rest of your life. It won’t be easy, I’m sure, but something or
someone will come along when you least expect it and just like with Angie, it
will be meant to be,” Lizzie said with a smile for her friend.
    “She’s right, you know. You need to see what happens. What
kind of job are you thinking about?” Angie asked.
    “I really don’t know. I’ve always been interested in
interior design, you know. I took those classes after high school and worked
for a decorator before I had Bree.”
    “Well, maybe you could start a business of your own. I think
it’s great you are thinking about doing something like that. Maybe you could
work on some ideas for my project at the hotel. That would be a start for you.
Let you get your feet wet and see if this is really your thing.”
    “I think that’s an excellent idea, Angie. That is so like
you to think of something like that,” Marianne said.
    “Wow, I knew you guys would have ideas for me, but I never
expected anything like this. Thank you, Angie, I would love to work on
something for you. Let’s set a time this week to talk about it some more.” Katy
was excited at the prospect of working with Angie.
    “Okay, two down and two to go. Whose problem do we solve
next?” Angie laughed. This is great, being with the three of them again .
She wondered how many other people could say that they had friendships that had
stood the test of time like this.
    “Well, mine is not really a problem.” It was Lizzie’s turn
to speak. “It’s just me being silly. I have been at loose ends since the twins
have moved on with their own lives. Cara still lives at home, but she is super
busy with her job and her guy. I’m expecting to hear that she will be either
moving out or getting married any day now. And Colt has already moved out. He
still comes over for the occasional home-cooked meal, but less and less often.
He’s started a new job, which has been hard for Rex. He wanted Colt to come
into the business with him right out of college. But Colt had other ideas. He
wanted to test the waters first and try a job on his own. We’re still hoping
that he will eventually change his mind, which brings me to Rex. He is still my
sweet, charming, teddy bear Rex, don’t get me wrong, but he is so busy now that
the agency has taken off. He is hardly ever home and when he is, he is
exhausted. This should be a time in our lives when we are doing things
together. Instead, we never see each other. I am really having a bad case of
the empty nest syndrome, I’m afraid.” Lizzie sighed as she told her story to
the group.
    It’s not silly, sounds to me like your dilemma is similar to
Katy’s. Have you thought about going to work?” Angie asked with a smile.
    “Well, that brings me to an idea I had while having
breakfast with Rex this morning. I want to run it by you guys and see what you
think.” Lizzie went on to explain her brainstorm to the group and was met with
approval all around.
    “And you think he would be against it?” Angie asked.
    “I just don’t know how he will react to me wanting to work
with him. You would have thought he would have suggested it, but he hasn’t even
given me a clue that he has thought about it. Maybe he doesn’t think I have the
ability anymore or maybe he simply does not want me in the office every day,”
Lizzie said with a worried look on her face.
    “Well, there is only one way to find out,” Angie was quick
to reply. “When you get back to Columbus, you need to sit that man of yours
down and have a real heart to heart. You need to tell him everything you have
told us. I bet you’ll be surprised at his reaction. Maybe he has never given it
a thought that you would even want to work, let alone with him. And if he says
no, you convince him to give it a try. You have the ability. You know that and
we know that. Your writing won you so many awards in school. And you have
marketing experience. That was how you two met. And if he has forgotten
