“Neither really,” Cade said with a shake of his head. “If you wanted someone to pat you on the head and say poor, poor Lottie, I’m afraid you’re out of luck with me. Granted, it sucks. But since the start of your trip was, even by your own admission, unexpected, what were you expecting?” He nodded his head, in agreement with her assessment; although it was pretty clear she wasn’t going to do either.
“Gee thanks,” she sneered at the poor Lottie remark. “I just didn’t expect to come back ready to start the new year to be faced with this. I’ll get it sorted though, one way or another.” She turned her head away as a plan began to formulate and she really needed to speak to Ben and see just how friendly he was feeling towards her. If they combined their skills her problem would quickly be solved. “I’ll leave you to your no doubt busy day now,” she smirked, feeling far more optimistic suddenly.
