.Too much pressure? Too needy? She wasn’t going to do that again!Especially in a small town where everyone talked.She wanted to stay and make the job work.Normally she didn’t fit in so well but her direct manner might just work in Alaska.“I think she’s sizing us up,” Ross said to Tony.“Maybe she’s rethinking any date offers because we’re too weird?” Tony replied.She smiled.“I don’t think it’s weird.Usually women are the ones making it too complicated.My dating experience has been rather random.So Matt is in and out of your lives.Does that mean we wait for him to turn up before we go on a date? That’s fine but I’m not planning my life around a guy who isn’t that interested in me.”“No, I don’t think we should wait.Life goes on here, and he knows it.It might make things a little weird when he shows up, but I think tomorrow night going for dinner would be nice,” Ross said.“Pick you up at seven?” Tony asked her.“Sure, why not?” She wouldn’t mind a nice dinner plus giving Mel and her guys a night of privacy.“So this destination-wedding idea.Are you hitting up the necessary places to make sure they’re on board?” Ross asked.Gretchen sipped her water and was glad to be back on a topic less unsettling.Was she dating two men with an option for a third? That was too odd to think about.“I’ve been trying to get a meeting with the owner of the Sterling Inn.I’ve floated the idea by the bakery, and they’re happy to give a small discount on a wedding cake for a package deal.The discount gets bigger if they have the bridal shower cake and any bachelorette cake done with them as well.So options are good.” She sighed.“A lot of people to talk to,” Tony said.“It is.I’m not even sure I can pull it off.This would be a big project, but I can see who’s interested.You don’t have a wedding planner in town.” Gretchen had asked around and searched.“That’s usually the mother of the bride and the bride around here.The inn has an events planner.But that’s not exactly what you’re talking about.” Ross shrugged.“No.I’m going to approach the photographer and florist.It might be a bust, but it’s worth a shot.We have a venue and all the stuff we really need.Plus the natural attractions.I’m not sure how to angle it for the brides even though we’re not in the harshest part of Alaska,” she said.“Nowhere near.You’re in the luxury spot here in the south.Homer usually gets more of the artsy and tourism crowd.We need to hook onto their line and share,” Tony said.“That’s it.The winery there, and we have a microbrewery here for the men.I can talk to the winery in Homer, and we can cross-promote.Join up the tours, it’ll help their business too.Plus we can add that as an option to our destination-wedding packages.” Gretchen pulled out her phone and made more notes.Tony nodded to the waitress as she brought their food.When Gretchen put her phone away to eat her caribou burger, she noticed him staring at her.“What?” she asked.“You’re definitely the woman for the job,” Tony said.Gretchen sat back.“Did you think it was a pity work offer? That’s the last thing I wanted.Mel and her guys have to put themselves first.”“I didn’t mean that.” Tony backpedaled.“You just weren’t quite this outgoing at the wedding.Friendly, yes, but since you moved here you’ve been more on a mission.”“So I’m too much woman for you?” she teased.“I think you’re just the woman to handle two or three guys.” Ross winked at her.“Being out of work is hard on anyone.It’s depressing and you feel powerless.You can try your best, and the right opportunity might be days, weeks, or miles away.Things happen for a reason.Mel moving to be with her guys was a huge step.I’m taking a chance on this job, and I’m not going to screw it up for lack of effort.” She took a big bite of her burger.It was odd how things seemed fresher and more real here.“Well, you should be safe visiting businesses around Homer and Sterling.If you ever need to contact wilderness guides or any sort of backwoods types, let me know,” Tony said.“You think I can’t handle it?” she asked.Ross reached across the table and put his hand on her wrist.“Seriously.This is live and let live country.Plenty of men stay out in the bush or in mining camps and want nothing to do with the world at large.They interact with others when they want, how they want, and aren’t afraid to pull a gun or a knife on anyone pushing into their territory.Catch them off guard, and you might be shot or cut.”“Definitely don’t sneak up on anyone.Always make noise.It’s good to scare off animals too,” Tony said.“Everyone here carries guns.” She shook her head.“You might be in the relatively safe and civilized part of Alaska, but you’re still not at the top of the food chain without a gun.” Ross smiled.“Guess I still have a lot to learn and plenty of work to do in town and one safe town over.I’m not really a camping girl anyway.I can’t wait for dinner tomorrow night with two handsome guys.” She couldn’t complain about the day she was having.The business meeting had turned into a casual date of sorts.Both the business potential for marketing Sterling and the relationship signals were getting the green light.After such a long time with nothing happening in her life, she felt like things were flowing in the right direction.Tony’s phone beeped [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
