Decisions I made The Kiss
Jack smiled as we slowly pulled apart, his forehead still resting against mine.For a long moment, neither of us spoke.The city sparkled behind us, but somehow it felt like we were the only two people in the world.Finally, he chuckled softly."Can I ask you something?"I looked up at him."Of course.""Why did you kiss me?"I laughed quietly."You really don't know?"He shook his head."I'd rather hear it from you."I slipped my hands into his."I couldn't help it."His eyebrows lifted."No?"I smiled."No."I looked out over the lake for just a second before looking back at him."I've been smiling all day.""You have.""I've laughed more this week than I have in months."He squeezed my hand gently."And?""And..." I took a slow breath. "I'm actually enjoying myself."His expression softened."I don't mean tonight."I smiled."I mean... all of this."I motioned between us."Being with you.""I don't have to think about every word I say.""I don't have to worry about upsetting you."
Decisions I made Happiness
The city stretched out beneath us like a sea of lights.Cars moved slowly through the streets far below, their headlights weaving through downtown like tiny streams of white and red. The lake was calm, reflecting the moonlight so perfectly it almost looked like glass.I rested my hands on the stone railing and took a deep breath."I don't think I've ever felt this peaceful."The words came out almost as a whisper.For the first time in months, there wasn't a weight sitting on my shoulders.No fear.No pressure.No wondering what kind of mood someone else would be in.Just...peace.The breeze gently lifted my hair as I closed my eyes for a second, letting myself simply exist in the moment.When I opened them again, I continued looking out over the city, completely unaware that Jack had stopped looking at the skyline altogether.Instead...He was looking at me.Not for a second.Not in passing.He simply stood there quietly, watching me.Watching the smile that hadn't left my face all e
Decisions I made The View
I tightened my fingers around Jack's hand as we followed the softly lit stone pathway."You've been awfully mysterious today."He smiled without looking at me."So I've been told.""You've also been smiling like you know something I don't.""I do."I laughed."That is incredibly unfair.""I know."The path curved around a beautifully landscaped rooftop garden filled with hydrangeas, roses, and lavender. The sounds of the restaurant slowly faded behind us until all I could hear was the gentle breeze coming off the lake and the distant hum of the city below.The farther we walked, the quieter everything became.Then I saw it.At the far corner of the rooftop sat a small wooden gazebo draped in white lights.Beyond it, an observation deck overlooked the entire city.The skyline sparkled in every direction.Lake Erie stretched into the darkness, reflecting the moonlight like polished glass."Oh, Jack..."He looked at me instead of the view."I was hoping you'd like it.""It's beautiful."
Decisions I made The Rooftop
The private elevator carried us quietly to the rooftop level.Neither of us said much.We didn't need to.Every once in a while I'd glance over at Jack and catch him looking at me. He'd smile, I'd smile back, and somehow that was enough.When the elevator doors opened, a hostess was already waiting."Good evening, Mr. Sullivan, Ms. Moretti."She greeted us warmly before leading us through the elegant dining room.The restaurant was breathtaking.Soft piano music drifted through the air while candlelight reflected off crystal glasses. The floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the lake, now painted in brilliant shades of orange and pink as the sun slowly disappeared behind the skyline.Couples talked quietly over dinner.Business executives laughed around another table.Everything felt sophisticated without feeling stiff.The hostess led us past the main dining room to a set of glass doors that opened onto a private terrace.My eyes widened."Oh..."There was only one table.It sat near t
Decisions I made The Look
The afternoon slipped by faster than I expected.I had made it nearly halfway through my book before realizing I had spent more time staring at the lake than actually reading the pages.Every few minutes, my mind drifted back to Jack.His smile.The way he looked at me that morning.The message that simply said, Tonight is important to me.I finally closed the book and glanced at the time.4:15 p.m.He had to be done by now.As if on cue, my phone buzzed.I smiled before I even picked it up.Jack: Mission accomplished.Lela: You survived?Jack: Barely.I laughed.Lela: Was it really that bad?Three dots appeared.Then...Jack: The meetings weren't bad.I frowned.Lela: Then what was?His reply came almost immediately.Jack: Being in the same building as you and not getting to spend the afternoon with you.I couldn't help but smile.That man...Lela: You're ridiculous.Jack: Probably.Another message followed.Jack: I'll be upstairs in about twenty minutes.I looked down at myself.My
Decisions I made I Wonder
I settled deeper into the oversized lounge chair, adjusted my sunglasses, and opened my book.The rooftop pool was peaceful.The gentle sound of the waterfall blended with quiet conversations, soft music drifted through the speakers, and every now and then a light breeze rolled in off the lake, making the white curtains around my cabana sway.It was exactly what I needed.For the first time in months, there wasn't a deadline staring me in the face.No vendor reports.No meetings.No phone calls from Ron asking me to fix someone else's mistakes.Just a good book, warm sunshine, and a weekend that already felt like something out of a movie.I had barely finished one chapter when my phone buzzed.Jack: Conference speaker number one has already gone twenty minutes over. Save me.I couldn't help but laugh.I quickly texted back.Lela: I thought you said you had to be professional.Less than a minute later...Jack: I'm texting under the table.I shook my head, smiling.Lela: You're terrible
Decisions I made Questions
"Where is Jack taking you for dinner?" Mom asked as we walked toward the mall entrance.I smiled."Pier W."Mom stopped so fast I nearly walked right into her."What?"I laughed."Pier W."She just stood there staring at me."The Pier W?""Yes, Mom."For a moment she didn't say anything.Then she g
Decisions I made Shopping
Friday morning arrived much earlier than I would have liked.My alarm went off at six, and for a few seconds I just lay there staring at the ceiling.The events of the night before slowly came back to me.Dinner with Mom and Dad.The interrogation.The shopping trip I had somehow been volunteered f
Decisions I made Dinner with my parents
"Okay," Dad said as he leaned back in his chair. "Let's talk about this Jack guy."I groaned."Do we have to?""Absolutely."Mom laughed."We definitely have to."I shook my head."There's really not much to tell."Dad pointed at me."Start with what you know."I thought about it for a moment."Wel
Decisions I made Thursday Night
Thursday nights were usually predictable. Chris would have another dinner meeting with clients, another networking event, or another reason he couldn't be home. Over the years, I had stopped asking questions. Sometimes the meetings were legitimate, sometimes they weren't, and sometimes I simply did
