“So this morning, after my presentation, Luc came up to me, tried to console me, did that whole putting his hands on my face thing. Maybe he thought it was his chance to sneak in. I brushed him off, and that’s when Michael, Russell and Gabriel walked past. They saw it.”

Nadine shook her head. “No way.”

“Yes way.”

“Shit. Talk about bad timing.”

Tanya nodded her head. “It’s the last thing you needed,” said Nadine, giving her an apologetic look. “That’s the reason you weren’t at my presentation.”

“My ex getting remarried threw me this morning. I guess it was a weird morning anyway. I’ve been feeling out of sorts. I don’t know why. And last night…didn’t quite happen either. I think I wanted it to happen. I have all these feelings, old and new floating around my head. Everything is so unbalanced.”

“There’s a lot of emotional stuff going on for you,” Nadine agreed.

“And now he’s avoiding me completely and I don’t know how to fix it.”

“But fix it you must. So, how are we going to do this?”

Tanya shook her head. “There’s no we in this. I have to do this myself.”

“Sure you do, but if I can help in —”

“You’ve done enough.” Tanya smiled. “I didn’t mean that in a bad way. I just don’t see that we have much time. Not if they’re going to be on the golf range for most of the afternoon.”

“We still have the evening.”

True, they still had the evening and Saturday evening was more relaxed with all the presentations out of the way.

People were eager to let their hair down. She’d have to find a way to get through to Gabriel tonight.
