“And you are certain this information is correct?”

“Yessir.” I cock my brow at Joshua, “I’m certain of it.” He tries to sound reassuring.

“Well good.” I tilt my head tightly, cracking my neck and repeating it on the other side.

“Would you like me to call him in, Mr. Donovan?” Joshua asks, standing in front of my desk.

“Yes, please do.” I smile, motioning with my hand for him to go. He turns, opening the door revealing Mr. Harris.

I rise to my feet, “Mr. Harris, thank you for coming today on such short notice. Please, sit.” I gesture to the empty chair.

“Of course, Mr. Donovan.” He gives me a full smile and takes a seat.

“As you know, Mr. Harris, we put a hold on finding you a bride because my Eden went missing. ”

“Yes and I completely understand that. Hopefully I haven’t seemed impatient. My heart goes out to you for Ms. Donovan’s disappearance and I hope that she returns home safely.”

“Yes, as do I. But fortunately enough, we’ve come to the conclusion that we will resume finding Chosen brides for our recent members of the Divine.”

“Wow, this is great news.” He says.

“I think so too, Mr. Harris.” I grin along with him, “I hope the line-up we have in store for you is to your liking. We have scheduled you to pick in two days.”

“So soon.” He shifts in his seat, “Praise the Divine.”

“Yes, Praise the Divine. Joshua has it all planned out. He’ll give you the details on the way out. I thank you, Mr. Harris, for the patience you granted me through these troubling times.”

“No need for thanks, Mr. Donovan.” He offers me his hand, “I am the thankful one.”

I grasp his hand with mine and we grip each other tightly, “Joshua, will you please follow Mr. Harris out and update him with all the details?”

“Yessir.”

I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms on my chest.

Ready to get Everton back to all its glory.
