Nathan POV There was a pile of work in front of me. Like every day I came into the office, today was filled with meetings and reports that needed to be read and signed off on. I also had a few potential candidates for campaign manager to interview in the afternoon. But I couldn’t focus on any of it. Because Claire still hadn’t answered my letter. And it was beginning to make me question myself. Had I been too open in my letter? Had I moved too fast? Was she mad at me? Was she hurt or upset in some other way? I just didn’t know, and the wondering was getting harder to push away every single day. Feeling frustrated, and tired of wondering what was going on, I pulled out my phone to send her a text. Just to have it ring as soon as it was in my hand.
