Resolution

You promised yourself, Jack. 

You have to do this. 

The blue artist repeated the words in his head, over and over, as he looked down at his phone. He’d gotten Harrison Drake’s personal number from Katelynn, and entered it in – all that remained was to hit ‘Send’.

And he was scared as hell to do it. 

… But not as scared as he was of leaving things as they were between them. 

Jack had no delusions about the two of them becoming friends after just one talk. He knew the businessman didn’t like him, and he still envied Harrison in many ways. But he also knew how much the other man had done for Katelynn – for both of them. And he knew how much the tension between them upset his fiancee. So, over the holidays, when the two of them had been talking about plans for their wedding that spring, Jack had made it his new year’s resolution to clear the air between him and Harrison. 

I may not be a brave man, but I’m brave enough to do this.

He pushed the button, and the call went through.
