A change in scene requires a step back to regroup and gear up in general, but even more so before jumping into Miles and Anika\u2019s entrance into this story. Apart from the current chapter and possibly a scene at the end, they won\u2019t be participating further. They\u2019ve got their own business to tend to, which will appear in one of their upcoming books. So after assigning Jack\u2019s first case, they will graciously bow out and leave the spotlight to him. It\u2019s just as well, since Jack is already struggling after seeing Miles\u2019 photos, which he\u2019s hoping were photoshopped. Because otherwise, Miles just might be better looking than he is! Miles surely isn\u2019t as intelligent though, that would just be too unfair. No matter what, Jack has the wisdom of age on his side. There is that consolation.<\/p>\n<p>Poor Jack! Fortunately for him, Miles is fully confident in himself, and has nothing to prove. He\u2019s also perceptive, and kind. Jack will survive their first meeting, despite the shock to his system, and… come away stunned, confused, and very nearly mad with curiosity. But that, will all be thanks to Anika. This will be very fun to watch as it plays out, and I write it down. No lattes will be required to stay awake until the end!<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t begun \u201cAshes of Roses\u201d, there\u2019s no time like the present. For those who have, happy reading! And now I\u2019m going to get back to writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack and Charlotte just arrived at the Bannerman Foundation headquarters, and are minutes away from Jack\u2019s official interview.
