Chapter 73: Making Time for the Important Things

Michael had enjoyed chatting with Beau.  He seems like a genuinely nice guy. 

He had thought it a shame that Beau wasn’t interested in meeting one of his lady friends.  It might have been fun to go out on the town together.

It seemed that Beau often worked the primetime shift at the network, finishing late at night.  Michael ran into him a few times as they both returned home around midnight, Michael usually with a girl or two in tow. 

He’d been surprised when he found himself feeling slightly embarrassed in front of Beau that time in the elevator when Shannon and Michelle were going at it.  Somehow, Michael suddenly felt like an errant teenager, but he knew it was in his own head, in his own conscience.  Beau had certainly not seemed judgmental.

Throughout February and into March, Michael continued to travel quite a bit.  There was a trial in Oklahoma City for a couple of weeks, then he spent another week doing speaking engagements that Alexis had booked for him.
