Open Arms (16 page)

“Yeah. It was. You think I’m making this too personal?”

“Well, if you are, so am I. You’re forgetting about Tammy.”

“Tammy?” Julie was puzzled. Her best friend had moved to Denver seven months earlier, and now worked as a freelance clothing designer in the city. She had spent a little over a month at Open Skies after she had been attacked and badly beaten in New York. Tammy and Rob didn’t live together – yet – but they were together in every other sense of the word. They were happy and making it work, and Tammy just glowed with happiness and love every time Julie saw her.

“Yeah. Tammy. Open Skies gave her a second chance, right? It was a place for her to heal and recover and get strong and figure out what she really wanted. The whole reason she’s living in my sister’s rental apartment and designing clothing is because she came here, right? This place brought her new chances and opportunities.”

“And new people,” Julie teased him.

He blushed a bit. “Yeah.”

“Well, OK. That’s all true.”

“So, this place changed your life and it changed Tammy’s. I don’t know why, but I think Open Skies can do the same for Vicky Thompson – I think it can be her new beginning. I even really
want
it to be.” He thought for a second. “I don’t know, Julie. Something about Vicky just really – speaks to me. I feel like this woman needs a break, badly. She needs something to give her a bit of faith.”

“So, what are you saying?”

“I’m saying that I agree with you, Julie. She’s my preferred candidate, too.”

“Really?”

“Really.” Rob pushed Grant’s CV to the side and tapped his index finger on Vicky’s. “Let’s give Ms. Thompson a break, a bit of faith, a new life. Here. With us.”
