Florida is on the other side of the country.
Griffin.
What will he say?
What will he think?
I need the job.
It would be a great opportunity for me.
But I love him.
Could we make it work?
That’s quite a long distance but I could fly here whenever possible.
Maybe he could stay with me during the off season.
Anything is possible if we work at it.
Would he want to work at it?
What if he doesn’t want that?
Can I blame him?
I’d be heartbroken.
And then there’s Corrigan.
My best friend.
My ride or die.
Leaving here would mean leaving her.
And she’s with Bodhi so I can’t ask her to split her free time between him and me.

“What do I do?” I ask the girls helplessly.
Each of them stares at me blankly and I can’t help but assume they don’t want to have to tell me what I already know.
Going to Miami might very well mean the end for me and Griffin.
“What does your gut tell you to do?” Scarlett asks.
“Yeah.” Ella nods. “What’s your initial reaction?”
“Um, I guess my initial thought is it would be a great opportunity.”
Corrigan lifts her straw to her lips swallowing back a sip of her drink. “Okay, so does Julie want you to go visit and interview?”
“I don’t know.” I shrug. “We haven’t gotten that far into the conversation.”
“My advice if you want it,” Scarlett explains, “is to go do an interview and maybe a tour. Doesn’t mean you have to take the job. Scope it out and see what you think.”
