Davidson's [POV]
Sofia's sunny declaration feels like a sledgehammer to the base of my skull.
Here I am, seriously considering letting go of the best assistant I've ever had, and she's telling me she doesn't see any future, professional or otherwise, with me beyond eight weeks.
I can't quite process it.
"Should you be telling me about that?" I ask finally.
"Why not? It isn't like you don't know I'm done after eight weeks. Your assistant's coming back, right?"
"Well...yeah. But what are you going to do after that? Seems to me you've still got the same problem. Your family's still going to be pushing guys at you, right?"
She laughs. "I'm only going to marry a man who puts me above everything else. A guy who lets me know how much he loves me and cares about me every day of my life." Her tone is very matter-of-fact. "And I'm perfectly okay with staying single for the rest of my life if I don't find that person."
