By Saturday night the commercial was complete. It had taken several attempts but Sara believed it was exactly what the senator wanted. Thanks to the talented scriptwriters and the minor adjustments she and Christopher made it truly seemed to explain the importance of the new education initiative and at the same time it managed to urge citizens, regardless of their backgrounds or political views, to contact their own senators and tell them how much they wanted it to pass without sounding as if they were begging the American public. Sara felt confident that this new education plan spearheaded by the senator would pass and solidify his run for a second term.
As she packed, Sara thought about her last few days. While this was not the first ad campaign she had recorded, it had been the most enjoyable. Not because of the work itself but because of the company involved. Every morning they had breakfast together before heading to the studio. Once they completed work for the day, they spent the rest of their free time together. Once they took a drive along the coast. Then another day they spent a few hours on the beach. Each evening they either went back to her hotel room or his apartment for the night. While they spent their nights together, Christopher still focused his attention on learning more about her and sharing information about himself. With him it wasn't just about the physical part of their new relationship. While she enjoyed that aspect, she loved that he genuinely wanted to learn more about her.
And she had a few more days of that to look forward to. This afternoon they were flying up to his place in Alicante, a small town located about an hour from Sacramento. The thought of spending more time with Christopher sent nervous excitement through her body. She wanted to see where things went between them, but even her excitement couldn't wipe out the apprehension she felt. Nothing she learned so far told her she couldn't trust him. Still she continued to hold back a part of herself. She never suspected anything with Phillip either, not until the very end. If she missed the deceit of one man before, it stood to reason she might miss it again.
The best solution as she saw it was not to fall in love too quickly. With Phillip it had been the textbook whirlwind romance. If she fell in love again, she planned to take her time and really get to know the man. So far she figured she was accomplishing that goal nicely.
