Twenty-six

It wasn't until the following morning that it really sank in that I would finally have that free time I'd been wanting. I was savoring that fact during my breakfast when the phone rang. I was tempted not to even check to see who was calling, but my curiosity got the best of me because I thought there was a chance it might be Kit. I was sorry I'd looked when I saw Roland Defrain's name come up. I had no idea why he was calling. Surely it was too soon for him to need my services again. Whatever it was, I had no intention of finding out until I'd had at least two weeks of R-and-R.
