you found Drew.
Isabel wiped her tears away, "Thanks, Mom, I am too."
Camille reached up and caressed the side of her face. "You should bring him up to Philly one weekend. Dane would love to meet him."
"I may just do that."
Camille wiped a tear away, "No more tears, Sweet Izzy. We will call when we stop for the night okay?"
Jack walked over and put his arm around Isabel's waist. "Do I see tears?"
Isabel just smiled at them both, "They're just 'miss-you-both' tears. Everything else is perfect! I will chat with you tonight."
When Jack and Camille had left, Isabel felt extreme sadness. Isabel turned to Drew, wrapped her arms around him and held him tight. "Sorry, I am getting your shirt all wet."
Drew just pulled her back into him, "Baby, you can cry as long as you need. I imagine it is hard being away from them. You all are so close."
She leaned back and looked into his eyes, "I keep telling myself it will get better... easier. I am not sure I fully believe myself though. You have definitely helped with making the days better."
She leaned up and kissed him, with their arms around each other they walked side-by-side into the house.
CHAPTER 8
The week started off crazy for Isabel. This was starting to be pattern with her. Since Drew was at the station all week, she stayed at her cottage. On Thursday she walked into her cottage at 11:30 PM and plopped down on the side of her bed. She was thinking, "One more day and then the weekend... finally."
She was just putting on one of Drew's t-shirts and a pair of cotton shorts, when the phone rang. "Hi, Baby!"
Drew loved hearing her voice, "Hi, Sweet Izzy! You sound tired."
"This week was crazier than last week. I am so excited it's almost the weekend. Do we have plans?"
Drew loved how she said that, do 'WE' have plans. "Plans to be with you, in my bed, all weekend long."
Isabel just smiled, "That sounds like a perfect weekend to me."
Drew laughed, "I had a feeling you wouldn't argue. Would you like to meet my family on Sunday for dinner?"
Isabel was immediately excited, "Of course, that sounds great. Will your brothers be there too?"
"Normally just Alex is unable to attend, but he will be in town this weekend. My Mom is so excited to meet you."
Isabel yawned, "Awwww, she is so sweet. It sounds like a date."
"Okay. It sounds like you may fall asleep talking to me. Get some rest, Gorgeous."
Isabel just sighed, "Night love!"
At around 4:00 PM on Friday, after Isabel had been at work for just two hours. She was called into her News Director's office. She had no idea what it was all about, and she was feeling a bit nervous.
Tom, the News Director, was sitting at his desk when she knocked on his open door. "Come on in, Isabel, and take a seat."
"Yes, sir." She immediately had butterflies in her stomach.
"I got a call from your old station in Philly."
Isabel looked a bit shocked, "You did? Is everything okay?"
Tom just smiled, "They're making some changes to their morning show, and would love to have you as one of the main morning anchors."
Isabel was speechless, she just looked at Tom. When she finally found her voice, "um, really?"
"I thought you would be excited. You have mentioned you miss Philly. I would hate to lose you, but this is a great opportunity for you."
Trying to find the right words, she said, "I do miss home. I'm really happy here, too. Can I think about it, Sir?"
"Of course. They would like to fly you up there next Wednesday, and talk to you personally."
Isabel had no idea what to do. How she would tell Drew? This was a great opportunity, but what about Drew? Shit, shit, shit. With her head down, then looking back up, "That sounds fine."
Isabel was walking back to her desk, her head spinning. How could this be happening now? Why not two months ago,
Isabel wiped her tears away, "Thanks, Mom, I am too."
Camille reached up and caressed the side of her face. "You should bring him up to Philly one weekend. Dane would love to meet him."
