

Faith chuckled. “He asked me what was going to happen with our companies.”

“Yeah, we didn’t get around to talking about that last night,” Destiny said.

“I explained if we win the bid that we’d all be working together and we’d go from there.”

Destiny nodded. “That makes sense.”

Faith could feel Destiny’s eyes on her and quickly glanced her way. “What?”

“Neither one of us has said it, but we’ve always wanted to run our company together.”

“I’m thinking the same thing, darling.” Faith squeezed Destiny’s hand and smiled.

“Maybe this will be the first of many jobs for Fields of Green,” Destiny said.

“Oh, I hope so,” Faith said, pulling off the interstate and onto the road to the construction site.

Faith and Destiny walked into the main building and saw David talking to two other people at the reception desk. He smiled and waved as he excused himself and walked over to greet them.

“Hi,” he said. “Sorry to pull you off a job.”

“No problem,” Destiny replied.

“What’s going on?” Faith asked, unable to contain her curiosity.
