**ADDIE'S POV**
It wasn't the day after dinner that I started to make plans with Callum and Nolan. Not even the day after that or the day after that. No, it was about two and a half weeks after that dinner that we had shared. Callum still had a lot of work to get caught up on from the time that he was putting it off to help me. Nolan had a lot of work that was backed up as well. Orders for things and requests that had piled up over the last few months. Honestly, Nolan has been behind on work since we took that trip to my parents' house. He had pushed a lot of it off and hadn't really gotten fully back into work because of all that had happened after that.
No, it was best for us all to wait until the time was right for the first strategy meeting. I knew that Nolan was looking forward to it though, so he was working extra hard on all his work. He had even agreed to let me take on some of his tasks to make sure that they were done as soon as possible.
