Douglas POV I was stumped. I couldn't figure out what I had said or done. That made the night flip so badly. Jessica was not going to come straight out and tell me; she was pushing me to work it out. After she went to bed, I downed a few glasses of scotch before climbing into bed, but sleep would not come; I was afraid I would wake Jessica up with my tossing and turning. I ended up leaving the bed, and trying to sleep in the guest room. However, even in the guest room, I couldn't sleep. Opening my laptop, I got to work on returning emails and doing some reports. Then, out of the blue, it hit me. The phone call. How stupid am I? I had been pushing us to do things together, and the first chance I got to show how much we are a team, I dropped the ball. I am kicking myself - so stupid,
