Conference Revelations (out-of-order challenge)
The conference was packed! After checking in to the HoJo, and signing in to the conference, we tried to find our seats. Everyone was seated at round tables, luncheon style, and a podium was set up on a stage.
There were to be several speakers all day, workshops in other small rooms on special topics, and a delicious lunch. I settled in next to Brit and as far away from James as possible. I’d had enough of him in the car.
The first speaker made us laugh, gave great advice, (I took notes) and really made it all worth it, even though there was a lot more to come!
Brit and I went to the restroom during the first break.
“Wasn’t that first guy great!?” I exclaimed.
“The second was cute! And what about James, huh? He’s not bad looking.” Brit nudged me.
“He’s so boring!” I defended my apparent dislike.
“Aww, he’s just trying too hard. He likes you Les!”
“Great.”
James smiled when we returned. I tried not to gag. Now that I knew he liked me, I wanted to avoid him at all costs. I’d even volunteer to drive home!
