Laurie was sound asleep, and I wondered if she would enjoy a trip to the mall with me. I heard the front door open. Within seconds, Jim was in the kitchen picking me up in his arms.
“My God! What’s going on?”
He kissed my face all over. “I love you, I love you, I love you!”
“I love you, too,” I said. “What’s going on?” I repeated, then added, “And shhh, you’re going to wake the baby.”
“She can be awake! We’re a family! Go get her, get her, get her,” he said excitedly, running his words together so they sounded like “gethergethergether.”
“I’m not going to wake a sleeping baby,” I said firmly.
Jim laughed. “Come on.”
“No, I’m not,” I said sternly, trying to hold back my laughter.
“Okay, okay, okay,” Jim said, disappointed. “Guess what?” he asked, excited again.
“The interview went well?” I asked hopefully.
“Forget the interview,” Jim said.
“What?”
Jim took a deep breath. “Dirk Jonson called me. I got the account!”
My stomach flip-flopped.
“It’s big, Kate. The account is big,” Jim said, a smile crossing his face. “In fact, it’s huge! We’re set for at least a year. Look at this.” He pulled the contract out of his briefcase.
My eyes nearly popped out of my head. “What does that mean?” I said, indicating the six-figure number on the page.
“That’s the amount I’m going to get paid. Me. Not the firm that fired me. But me.”
I nearly choked. “You’re going to get paid this amount? For what?”
“For doing what I always do. Creating an ad campaign. I’ve already come up with a lot of it. Check out my proposal.”
Jim flipped through the pages of the contract, until he got to some pictures.
“Oh, my God. My husband’s a genius!”
Jim laughed. “The genius part was getting fired from my old firm.”
“Getting fired turns out to be a good thing?”
“I’ll make four times as much as an independent contractor.”
“Does this mean I don’t have to go to the office on Monday?”
Jim smiled. “That’s right, honey,” he said, stroking my hair. “That’s exactly what it means.”
