Back before I got to know him.Before I noticed how my heart beats twice as fast when he’s around.But what will happen to my life’s work if I go after what my heart wants?ZachEvery new client I sign, every successful negotiation, every contract I close, speaks to my success.

I want forever.But is it even possible to have love and keep up with the demands of my career?
