the requested refreshments. They each poured their water in silence, drinking a full cup in the same manner before they turned to each other and acknowledged that they were ready to work.
It wasn’t necessarily a disappointing end to the plane ride. There was still the trip back to Chicago, not to mention the time they’d spend in Summit together.
James cleared his throat and began to relay the information about their potential newest client. This was the easy part. Talking business with Jennifer was always a pleasure because she kept herself so knowledgable about their industry, trade, and practices as a consultating firm.
They created a list of information they would need to make certain reports that would reveal the information needed to sway the rest of the board members. If all went well, James believed they could be back in New Jersey at the beginning of the following week to make a presentation and seal the deal. That thought excited him.
He didn’t need their little contract, although he was certain he’d get it. He just liked visiting his old home. It put his mind at ease when he came back. He was certain that Jennifer couldn’t know that about him, but he frequented New Jersey often. There were even some months when he went back as much as every weekend.
Of course, whenever he was in town, his heart ached to see his old friend, Melony Richards, but there was nothing romantic there. They had gone to school together and had remained the closest of buds ever since. If there was any other woman on earth who might have known him as much as Jennifer did, it was Melony.

The plane landed within thirty minutes after the descent announcement had been made. It was just before 3 pm in the new time zone when they touched down. The time seemed to bother Jennifer, but James wasn’t too worried about it.
James confronted Jennifer with the fact that they would get the hour back when they returned home. After all, Andrew wasn’t back in Chicago so there was really no reason for her to rush back. She was all his for the taking, and that thought brought an ever devlish grin to his face. Jennifer smirked and nudged him in the arm before he positioned himself to decended the two step flight of stairs.
“What’s that grin on your face about?” She asked coyly.
James was startled by how closely she watched him. He smiled at her and said nothing more. They chuckled and he descended from the plane. Jennifer exited after him, handing her suitcase and purse down first. On the flight deck, they stood and looked around. James pointed towards one of the buildings.
“We have a car waiting for us over there,” the wind was rushing past both of them, making it a difficult to hear. He nearly had to shout. The breeze danced with Jennifer’s hair, whipping it about her face. She looked like a goegous model posing liesurly for a shoot. How on earth had he been able to ignore her for so long?
They made their way from the deck towards the pickup vehicle. It was another car much like the one that had chaufferued them from downtown Chicago to the Executive Airport. Inside the vehicle, James slipped his phone from his pants pocket. He hadn’t brought anything other than his wallet and phone from Chicago and felt like he was missing something.
He had only stepped in to town to meet and have a light conversation face to face. He didn’t need anything else for this day trip. Even then, should something arise and documents be needed, he knew Jennifer brought one of the company’s laptops. That would save him in the event a real impromptu meeting was necessary.
They settled into the car quietly, with an easiness falling upon them. The somber nature of their last conversation before business took over seemed to be long forgotten. James hoped it would stay that way. Glancing at the time on his phone’s screen, James held it between his hands and looked to Jennifer.
